Was this kestrel in Russia by any chance?

Try a trip to Ireland. None of the RPSI steam tours have a diesel attached. Details on their website www.steamtrainsireland.com -
A Guide to using the Silhouette Cameo Cutter
Colin_McLeod replied to JCL's topic in Scenery, Structures & Transport
I have just found this thread and these cutter/plotters are very impressive. I can see potential time saving in my planned city buildings. -
Thanks for that. I had the same experience and was wondering if I was doing something wrong. I have two packets of them but after experimenting yesterday I have decided to stick to soldering direct. I have found that the factory soldered clips on point frogs tend to come adrift when soldering a wire to them. I ended up direct soldering to four frogs this afternoon. The Tillig track is easily damaged and demands very careful handling but the end result with the Tillig ballast is worth the effort.

My advice is to cut his grass before someone else does. If you think you are taking advantage then cut the grass for the rest of the summer.

Hi Can anyone here who is familiar with Tillig Elite HO track please advise on the best way to get good reliable electrical connections to the rail using the Tillig power contact clips. Catalogue No 85506. Is there a special tool for these or what is the technique for attaching them to the track? Many thanks.

I thought that had already been done. There were 2,000 of them at Shildon but Sandra posted them all across the globe

It's funny because you had not heard it before.

5,402. That's a good one.

And the baseboard is still painted green!

Hovis was sliced brown bread and "Don't say "Brown", say "Hovis"" was an advertising slogan in the late 60s. A schoolmate of mine who's surname was Brown, got the nickname "Hovis".

Brilliant!!

Looks like serious subsidence at Shildon.

Now that is what I call excellent service.

Sure Santa Claus was doing this with his sled hundreds of years ago.

Enjoyed that sketch. Especially the ending.

Level crossing stupidity...
Colin_McLeod replied to Katier's topic in UK Prototype Discussions (not questions!)
No surprise there about the English papers. There is probably a conspiracy theory about it somewhere on Facebook blaming corruption in high places. -
Probably not but it should still be OK on first radius curves.

At least the "King Arthur" is painted green even if it has become an 2-0-2 and the cab takes up the entire vehicle.

Stone Age Double Slip
Colin_McLeod replied to Brian Harrap's topic in Modelling musings & miscellany
At about 4'3" gauge that makes 16.5mm track about right! -
I believe there is a BR cheese sandwich at Shildon.

Are there any left over trailer car seat interiors. If so I would purchase five so that I can have full seating on my APT-E with four additional trailers.
-
Don't feel sorry for all of us. I originally ordered the sound version but changed my order to the silent one and am happy with that decision.
-
Since there was never any restrictions on the number that would be produced then it is reasonable to presume IMHO that there would not be many further sales to be made by a second run until a good number of years have passed. I for one would be more supportive of a different model and will probably order a prototype HST if the announced price is right.
