    The turntable is the same/similar design to the one at Minehead

    Hi I already have Lazarus installed and use it for some projects where I don't need reporting.

    I still have a tender that chuffs, but you have to put a 9 volt battery in it.

    Hi Martin I am involved with a few open source projects and they all use the GNU/GPL licence so I would say it would be ideal for OpenTemplot. I think I remember you saying its written using Delphi (The Icon also suggests this) just wondering what version you are using? I currently work with Delphi 7 and XE4 although I do have the installation CD's for all the versions going back to Delphi 2 Thanks

    I have windows in my shed that are lower than the layout height, I have installed roller blinds on them that drop down behind the layout.

    Black Tac is stronger industrial strength version of Blue Tac, so although it sounds counter productive, I would have thought dabbing the deposits in the carpet with a bigger blob of the Black Tac may extract the residue onto the big blob. That's how I remove Blue and Black Tac from other surfaces.

    We went to Railworld last year, very run down and to be honest not a lot to see, the staff refused to give us the discount from having tickets for the Nene Valley Railway and were un helpful, so I am not sure how long the place will survive.

    I have use L girders and have found them to be a very flexible option if you are building with cookie cotter trackbed. They are also very strong, I can sit or stand on my L girders which are only supported by 4 legs along a 16 foot length, so you don't have to worry about leaning on the girders while working on the trackbed and layout. Cross members and risers are also easy to move and adjust if you have to for levelling, or changes.

    If you look at each building as a series of boxes joined together it makes building them easier as you only have to think about one section at a time.

    A stiff brush should get most of it up

    I guess you can straighten it using some form of rollers. At work we used coiled wire which is straightened by going through one or two sets of feed rollers before it gets to the machine. Rollers could be made using bearings or bushes with one fixed and one adjustable to clamp against the rail as you pull it through.

    I did a similar thing where I welded a stainless steel watch strap up on my wrist when I touched both terminals of a starter solenoid on a Austin Healy Sprite.

    You know, I think you are right, having looked at it again its that rear 1/4 light, looks to be a late Sunbeam Rapier Fastback H120 produced 1970-1976

    For a grey stone effect I would give it a base coat of grey primer (Halfords sprays nice) then pick out individual stones using some other darker greys using a brush.

    Having built a few turnouts and crossovers now I would say building a longer one is no different than a shorter one, the rails are just longer, the longer ones may be slightly easier in a way as the angles are less so easier to line things up.

    Are the walls and viaduct Stone or Brick ?

    That car could be the humble Morris Marina coupe, or possibly the Opal Cadet coupe.

    Depends where the resistors are. I have some that have one resistor in the battery box so is for all the leds, other sets have the resistors in the wiring.

    Streched sprue has many uses, the above being one of them.

    I have a bottle of Klear that must be at least 8 years old and I have no problem with that at all, so I would say that as suggested its some residue on the model not the Klear that's the problem.

    I have built a few of these, I will have to check when i get home.

    A cheap way of practising is to go to your nearest charity shop and buy some old toy cars, they usually have loads of them, and have a go on them.

    I assume the wheels/cranks have to have the correct quartering the same as steamers with cranks, maybe that's the reason why they are popping out that they are not quartered correctly.

    I just rub the clumps between my fingers as I dispense it into the applicator

    And this picture shows the end result
