I'm doing a book signing at Waterstones in Darlington tomorrow from 11:00am to 3:00pm - nervous.

"Are you into trains?" - asked of Barry Ten while exhibiting his model train layout. At a model train exhibition.

Penzance with a 5.50 highest tide of the year, bring it on...

Glueing cosmetic fishplates onto the sides of rails...

Progress once more my Gibson G6 has changed gauge & is currently being tweeked into a P4 loco.

Ah - but to what scale Cap'n, anything less than 7mm won't satisfy ....

Has been booked to do signings at several branches of Waterstones between now and Christmas. It scares me.

Oh 'eck. My visit to scaleforum has left me wondering about switching to P4... if I'm going to add detail, why not go the whole hog? Time to browse the advice section me thinks

Went in to do a bit of innocent Proxy Shopping for 10800 just now, only to find stuff waiting there for me too! (mind you, one of the items was a lovely Hawksworth!)

Auntie Vi gone quiet? Maybe the stark realisation has dawned that the UK doesn't actually want 37s and 47s in nine million liveries

anyone recommend somewhere online to buy a new set of small twist drills?
