  1. Only ever had one of those, the inside didn't seem cooked, veg was as hard as iron. The cafe/post office at Hornby we frequent on a regular basis does a nice Lancashire version.
  2. Always like to see progress, keep it up.
  3. Quite right, didn't look far enough. Corrected now.
  4. Agreed, I use N gauge stuff usually. Those sleepers look excellent. No doubt you'll rust up the rail sides and chairs?
  5. I wouldn't make it too pristine!
  6. Nice modelling but has an out of gauge train bashed the canopy?
  7. Recently got a 6 axle set of Romfords/Markits insulated 21mm drivers for under £20 inc. postage.
  8. Some great work, Chris. Don't know how you do it.
  9. I put this down to poor cleaning up of the locos before spraying, I've never had trouble in the past with Halfords etch primer, brake fluid has a job to strip usually!
  10. Another thing I found with graphite sticks is that it can build up on top of isolating rail joiners and bridge the electrical gap. Just this morning I had a short on a turnout and it turned out the graphite had bridged the isolation gap, not helped by warm weather expanding the rails and closing the gap to where the graphite took over and caused the short. I use WD40 Contact Cleaner now.
  11. I use Halfords' grey etch primer on my metal kits. Gives a nice key for the top coat.
  12. Thanks for the link. Just bought a set of 6 insulated 21mm drivers for just over £19. Wizard want £7 plus for 1 wheel!
  13. Strange what you say about paint adhering. The last 2 locos I painted had 2 coats of etch primer, a couple of surface prep - one I surfaced prepped first, the other had etch first, then a couple of coats of matt. Even handling the locos fetches the paint off.
  14. I am not envious of the space, I am not envious of the ..., I am not..... Okay, I'm as green as grass.
  15. Jerry it's hard to believe that's 2mm scale. What a great line-up. I wish I lived closer.
  16. Day after, the King's day after that. His next is 17th June.
  17. Would have been better as a 2-6-2?
