The first line gives hope to a build article appearing hereabouts Arthur? Mike.

If you think coaches are bad, try doing departmental wagons! Put each individual number on, then thoroughly dry with one of these; http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/20-X-Disposable-Make-Up-Eye-Shadow-Sponge-Lip-Brush-Applicator-Makeup-Tool-HOT-/322539991339?hash=item4b18e1b12b:g:YecAAOSwxvpXOdec If you do them one at a time with the minimum amount of water, then settle them down with Microset, it's not too arduous. Mike.

Personally, I would have thought the touch screen jobbies are more distracting than a mobile phone, yet you get a fine and points for using one of those. Who type approved a virtual television set in front of the driver, I thought they were illegal? Mike.

Sounds like the original concept is an accident going somewhere to happen, so replacement might be a good idea? If you've got a steady hand, Alclad chrome paint. If you've got good eyesight and a steady hand, cut kitchen foil into strips and stick on with varnish. Mike.

Spanish "wood" isn't much cop however it's stacked, ply and timber seem to be some close b@stard relative of balsa, warps like billyho, and is only suitable for making Robin Hoods bow. Plywood, (madera contrachapada), bends before your very eyes, to see it in a twisted stack in the bricolage is a sight to behold. Timber lengths have to be unscrewed out of the rack, I needed some 9mm x 9mm last week and left without buying any such was it's warp factor. Aluminium would seem to be the way to go, but I'm not at all confident of it's dimensional stability as a baseboard in these climaes. Tim Horn will be getting my contract. Mike.

Hope DoMH didn't build the zimmer frame, you'll not make it past the matrons office. Mike.

Can't beat a shaved pussy. Mike.

It's an even bigger trek from Spain James!! Mike.

I reckon a message to Justin might produce a result? Mike.

Firstly, excuse me for advising you to do something I couldn't, but, as it's a cameo locomotive, couldn't you gimp an image to get the basic dimensions, then do as Adam has done with his lowmac, and cut the body and frames from brass/plastic sheet? Tucked away at the back of the layout it wouldn't need to be super detailed, and any cock ups, errors can be hidden in the shed or on the side facing away. Mike.

Pedant. Mike. , and stop calling me shirley.

There was a "hopefully before end of May" in the post above. Sit tight, it will be worth waiting for. Mike.

As long as it had a seat. Mike.

Instead of carrying a roll of carpet round with you, why don't you just cut some pieces to fit inside your shoes? Mike.

I used to go out with a girl like that! Mike.

"Some" people need to take their blinkers off! Mike.

I was going to click agree, then realised I don't, the wagon articles are of equal interest to me at least, if not more so, as I am more likely to build a wagon than a fantastic layout. Looking forward to your third child! Mike.

That's cheating . Mike.

Depends how far you want to walk! Mike.

Stop it, there are some images I don't want in my mind! Mike.

That's progress for you! Mike.

Obviously from first hand experience? Mike.

Not heard those before! Mike. Edited to add; There is a pub in Benidorm called the Titanic, guess what the pub next door is called?

My first term is up soon, I'm trying for parole due to good behaviour, but seeing as you lot have cut us all adrift with Brexit I don't think you want us back. God help you after next week, it's no good coming crying to me begging for forgiveness and asking for accomodation. Mike.

It also depends which word the emphasis is on, you have to listen closely if you don't want more trouble than you've already got. Mike.
