      Does it mention the Colne to Skipton line. I dream that it will re-open at some point i can picture a steam special on Colne viaduct ;)

      I was just reading about that particular line Simon, it even mentions the Barnoldswick Branch!

    It occurs to me that railway modelling would be a lot harder without the RCH.

      Kits are good. Or at least good kits are good...

    3. Daniel W

      I've not built many kits so far, but the Chivers MDV I built was probably the best designed imho.

    4. halfwit

      I really ought to build a Chivers kit as I've heard so many good things about them.

    Enjoying watching the 20 years of BRM DVD

      Damn, I was going to do a "prototypically correct" joke....

      Did you get your P4 hammer from Knuckles? Check his blog to see what it should be used or!

      You've got THE hammer?

      No I have THE hammer!

    I wonder, if I went down the bookies, would they give me odds on Bachmann announcing a Stanier Mogul?

      davefrk

      NO! Please no, I've got one I built years ago but I was planning a decent sprung chassis for it.

    Two Dapol wagon bodies arrived today, excellent test subjects for my experimental new weathering technique. Expect a blog post around the middle of the decade (unless they look rubbish).

  12. Daniel W

    Has anyone ever tried making rolling stock, where the weight is scaled just like the size?

      Interesting thought, I'm trying to visualise 1 tonne of coal in 4mm scale.

    3. Barry Ten

      I thought the scaled down weight of locos wasn't too far from the actual weight of the models?

      This should be in the forum, not SUs.

    Lots of railway/modelling books for Christmas. I fancy doing a blog post review type thingy of them at some point.

    Where do all the endless supplies of Airfix kits on ebay come from?

      Some were from my cupboard I'm afraid.

      There are some on my shelf. Even after all these years, they're still buildable. The minerals are still good.

      I keep trying to get a certain etchy kit supplier to make up etched Morton brakes for the minerals.

    Why are most aerosols ****? That'll teach me not to stray from Halfords and Games Workshop!

      Does 4 stars mean excellent Mr Watch?

      Yes, that is precisely what it means.........

    Cannot sleep so watching 'The Ghost and the Darkness' on Iplayer. Brunel might have been good, but he never had to worry about Lions eating the navvies!

  17. Daniel W

    Watching our beloved leader on MRL TV, that Lifecolour wood weathering set looks interesting.

  18. Daniel W

    Building a Chivers 21T Mineral Wagon, very impressed by the crispness of the detail. Its obviously a very well thought out kit, nice and easy to build.

    If Captain America is a super soldier, does that make Captain Kernow a super modeller?

    Slight disaster involving a spilt bottle of Liquid Poly. One Parkside body ruined.

      Put it on Ebay as 'professionally weathered' an awful lot of people do.....

    2. Daniel W

      Daniel W

      Hmmmm, 'professionally weathered to represent acid rain' does have a certain novelty value to it. At least I saved the underframe.
