    Found a good colour match for 'new' Great Western green (modern image)- Halfords Renault Brooklands Green. Sprayed a little N Gauge Class 139 and it now resembles Lt. Gruber's 'little tank' from Allo Allo.....

      Good show Will, just watched it and you acquitted yourselves well I thought. So there's a career on RadioRMweb for you!

      Happy to.... I can offer travel news on Cornish branch lines and all the usual Black Country bottlenecks!

      Must remember to put some stuff together for a Victoria Bridge article as discussed at TINGS...

      No... while I'm duty bound to keep quiet about the actual show.. I'll admit that I have no idea what happens in Deal or No Deal!

    Wonders how to cope without my trusty pocket Mayan calendar... Luckily those clever chaps fore- told a plan B for the 22nd December, the Christmas Radio Times!

    Back from holiday in Cornwall.. love the Camel Trail downhill by bike, after a big Padstow lunch, wished the train was still there for the trek back!

      Did you see the old foot crossings and road bridges. I bet it was a fantastic journey!

    2. Will J

      Will J

      Absolutely, and I'm full of layout ideas!

      Haha! My favourite part was the slate hill...did you get that far? Bit mounds of slate on either side of the "trackbed".

      I would love one of your little GWR tanks.

      Brave, no really, its mostly made of squareish shapes! 'Mark One' will wobble around on a Minitrix 0-6-0 chassis...

      Aha, the '813' tanks need a bit of work over Christmas to make them work better in print. Keep an eye on my blog!

    Modelling mojo restored... odd, seems to co-incide with the Grand Prix season!

    (see last update) staring at a copy of 'Professional Engineering' on his desk as a reminder of how to spell 'ENGINEERING'!
