      one of my loco's roofs looked like the cat had sat on it when the paint was wet, the amount of brush hairs in it,had to scrub it and start again,a lesson not to weather locos when drunk :)

      beige, ideal for winter grass

      You may have trouble dying the fur once collected, could dye the cat green then trim. ( only joking).

  3. busy weekend playing toy chuffers, today I'm going to do nothing!

  4. packing for Railex, little layout this year so no vans to meddle with. Good!

      It's only 45x2 sceinic but looks alittle bigger. There's some much better stuff at the show though!

      A layout that looks a little bigger on the outside than it is on the er.. outside...?!... a kind of 'exterior Tardis' then?!

       

      Looking forward to catching up with you tomorrow, Chris.

  5. I'm thinking this if one had a spare 50 feet, battledown Flyover would make a wonderful watch-the-trains-go-by exhibition crowdpuller. A sort of Stoke Summit for SR fans.

      Great Western equivilent is the fly-over at Cogload Jct - not a bad notion for a model either!!

      Nah, Pines Express be bu*gered! They raised the Marble Arch in Radstock to accommodate Class 85s, so that they could work the wagon works trippers!...:-D

      whats your doormat doing in the 4-foot?

    4. Chris Nevard

      Chris Nevard

      Jim SW is correct, it was just in my possession for happy snappy. I know nothing about locos or railways for that matter, so the review is being written by peeps in the know. It's a nice model and looks like an 85 (if I wrote a review it would simply say, 'it has correct number of wheels and looks like an 85, and it's a pretty colour').

      I used to use Vodka as a track cleaner - acquired when I was working in Poland in the mid 90s, a snip at 35p for the half litre.

      I don't think your 2-8-2 will like the sharp bends. 0-6-0 and 0-4-0 mostly OK as are small tender engines.

      Turn mars bar upside down, bite off the 'Milky way' bits, then fold the remains in half & shove in gob in one go. Ah, the long missed joys of childhood!
