    Anything that stops money being siphoned out of the railways into shareholders pockets has to be a good thing. Andi

    It’s car park barrier aka ped barrier. It’s designed to guide people not contain them. It is lethal and should NEVER be used in the front of a gig. They are not designed for a pushing load. If they go over the feet are sharp and will kill. There is a case on record where they were used as a gig barrier and someone got excited and jumped up and down on the lower bar which became detached from the rods. Some of the rods became detached at the top however and entered the rib cage of the person jumping. Pit barrier is a significantly better design with a large plate under the feet of the audience so they weigh the thing down, and diagonal bracing behind it to resist pushing forces. It also has a step in the back of it for the pit crew to assist people over it if needed. Each section is firmly bolted to the piece next to it. It will still move in case of surges though. (See video of the Manchester gig crowd surge Andi

      St Edmund is the real patron saint of England, English King and martyred on English soil. 

       

      Plus the story of the wolf guarding St Edmund's severed 'ead is far more plausible than saving a princess from a huge fire breathing flying lizard which had the dexterity to tie the princess to the tree.   And where did it get the rope, B&Q or Screwfix?

    5000 were made but number 4472 is to be ceremonially thrown into the firebox of FS! Andi

    A sound engineer friend had a punter at a gig say to him "what happens if I touch that button?" The answer "Your nose bleeds" wasn't what he expected! Andi

    If someone leans on my layout then I reserve the right to paint the offending part of that person to match the scenery Andi

    What decoder do they have fitted?
  13. Dagworth
    I presume you have turned the brightness of the lights down in the decoder settings? This is done by switching them on and off extremely rapidly. If you put them to full brightness they will stop flickering like that but will probably be too bright. The only real solution is to change the resistor values on the light circuits. Andi

    Acrylic or enamel? I find that ballast glue causes tarnish until it’s fully dried (yellow rail heads), could it be that your paint hasn’t completely cured yet? Where is the layout? (Loft, shed etc.?) Andi

    I don't have the equipment for working ply to the level of accuracy needed for making frames, the board tops were recycled from a festival so all I had to do with them was cut them in half with a jigsaw. Softwood frames allowed me a lot more flexibility for terrain changes where the landscape is below the track board within my own skill levels. Andi

    I’m working with 4ft square boards at the moment, 9mm ply on 3x1 softwood frames. While they are not too bad for weight it’s more a matter of how to hold them to move them. They are awkward but manageable, though half the time I’m moving them up and down stairs. Andi
