Radio Controlled locos, lorries, cranes etc. Electroplating
Pyewipe Jct replied to Giles's topic in 7mm+ modelling
That is ridiculously good! -
A TEA?! The best I could manage was a TTA tank in the fields just down the road from me (although I think that's also gone now).

Outstanding work! -
Which means the English aren't even British! Might be a useful get out clause depending on how the Iceland match goes...

But that's nowhere near as funny...

Bloody glaciers, coming over here & mucking up our natural strata...

Blinkin' Anglo-Saxon flag?! Bloomin' Anglo-Saxon immigrants coming over here, displacing the Roman immigrants, who defeated the Celtic immigrants, who...

Hi all, not sure if this is entirely the appropriate place for this, but it is a question about 2mm of sorts... A rather large car repair bill, and the growing realisation that I'd have to live until at least 250 years of age to see all my modelling dreams come to fruition, has led me to consider clearing out the 'strategic reserve' a little - I have a variety of 2mm items on the list, including: Two 2mm SA BR 08 shunter kits; Two Edward Sissling LNER D49 kits: various Fence Houses loco and wagon kits: Barry Nicholson/Mick Simpson/Judith Edge/Worsley Works etched loco body kits; Masterclass/Stephen Harris wagon kits; plus a few other bits and bobs (motors, Union Mills tender drive units, etc.). I'll be putting a note up on the VAG shortly and ultimately they'll probably go on eBay, but if anyone here is interested, please drop me a message for more details. Everything is as new and unbuilt. Thanks for looking, Kevin

I started watching it & thought, "shame he can't work out a way to make the legs move"... Lo and behold! Very impressive stuff -
From my archaeology day-job, the typical make up of a roadway surface prior to the introduction of tarmacadam was usually finely-graded stone either mixed with mortar or packed with earth. Cobbles or sets are quite common, but mainly restricted to specific areas of heavy usage (be that in a farmyard or goods yard), as John says. I have an album of photos taken in Lincolnshire in the period you're after, & the majority of the surfaces look to be finely graded stone/stone & earth (or possibly just earth in the case of some of the more lightly used sidings, I suspect), although cobbles do appear from time to time. HTH, Kevin

Flying Scotsman back on the mainline - 2016

Notwithstanding all the other events of the day, did the forum software really auto-censor THAT?! -
I've always loved that photo of Torksey - full of interesting details & it was also where my Dad worked at the time :-) Lincoln's much changed now (sadly...) - St. Mark's has been a shopping centre for many years now (my first job as an archaeologist was excavating between the platforms adjacent to High Street in 1987 & we were back there in 1995 in advance of construction finally starting), and the coal depot site is currently being buried beneath a new road linking Tentercroft Street and Canwick Road/Pelham Bridge. I well remember the 'fish' boat on the Witham - I can't recall exactly what happened to it, but something tells me that it actually sunk... Kevin
