Err only problem with that is that a I pad doesn't have a keyboard? Will cleaning the screen do ? Not every one is a Microsoft slave you know, and I don't even own this it's my son's castoff

Sorry Stu, but I have never got to the pies, to much cake and pasties consumed to even think about pies personly speaking

Bin ...to the counter for CAKE ! Bin ...to the counter for Tea ! Bin ....to the counter for PASTIE'S Bin ...to the counter for MORE CAKE! BIn ...to the seat to digest that lot ! Thats where he's Bin ! Sorry for that folks

Err ! What do you mean their are no waiting rooms at Bristol T M ? There was one on every platform last week when I was their and it was the same ones as when I worked on the station for Royal Mail though our hiding hole of the chain bridge is gone thank god, drafty hole

Never mind passports ! Daily packages sent up containing pasties to keep any transferase staff going not that this new shop helps me much living halfway between the two natural tendencies to go west though!

O! Forgot to say I reserve ether the smarty wagon or the lemon slice from Stu's selection

Stu said, And it's not mandatory to bring a cake to gain entry.   At least not yet. but if not cake being mandatory dare I mention some thing that might be .........PASTY consumption

Don't worry about me, last year I spent all my money with Kernow and 247 developments, bankrupting myself on the bring and buy I could only stretch to drink !

Not quite the same thing I think but Taunton Model Railway Group open during the day during some of the operating days as they can be found on Bishops Lydeard Station as any on who goes to the Saturday SWAG day will know

O god now I am a gone wrong and rusty modeller in the main but ! I have all ready succumbed to two of these things I don't need and more temptations thank you Dapol !

For him or us ?

Worth comeing along just to see this being tackled never mind the show it's self, what do you recon should be the forfeit for not finishing it all ?

To follow on from all the other My first cars! Mine was a March 1953 80" Land Rover, bought when it was only 27 years old spent a freezing cold winter rebuilding it and got it running just before I passed my driving test, which I then ran for a few years...I wonder where it is now forty years on ? O ! I know. I just remembered its in the garage at the bottom of the garden, forty years of land rovering next month that's only thirteen years less than I have had my first train (loco) and Nellie is still in my ownership as well, still goes as well as it ever did PS the 456 of my graham456 is part of the reg No

Without thinking to long about this how about flex for a iron? All right it might not be silicone,but the core conducting wires are fine multi strand designed to flex as the irons goes back and forth, rather than normal flex which has only three strands makeing it stiffer,its the thick copper wires that stiffen the flex rather than The sheathing, also a iron being high currant draw should be fine on a drill should be available at a local hardware store

GWRRob your a hero ! Such a simple thing worked a treat very happy bunny coach now complete and finished after a five year hiatus nice to Finnish it after a layof due to a house move now on to the giant that needs bogies

Doh ! That sounds to simple! I will give it a go tomorrow on a scrap bit of glazing thank you

Backing up all vecchio has said it may be just age and the clips that held the fuse had lost there tension on the fuse causing heating due to high resistance then melting of the plug, if your lucky ?

Thanks Pete now how the heck am I going to represent that ?........white would have been so easy but ! I tried the white paper I mentioned earlier, not a goer looked so wrong

Hi jacking this topic as I also have a question about these restaurant cars, haveing dug my comet kit out of hibernation after moving and setting up my bed and Breakfast now all it needed was the windows putting in before putting the body on the glazing is now done with the help of my johnson's clear, But the question is are the windows behind the counter whitened out as I suspect and shall I paint them or put white paper/card behind the glazing ?

Back in my youth working in a model shop in Bristol I mush have had around a hundred (well it felt like it) of these things apart to change the plungers for customers, useing chromed plungers to replace the brass ones fitted at The factory, I don't think the chromed ones were any better but may have been a attempt by Airfix to make them less sticky ? Anyway during this dissection I often came across two coupling springs instead of one and not always matching ends, I came to the conclusion it was due to the fiddly little things sticking together and in the rush to build them a couple would get jammed in instead of time wasting separating them out

I was just going to tick the like box for those wagons but I thought you deserved a bit more praise than that Not just Ks. but Ks and wealleans products Looking far from thirty year old wagons well done

Well it's up to you, but people find Ferraro Rocher chocolate boxs useful for small items, can't confirm this though as no one in my family likes them. So I have a supply problem! Due to this I use tin biscuit tubs with labels on ( it's a good time of year as they should be empty by now) for large stuff and small compartment clear plastic tray thing as sold in pound shops for the small bits , I just recommend makeing sure it has a decent clipping shut lid so that if (when) you knock it over the lid stays shut !

I always thought from the look of them and seeing the new one at watchet. And the carcass of williton in the car park now done and in use Also standing around awaiting mainline specials at the now cutdown one (to four tracks)at norton fitzwaren the whole design was in panels to enable to to fit or be / fit any size as the one at Norton (admittedy the surviving bit now covers three tracks and is the lattice type not the solid panels of the other two but it not only went over four tracks then had a intermediate tower but then went over the yard

Go on then steam port show and tell me exactly where in the other thread where the peticular plate No 136 is quoted ? As being made by which particular manufacture ! And in a previous post I quoted I didn't see the point of getting a special made ias it is all ready made, but quite often I find people don't really READ posts

And again, and again, and again ! But thanks to Steve, I now have a lead.......just have to track jackson Evans down now
