You guys talking of paint has reminded me of one of the most useful "modelling" apps I have on me phone. paintRack iOS & android "A virtual paint rack for miniature, hobby, and wargamer painters!

Cows milk is for calves and nobody else.

Miss him badly, still.

Richard Harris and Peter O’Toole share a joke at the Dorchester 1995 👍

He's guilt of selling me GWR literature, but I didn't know no better in them days...

There's no quick way to properly (correctly) clean an air brush. You have to take it apart lovingly and gently rub it's bits with a suitable solvent (read yer manual for which one, it depends on what the rubbery bits are made from). Then give it all a nice polish and put it back together with some lube (of your choice, because by now you know what's safe👍), my personal preference is for a bit of needle juice... yum

I'm amazed it made it to 1990.

Definitely. If you wish to preserve any particular brain cells, I suggest you put them in a vapour proof bag for the duration of useage... and then some.

All I will say is, they're all responsible for selling the family silver. Every single administration.

Even our own Mr Rees-Mogg is in favour, well that's what he said when he wrote back to me about this 👍

"Everybody wants to be a cat, Because a cat's the only cat who knows where it's at. Everybody's pickin' up on that feline beat, 'Cause everything else is obsolete..."

Personally I'm only after two car DMU's but I would happily pay £300 for a DCC ready (I don't do DCC atm) set. I was happy enough with the EFE LSWR Cross-country 3 coach sets to pay £195 for them, so by my logic £300 would be the sweet spot for a two car. For a five car, I'd go to £450 for DCC ready. You gets what you pays for at the end of the day. Even if here were kits for what I want, I wouldn't be happy with my 'build quality', such are my skills atm.

That looks like a painting or even a model. You can't get anything else that says GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY quite like that image. Superb, thank you for sharing it!

...or just cash in, people who collect not only trains but Beatles guff will love them.

A good year for collectors at least. I can't see many 'Locomotions' lasting long in the wrong hands, although at £170 a pop (which considering the complexity of it seems a fair price), one would hope they'd be well cared for. If I had the spare wedge I'd be up for one, just for the novelty value 👍 Where's my G6 and Ironclads Mr Hornby? 😜
