The “explosives” sign? I took the photo less than an hour ago in Lincoln Andi

What about petrol?

If/when that goes up it’s going to be very spectacular and make a hell of a mess Andi

This should win an award as the longest sentence ever posted on RMweb! Andi

I kind of did both, I was a train driver for several years before I went to work in the entertainment industry as a lighting engineer so while not a rock star I do now make my living from concerts. Andi

Passenger or empty stock? The class 5 headcode would suggest ECS Andi

I love the idea, I just don't know if I have the inclination with 60ft of layout to detail! Andi

That's my plan with the Ipswich boards too, a "skateboard" with castors to take a pair of boards, a top to match to keep them apart and sides to prevent anything getting in and destroying the overhead. Ravensclyffe has individual flightcases for each board that have the castors built in and fully enclose the boards. Andi

Probably because there isn't much of a pig that we don't eat to be left over for pet food? Andi

I like the idea of adding a fillet on the side of the layout to support the full terrace. It would be a lot easier to model the houses that way. The plan is that there will be a two foot walkway either side of the layout for the operators so that fillet shouldn’t get in the way if it is shaped to the line of the house fronts or the road edge.

There is no back edge, the layout is viewable from both sides. Andi

And why does no manufacturer make mouse flavour cat food? Andi

One part of my Ipswich layout has a terrace of houses which are slightly angled to the edge of the baseboard. If built accurately to the prototype they will end up with part of the terrace half off the edge of the board. Should I build them in the right place with half houses or should I change the angle so that the whole terrace stays just on the baseboard? The photo shows the position of the terrace if I stick to prototype position Andi

I have a black shoulder boulder too.

How does a Welshman eat his cheese? Caerphilly Andi

It's something I've been intrigued by too, all I can find is a reference from the Ipswich Society http://www.ipswichsociety.org.uk/newsletter/newsletter-october-2020-issue-223/ipswich-railway-stations-part-2 I guess I've got you to thank for some of the points I've had to build for the layout then? I particularly like the straight run of points leaving P2 heading down and across to the Up main. Where the Up and Down main lines curve there is a very visible straight section across the points along the Lowestoft. You can see it clearly here from P3 I have used the correct point numbers for all the powered points in the scenic part of the layout :) Andi

The print and label type is identical to those from Cheltenham Model Centre. Their labels are of various different colours, currently mostly white or yellow but the bright orange may have been used in the past. Andi
