      Another vote here for screenwash as a general purpose acrylic thinner

    3. AndrewC

      AndrewC

      Screenwash works great. If you are using water, don't use tap if you are in a hard water area. It will crust up the airbrush in time.

      see, it does work...... Well done to SWMBO Griffin, Bet you cried a tear of joy, I concur with the above but would add, that seperate your modeling budget pronto, nappies, aston martin buggies will not do it any good whatsoever.

      Sadly won't happen. Both of these locos were a gift to their respective countries and as such we cannot dictate what will happen to them. I am certain both will return to their homes in 2014 and take pride of place looking in far better condition then when they left them.

      Usually a couple of hours, but sometimes they put a hold on the transfer for 'review purposes. No idea what this means or why they do it though!

      Barry O

      Take photos of your locos and add them to your list. It helps tracking them if something unfortunate happens

      Adobe's installers can be a bit of a pain. Could try Foxit Reader as an alternative (and often faster) PDF viewer.

  18. Miffed. Great rail restorations episode 1 didnt record, and is not available to download :-(

  19. class 37 and class 90 from norwich to peterborough, bound for crewe via liecester, class 90's banned to leicester and from grantham to nottingham, back to norwich it goes!!!! the modern railway!

    2. Leicester Thumper

      Leicester Thumper

      yeah how come a 90 is banned from Leicester? not something to do with the bridges is it?

    3. Dan Griffin

      Dan Griffin

      maybe im not 100% sure, i think its somthing to do with gauge. even though the line to nuneaton has been gauge enhanced!!

    2. Dan Griffin

      Dan Griffin

      no, more of a question really, as I rarely buy steam locos, wondered if it was a bargain? or
