  1. You could always make your own clumps of grass using a static grass applicator, some PVA and a sheet of baking paper... Cheers, Gary.
  2. Very nice weathering on the C36 Class. The GWR 4575 came up nice with the repaint. Cheers, Gary.
  3. I use toggles I picked up in Jaycar (Australia) that have the correct throw for a Peco O gauge point. Hopefully the details in the link will help you locate the switches. https://www.jaycar.com.au/miniature-dpdt-panel-mount-switch/p/SS0821 Cheers, Gary.

  7. Thank you Griff. Looking forward to you joining us at Platform1MRC. We are still sorting a few teething troubles, something that migrating a forum to a new host throws up. We are currently working on sorting any issues that our members bring to our attention. Cheers, Gary.
  8. Good to read that you have successfully been granted access Barnaby. I myself was in the same boat until moments before I had posted this. Migrating forums is a big ask, especially if you wish to retain all the members posts from the previous years, as what we have done. Other forums that have migrated have actually shut down or closed off the existing content. This is what we did not want to do. If anyone else is having trouble signing in, please bear with us. I know it may be frustrating for some (including myself) but it will be all worth while. Cheers, Gary.
  9. Hello Barnaby, We currently have been running updates on our facebook page and also via our News Letter, the Footbridge. The migration of the forum is bigger than what was first anticipated. Hopefully we will be up and running soon as I have been asked today, to log in (as a Mod) to see if the passwords have been carried through correctly. Once the Admin/Mods team can access the site without any hiccups, we will then open it to our members. I apologise for any inconvenience caused, but we are taking these steps (although slow) to future proof the forum. Regards, Gary.
  10. It's been a while since I looked in last and the changes you have made look great. :good: Cheers, Gary.

  12. An announcement from Austrains : "Austrains advises that, as part of our plans for retirement, we have sold all of our existing tooling to SDS Models who will continue updating and manufacturing our range of locomotives, coaches and wagons. The corporate structure of Austrains Pty. Ltd. remains with us. Austrains will continue manufacturing in a smaller way to complete several projects we have outstanding. These are the 41 class diesel, four goods / livestock wagons and a couple of steam locos. We also have a large quantity of stock to dispose of so expect to see us around the exhibition circuit, albeit in a slightly smaller way, for the next few years. Our arrangment with SDS Models is that ownership of the tooling for the as yet unreleased models will transfer to them after the first run of models is complete. All enquiries relating to Austrains brand products should be addressed to Austrains, not SDS Models. We wish Steven Pracy and his team well with this new venture which, with the combined tooling of SDS and Austrains, will give them a larger variety of product, covering a greater time span, than any other Australian manufacturer. For our part we will now have time to take things easier, travel a bit more but still maintain a presence in the industry. I may even write a book about my last forty years in the model wholesaling and manufacturing business. That should have a few people running for their solicitors. Cheers, Gary.

  14. We all know that there is always the 'movie' that the toy was modelled on... Cheers, Gary.
