  1. Where do you get the seeds from to grow seedless grapes?
  2. My favourite is Wyre Piddle in Worcestershire- I believe they used to sell bottled water (don’t know if they still do) - you’ve guessed it: Piddle Water!
  3. Will you therefore be diligently and assiduously turning all of your pasties upside down when no one is looking?
  4. Thank you, that’s very useful

    You make it look so easy!
  6. That’s a nice selection- you can’t tell which are kits and which are scratch built- what kits did you use?
  7. But what about what happened quite recently when Hattons announced a King......
  8. The one point no-one seems to have mentioned is that Heljan have stated they will be doing this after the 0 Gauge one: what’s to stop Hornby jumping in and doing it - it’s a fair bet they could get it out even before Heljan deliver the 0 Gauge one...
  9. Some good points- will try harder!
  10. Welcome- and it’s nice to see that you have chosen the best railway company to model.....
  11. As regards width : it seems to be recommended that 4’ x 2’6’’ is preferable, rather than 4x2’ for a ‘roundy roundy’ to allow for curve radius (a little bit more than the recommended minimum) otherwise you may struggle depending on choice of prototype. Kato Track- yukk! Similar qualities to Hornby Dublo tinplate...( just my opinion) - it looks horrible!! Peco code 55 , if nicely ballasted and weathered looks much nicer, and that is before you look at alternatives such as ‘Finetrax’ Setrack is horrible, even though’ Unitracck’ is easy to assemble (that is about the only thing going for it!).
  12. I think that one photo proves that diesels are ‘boxes on wheels’ .......:-)
  13. Just bring back Ringo Starr and all will be right with the world......
  14. Thank you!An excellent description- will have a practice when I have a day off work
  15. What colour acrylics did you use? - the track looks superb: a few further hints would be great...
  16. That’s a great idea! (Other beverages are available- a good excuse to buy more alcohol?)
  17. Looking at your pricing: we are now in the realm of locos at £150-£200 so £50-£60 for a coach seems to be the way we are going.....
