    Buys Ratio kits online. Next day Ehattons has some for cheaper. Well, now I have two on the way.

      I know the one from hattons has gibsons as it was in the photo. Id assume PetersSpares would keep more new stock than old, so hoping for metal, but either way I have a small stockpile of wheels. Though I did just get rocking w iron etches, so im torn between using them on the Ratio kits, or using them to scratchbuild more random stuff. Any good Diagrams you recommend?

    Anyone know LNWR cab interior colors?

  7. Spitfire2865

    If it wasnt for the lining, Id consider modeling pregrouping.

      Spitfire2865

      If I went pregrouping, Id stick to LNWR/MR. Some of the loco designs are beautiful.

      Its currently forming a boil so no chance of infection yet. Though if it pops, Ill definately clean it, rub any and all burn cremes I can find on it, and bandage it up. Though it was a very minor burn to begin with.

    Decided. Cauliflower it shall be. Just need to actually buy it now...

    I haven't managed to injure myself yet this week. Thats an achievement as of recently.

  13. Spitfire2865

    Customers need to take a lesson from us modelers on patience. Yes, Im sorry your food is taking so long, but there are clearly a dozen people ahead of you.

      Boris, you are more correct than you know.

      Its amazing how peope shoehorn in getting food into their commute. Then get mad when they arent first.

    Could someone explain what splitpins are used for in loco kitbuilding?

    1. Spitfire2865

      Spitfire2865

      These are some big split pins though, bigger than any handrail knob in 4mm. Also I only got three of them. Kits from LRM for those curious.

    Are Markits wheels just stiff or do they simply not come off their axles as bought?

    1. Spitfire2865

      Spitfire2865

      Stiff. rock them on and off in a diagonal pattern. Once they are worked on and off, they should go on easily enough and be secured with the nuts.

    Well that Royal Scot I bought may have to go back. It's gears don't mesh and the wheels turn freely, they really shouldn't do that.

    Ah, that's where I put my mojo!

    So pissed off at the USPS. Package held in sorting facility for close to two weeks and customer service refuses to assist me.

    Does anyone sell individual 1/76th bricks? I think it would be a fun idea to either inlay track or build a structure realistically.

      Why are such tiny things so damn expensive. I thought I could find a pack of say 500 or 1000 for less than

    Amazon says tomorrow, USPS says today, and I say it should have been yesterday. How long does it take a box to ship half way across the state?

    Bought his first car and is confused. There's no buffers, the droplink coupling, no wheel flanges. How does this thing work?

    1. Spitfire2865

      Spitfire2865

      The big wheel in the cab is the brake, such a shock the auto industry hasn't moved over to vacuum braking yet.

      And stretched sprue and me dont get along very well. For some reason, Airfix sprue just burnt rather than melted, and Im all out of otner sprues,
