      I sincerely hope 'developments' don't result in too much press 'recognition' over the coming months...

      I watched "Jockey School" last night. It turned out to be The Jeremy Kyle Show with some horses playing bit parts.

  11. Nelson Jackson

      It's not about the trains, it's the infrastructure around the railway, stations, line side equipment, signal gantrys and much more

  12. Nelson Jackson

    Goodness me I thought I was on the BRM website when I checked back here,

    Got a brand new bag of 20 Dapol "disc" wheels, however one of them is spoked, I might put it on eBay and title it "Super Rare L@@K"

      Use "vintage" always a good overworked term to try to give old tat some worth.

  17. Nelson Jackson

    Got a new vid coming up soon on the channel.

  18. Nelson Jackson

    Got a ratio coach waiting to be built, but I can't decide wether to have her in NCC crimson or UTA green.

    1. Swifty11

      Could you expand, please?

    2. Nelson Jackson

      Nelson Jackson

      I am off school Monday (today) and Tuesday because of teacher training, I guess it's where teachers all get together and have a meeting?

  21. Nelson Jackson

    Grrrr, why did I choose the hard one to make, instead of the more simple brake van. The windows are causing a massive frustration.

      Don't let it get to you Nelson - take a brake, have a brew and come back to it. It is by rising to these challenges that you will become a better model maker. You CAN do it!

    2. Nelson Jackson

      Nelson Jackson

      Thanks, I will leave it till the morning. I'm glad someone believes in me. The problem was, I had completed the first window, but trying to copy it and make another one is proving a challenge.

    3. Castle

      Castle

      To replicate dimensions accurately, use a pair of dividers, compasses or the best is a vernier gauge. That way you are copying exactly. I hope this helps!

  23. Nelson Jackson

    GTA V, Dunno, Hmmm, should I get it?

    Had a brilliant day at the 7 1/4 gauge gathering today. Video will be uploaded tonight.

  25. Nelson Jackson

    Had a brilliant day driving our 7 1/4 gauge Bridget, despite the few teething problems, such as the safety valve not reducing steam quick enough. Shouldn't be too hard to fix.

      A hammer could be useful then, good thinking you two.
