  1. Absolutely magic Giles.So neat and simple.I take my hat off to you,sir. Phil
  2. Have a look on youtube,there are several videos of rough American trackwork(and even rougher Chinese stuff!) Phil
  3. As a very tenuous connection with this, Netherseal Colliery was our "local" pit, up Pit Lane,not 10 mins walk from where I'm sitting now. Closed in 1947,my great grand father delivered coal from there round the village , with a pony and cart .Trojan ,now at Didcot was the shunting engine there ,later it moved to the paper mill at Tamworth .All that remains now is the old trackbed from it's junction at Castle Gresley ,and the brick built reservoir by the farm.

  4. Can't beat a little Bribery and Corruption................. Phil
  5. Be very careful ,Andy, you'll be back with 7mm again............................ Phil
  6. I shall be sorry to see 7 Mills go, Andy, it's been a source of inspiration for me. However, onwards and upwards, eh? atb Phil
  7. Sorry to hear that Amanda ,let's hope things do work out ok and you can continue in 7mm. atb Phil
  8. Question ,Gentlepersons; Have any of you got any dimensions for GWR signals, particularly the spectacle plate? Drawings on t'interweb are like rocking horse poo, few and far between. and HMRS don't have any copies for sale at the moment.(due to covid) TIA Cheers Phil
  9. Could it be the rear sanders? The upright rod between that and the hand brake could be a fuel gauge. atb Phil
  10. Thanks for that Julian,I'll have a look into that. atb Phil
  11. Can I ask where you got your arched bridge from please? I'm looking for something similar. TIA. Cheers Phil
  12. Don't think there's any particular colour code ,it's down to the supplier. Morris's are green, whatever the contents. atb Phil
  13. I must say ,I had some locos weathered at TMC (whom I have no connection with other than a satisfied customer) for less than 100 notes, although I think the charges have gone up since, and these were for 4mm.They were very well done ,just what I wanted. atb Phil
  14. That's a very fine job indeed, sir. You reach heights others only aspire to. atb Phil
  15. Excellent work, Howard, Proper job. atb Phil
  16. Now you tell me! I've seen it no end of times, but not from that angle, but from passing over the road bridge. atb Phil
  17. They certainly did, but they were much more covert in their actions, trusting people to be careful, using their own judgement. They were embodied in Management. I have seen (posed) photos taken from a Midland Railway safety booklet, so it was taken seriously before "Modern Times". atb Phil.
  18. Looks about the same size as my shed! You'll be squeezing quarts into pint pots too! atb Phil
  19. That looks better. At least no one will get a clout round the ear and the Safety Elves wont get their knickers in a twist. atb Phil
  20. Certainly looks familiar. atb Phil
  21. Certainly looks familiar. atb Phil
