The Fatadder

Ahhh that reminds of the mini that front wheels that moved

Currently trying to workout how the pickups work on a D Type Jag, with a couple of lotus and Ferrari single sweaters to follow. Only problem is, when I'm done I don't know if I will want to trust s 3 year old with them....

Was disappointed to find a mint boxed Bentley Blower was only a mint box containing random spare parts...

Slipped up?

Derailed?

Time to deploy the 3lb lump hammer. Got to the point of measuring a peco slip tonight it was going that badly

Send it back to Hornby Rich.

And have to remove another set of Great Crest Western logos... I will write to them later and ask for a replacement set of tender wiring I think, hopefully will do the job (assuming the second batch is better made...)

In future I think all locos will be DCC fitted before I start work changing liveries and fitting new numbers

Good luck, my loco had been with them since 1st September ( not a King ) . I am now seriously considering other actions !

Sounds like my colleagues.

but you only need 2 wires!

is that the escape hatch? -- gone

Check the factory wiring !

Going to strip out the decoder and check again on DC tomorrow, I just find it very strange that it does all the usual noises etc when programming, acts as though it's successfully programmed and then doesn't work.

Not a model child?

Have you given up waiting for the Hattons King then? I picked up a King Jimmy for under a ton, but it needs more work than thought to 1947-ise it! Top lamp-iron needs shifting for a start...

If they get rid of the stupid design on the number plate I will rethink maybe adding one, but having now got 2 Hornby Kings for the price of one DJM I'm quite happy.

Now to get rid of those logos....

You can never have enough of 'em!

In the end they were wrong. Sounds like it was actually a DBS freight stuck in a tunnel....

....so it refused to leave the tunnel?

Horrocksford.

Nice.

Can't tell the colour of 6829 in the photo I'm working on due to the amount of weathering, but at least can see the G W R on the tender (partially obscured by the colour rail watermark

She's a lucky girl, on the way home she has a pacer from Teignmouth to NA

At last,a HST back to Plymouth. Could have done with it slowing down through Brent though...

Pacer and a Voyager in one day. Combined age less than the age of the only decent train in the itinerary.

Isn't it always the way! Best wishes for when the new arrival does appear!

No. If you had gone .........

They run to their own timetable. Get used to it. This also applies after they are born

Damn Couriers, can't trust them to deliver.......

Go on live dangerously... Head off... That way you are guaranteed to be required 5kms from scalefourum

My commiserations. I can't attend for family type reasons either. Hope the baby comes soon and all is well.

Could have gone to Swindon after all

Sounds to me more like it's taking arrival advice from the TfL dot matrix indicators...

Hope all goes well! :-)

Indeed it was, but King James was every bit as bad. In the end had to result to a degree of scraping to get it shifted. Hoping garnish will hide the ghost remains of the old letters...

Maybe they're trying to stop you tampering with their tampos, so to speak....

A few salad leaves stuck to the sides should work wonders.

Bit of rounded skirting board or rolling pin on a cutting mat. Attack with suitable carefulness. Advice available.

How does the rolling pin approach work

Do it in 2mm scale.

What happens if you do the beer stage first, then go on to track laying?

Look at my previous layouts...

That's OK. As long as you buy the other one as well.

Good luck with rewheeling that.

It's for my OO project so no worries there. As for the other one, unless they get rid of that numberplate recess and seriously refine the lining over the 48xx not a chance!

Result !

I thought he said extra sheets of two ply.
