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?

Accuracy or aesthetically pleasing?
BoD replied to Dagworth's topic in Modelling Questions, Help and Tips
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. -
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? -
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’.

Or anyone else as good as Joe Marler at winding up the opposition. I can’t remember how long ago I first saw him doing it but, gosh, he was and still is a master at it.

Which game were you watching in Paris? 😉 More seriously though, that passage of play where the ball was kicked from 22 to 22 and back again seemed to go on for ever. I know that, sadly, it is part of the game these days but today’s instalment was just silly.

That really looks the part. Have you converted to all dcc or will the tortoise points remain electro mechanical. I need to investigate the DCC concepts stuff. Currently I run everything through accessory decoders via a computer. Not a switch, stud and probe or push button in sight. I do really fancy a lever frame like that though,

I see Bachmann has announced more Mk1 TSOs in blue/grey. Hooray!!!! End steps removed where appropriate. Hooray!!! Bogies fitted with electrical pickups. Maybe useful. Extra drag ? Optional version with fitted passengers. £10 extra. Jury’s out. The prices though. Ouch!!!!!! -
I’m sure that he will join the waiting lists along with thousands of others.

Where? Who? I don't recall many tipping England.

If I thought Friday night’s game was going to be the grand slam decider, I’’m now thinking that England v Italy probably decided the wooden spoon.

I always knew that vacuum brakes would make a comeback.

Would it be fair to say the the grand slam decider was the very first game of the competition?
