    Anyone used the train tech steam sound capsule?

    Anyone with any experience in travelling from Gatwick Airport to Paddock Wood by train?

      Gatwick - Redhill - Tonbridge - Paddock Wood, 1hr 27, £13.50 single, or Gatwick - London Bridge - Paddock Wood, 1 hr 24, £27.10

      Fairly easy, change at Redhill and Tonbridge. You'll have to use the stairs at Redhill but there's lifts if you have lots of luggage, and the same is true of Tonbridge. Should take you around 60-80 minutes. There's frequent services between Gatwick-Redhill and 3tph from Tonbridge-Paddock Wood, but beware as there's only a hourly service between Redhill-Tonbridge. See if you can spot the tunnel of the Uckfield line around Edenbridge, took me a while to notice!

      years and years and years ago my mum was in hospital and part of the prescription was a pint of guinness. My dad thought that was brill.

      I'd think twice about mixing the milk in with the Guiness, and would definitely not mix Humbrol paints with Guinness, not even Track Colour...

    Are Halford spays, enamel and/or enamel friendly?

      I think I read somewhere you may have problems if you spray on top of enamels.

      Have you ever considered the merits of modelling an industrial system? A sausage factory, perhaps?

    4. Frappington Jct

      Frappington Jct

      Then you could buy a load of those old Hornby sausage vans (why haven't you done that CK?)

  17. Nelson Jackson

    Can't wait

      Well you can go to the box shifters and buy in bulk. Maybe a wee bit cheaper
