Tile adhesive for kitchens and bathrooms. Instructions state only use outdoors and in well ventilated areas. Is it me?

I strongly believe that he built and completed it months ago and is now just drip-feeding photos and anecdotes to raise the tension and expectation before its grand unveiling...

SWMBO won't be pleased when she sees her handbag collection...

You could do that with a servo too. Mind you, the flagman would need to undergo extensive surgery first - possibly above and beyond the call of duty,

Well, that's this morning taken care of. What are you going to do after lunch?

Clicking on 'Like' or 'Craftmanship' seems inadequate. That is a huge task to complete - even the viaduct on its own would be an impressive layout. Well done!

I can see a marketing opportunity. Instead of a book to accompany the series, how about a 'James May Reassembler Tool Kit'? -
I could make it at home for nothing. All I need is a small aubergine...

Never mind the switches - look at the size of the snakes!

I thought I had already told you.

We'll have less of that sort of thing on here. It is a respectable forum you know!

What a lovely effect the clouds have given to those scenes. Proper job , Rick.

What do you call a Lada with a sun roof? A skip. Why do Ladas have heated rear windows? To keep your hands warm when you push them.

I'm game. We'll see who rusts first.

I've told you before, if you've got something to say, write. And when you've written it, eat it.

It does work (I tried a test point for a future build) and has been used on exhibition layouts. The book is well worth having and on a project like this I suspect would repay its purchase price many times over in time saved and problems averted.

If you've got the 2mm Association book 'Track' then have a look at 'filmstrip tiebars'. These are a piece of old 35mm film negative (remember them) in a slot through the baseboard. A servo and some square plastic tube makes the below baseboard undergubbins. The film strip is attached to the undergubbins and pokes through the slot. The blades are bent so that when at rest they are BOTH open. The film strip pushes one or the other to the closed position. It is a lot easier to set up than anything that involves soldering, drilling or other means of attaching blades to tiebars, the tiebar is really thin and looks more like the real thing than a moving sleeper. http://www.2mm.org.uk/products/trackbook/
