      You will struggle to make a Voyager look like a bridge, try a 70 and drop it in place

      The 'grockles' arrived here in force about a month ago, coach loads of trippers arrive every day ..... For some reason a lot of them are from Wales.

    Another shapeways order, another shapeways problem

    1. 2mmMark

      2mmMark

      Sad, isn't it? There are 3 French metre gauge models which really appeal but I'm reluctant to spend 60 euros on what might be a substandard result.

    2. Etched Pixels

      I've had no problem getting bad prints redone, they are very good about that. It's the problem that every order they seem to find a new inventive way to f**k something up differently

       

      This time it seems they've taken a block of six subtly different models extracted one of the from it and printed it six times (despite it being one stl upload)

      Both I suspect!. Stil got the glazing, minor paint fixups and compartments to finish on ex GCR coaches and a pair of non corridors done but not yet decalled.

    listens to the tap tap of water through the roof into the room below, this is going to be expensive

      Temporary/cheap/broken roofs are best listened too by a multitude of randomly drafted cups, mugs, pots and pans!

    had an entertaining weekend, including being on a 150 that overshot Garth station and had to reverse a bit, passing a 97/3, a pair of DRS 37s on the network rail train, and a bizarre FGW 2 car unit half 150 and half 153. Even saw a movement on the GCG line ! and all by accident
