    An interesting start. Any West Highland layout is a welcome sight.

    I don’t like the way the back scene just rises up with no attempt to hide the join/transition.

    Only you can decide if you want to redo that section or can live with it. You won’t be the first or the last to ‘go back to the drawing board and felt happier with the result. I’m not sure how long it would take to redo but it will be a relatively short time compared to how long you will be bugged by it if you don’t.

    I know it’s how things have to be and I’m just being picky, but that nose just doesn’t look right at all. Now that they are going I will probably wish I could see even them before too long.

    That stamp is a swine to wash off though. Actually it might save me the entrance fee next year.

    You detail the bathrooms on your models. Kudos. I bet Noch do suitable figures.

    I’m sitting in a hotel in Glasgow ready to go off to Model Rail Scotland tomorrow when I checked my e-mails and saw this. Sad. Poignant. Touching. Appropriate. All of those and more - but typical of the personal way in which Hattons have dealt with their customers over all of these years.

    Whatever book you use the answer is still 42.

    That’s not rocket science … just basic map reading skills.

    I would need to be 7ft 8in.

    It becomes a model railway when it isn’t a 6x4 (or similarly proportioned) baseboard (in 00) with a double oval in each direction and as much extra track fitted in as possible.

    They all come with custom weathering too.

    When people quote that “it’s not rocket science”, they forget that, in the main, rocket science isn’t that difficult. It’s the rocket engineering that can be challenging.

    Apologies for the unforgivable tardiness, but I see that the whelkmen’s press officer has returned. A most welcome development.

    If you know the particular type of wagon you are looking for you could try searching Paul Bartlett’s excellent site. https://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/brsealion Edit: Sorry - just realised that this was posted in London Underground section and so you are probably referring to a very specific wagon.

    Nope, history got it all wrong. They were the first to use sponges to wipe their soldiering irons.

    That looks fantastic, Paul. Is it the product of the silhouette cutter?

    I suppose it depends on the girth of the operators - aesthetically pleasing or otherwise. Me? I’d need shortened gardens, houses truncated and a wider walkway anyway. Hope this helps.

    Rugby Union

    Long gone are the days when the interest was such that the Scottish rugby results were read out every Saturday on Grandstand. Or was that just Bill McClaren’s influence?

    … and unfortunately there’s a lot more of such crap to come.

    … and when his chickens escaped it was just poultry in motion.

    Arrangements made, various advanced tickets bought, and I will, fingers crossed, be heading up for the weekend. ASLEF willing. Given that a certain rugby match will be taking place that weekend it wouldn’t surprise me if they took the opportunity to disrupt.

    I have found through much trial, error, angst and even more error, that the painting of the bottom has a far more greater effect on the final appearance than whatever is layered on the top. Something to practice first?

    Rugby Union

    BoD replied to tigerburnie's topic in Wheeltappers

    I like the quotes made by Nigel Owens when calling together the two front rows for a ‘lecture’. (Best said/read with his Welsh accent) ’If you don’t like scrummaging you are in the wrong position. Let’s just get on with it’. and ’Do it properly or we’ll get somebody else on who can’. Opinions on his level of ‘input’ into a game vary but I think those two are classics.

    I once phoned Gamblers’ Anonymous and they said ‘Would you like to hold’.
