The sin that you have confessed to is great. Too many years have passed before you to came to the true religion. Your penance is to follow the true path of the copper top. You will have to show real dedication to this path with many further purchases and paint your railway buildings in the appropriate light stone and dark stone colours. 

I'm sure there are plenty of priests tucked away on this Forum who will happily grant you absolution.  And as penance you simply have to buy them one as well.   

Nowt wrong wit’ pannier!

Looked the quote up, it does seem very appropriate :-)

Water-most abundant liquid on planet

Meths-I dont even know if I can get it easily in the USA

Waterslide + special fluids can be pretty good but you need to get good uns, CCTUK for example.

I have this strange objection to transfers that crease up when varnished. And the "invisible" backing film that isn't? Sorry, Methfix will always be the Rolls Royce for me, these things are the bloody Ford Anglia. I only hope I can hide the mess under weathering.

Snap, I was looking at the weathered stone....

Haven’t watched it yet, but good to know that there is something to look forward to!

Is he prepared to loan you some wheels and buffers for a couple of weeks then?

Whatever became of the Access credit card?

Access, now Mastercard.

Sarcasm?

Does she have a sister?

:-)

Yes 2

But they both hate the smell

... or try card?

Plank by plank would be impressive!

A month is too soon, Londontram! Let us be realistic with our timescales....[sigh]

I have seen an s scale coach having a planked roof applied, impressive indeed but whether it was ever finished...

Look on the bright side - you could have made it brickbuilt.

Look on the bright side 2: at least it's not 1:1 scale.

What kind of gear did you have in mind?

One that works, as opposed to one that idles.

I keep doing that, which is annoying, as I've built the baseboards.

The cattle wagons, that is. They've been sleeping quietly in their drawer for some time now.

Never look a gift horse in the mouth.....

Forward it to me please

Sadly your to late. The FR (Furness Railway) seems to have been deleted back in 1922

At least your shirt will be weather-resistant. Cuprinol, was it?

No, picture varnish.

Look at it this way. It'll look picture perfect forever now!

It is the rivets wot dun it.

Yes, I fell foul of that one too.

I have got them on at last and reasonably aligned. Now I have left them to dry out thoroughly so I can protect the things with varnish. And once that varnish has dried, I can breathe again!

Making up Shackles for Conflat L's.?

painting indivdual brick or bits of ballast

I agree with these guys - if you rush a decision like that, you're likely to regret it.

Far better to put the stuff away for a few months - especially whichever model(s) might be giving you grief - and look at it again in a few months' time.

Thanks guys. I hope it is a passing mood, but it's been with me a good week this time.

Life can get dark sometimes, I should know. But don't let that destroy your hobby, even if it means packing it up into boxes for a while.

Ambis do fine chain but don't know where its sourced.

Unfortunately 'free trade' is killing jobs in this country (4.7m tons of steel a year imported rom the EU whilst our steelworks are closing).

Still it was a good show.

A nice feeling, eh?

Yep. Now I can build wagons with springing without sweating about it.

No, a very expensive loco, of a certain foreign company. Love the loco, but have no realistic use for it.

Not Austrian Sudbahn?

No, 'foreign' as in Great Western.
