    1. GWR88

      GWR88

      I had to take the train for my work experience last July...Turns out we have elbows for a reason!

  11. A brilliant 2 hours on TV, with the A4s and also the First Great Western program. This is what proper telly should be about.

    1. lmsforever

      lmsforever

      good prog the staff earn their money and the public are prts

    2. Horsetan

      Horsetan

      Maybe there should be dedicated railway channel or three on satellite telly....

    3. Sam*45110*SVR

      Sam*45110*SVR

      Just typical I miss Tele tonight and not one but two brand new railway programs are on....

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

    1. Castle

      Castle

      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!

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

    1. cromptonnut

      cromptonnut

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

    2. NXEA!

      NXEA!

      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!

  14. Getting some "drive errors" on here :S

    1. Nelson Jackson

    2. Nelson Jackson

      Nelson Jackson

      Indeed :D better off going with a RTR chassis, who's going to know about the missing 1 or 2mm.....

  15. Oh I absolutely hate it when RMweb, logs you out then back in, then says error then refreshes and eventually logs you out again, arghhhhhh

    1. Andy Y

      Andy Y

      Clear your browser cookies, that should resolve it.

    2. Nelson Jackson

      Nelson Jackson

      Did that before and it always keeps coming back, ah well, just gotta keep on deleting cookies :)

  16. Warwells to the left of me, warwells to the right, here I am, stuck in the middle with you!
