    If you want to know what marrying "well" does and then pocketing royalties from the extraction of masses and masses of Welsh coal for the railways, visit Mount Stuart on Bute

      Station is impressive indeed and i'll remember the recommendation for an egg roll next time I'm passing.

    Why is it that having spent ages carefully shaping a seated footplate crew member to fit in a very confined space to the point of sitting perfectly, when one applies super glue and re-inserts, it no longer sits correctly?

    Well that's another computer gone down and no parts available.... Most stuff backed up but annoying just the same. I suppose 10 years isn't bad but the dreaded Windows 10 on a new one is a worry.

      You will know what I'm going to say Dave..as advised by people in the know buy a Mac.

      Very few ever ditch a Mac and go back to a PC..but the other way about?!.tells you something.

    Carlisle’s Bog Junction looks like a near perfect small layout with a plausible scenic break at either end. Only problem would be the gargantuan fiddle yard and stock requirements; even in 1967...

      Dave we have the space at the club so get modelling!

      Interestingly the overbridge on Currock Rd looking at the junction still has the makers plate..

      'P&W McLellan Clutha Works Glasgow 1876'

      Saw a similar plate on a footbridge in Singapore recently.

      I remember the works in Kinning Park and had an auntie stay in the tenement building opposite with the claim to fame as being the longest unbroken tenement property in Glasgow.

      ..probably in Scotland!

      You are more than 'dead good' Dave you're work is professional and if anyone wants images of same pm me and Ill be happy to oblige.

      I might add you are amongst the most reasonable out there too..probably too cheap and this may put customers off but believe me the final finish is professional.

      Welcome to the fold Dave.

      Our numbers were dwindling so it good to have a defector from the broad gauge room.
