      Avoid discussing gauge though or it could go nuclear.

      How big will the model be? 2mm scale, 4mm scale, 7mm scale or Windscale?

      Don't bother.... Find an alternative. Perhaps we should power our layouts from exercise bikes... You pedal and the trains run, as seen on a kids display of LGB at an exhibition in Germany some years ago. Model railways as education.

  2. Just arrived for the blood donation session and been asked to wait outside for 10mins. It's flippin' cold!!

      Strange you should suggest that - I once made Y-Puds with a pancake mix & was laughed at for including sugar...

      I know I don't need/want one, it was the letter and situation that annoyed me. I used the 'Make a complaint' option to make my feelings known.

      The thread started in January has suddenl taken off, sprouting about 3 pages of entries in the last 48 hours. I bet the apparent interest will not be matched by entries. Cynic.. Moi?

      Wall papering is like like covering card in printed brick-paper, only on a bigger scale... Similar skills needed too.

      Could've sworn that read as 'strategically' grassing. Not sure how that would work mind!

      Stubby47

      Jam, that's when you only put the grass where viewers will see it (so not all over SWMBO's best carpet !)

      Statically grassing: Standing still and going over the same plot with lawn mower again and again while mind drifts to modelling projects ? :-)

      Joking aside, I'm sure it'll work out well.

       

      It'll probably need to, after one mag "for the average enthusiast" did a similar theme to death some years back.

      I cant give blood anymore, which is a shame as I am O-, Here they dont want it because of mad cow disease, and when in UK they dont want it because I have been here.
