    Energy generation crisis? I think not. I just need to work out how to capture the potential of a Alan Gibson 4mm medium handrail knob escaping from tweezers

    what a rocknoll life. The first night of Glastonbog and I'm at home facing the decision j-72 or conflat tonight

      better than being up to your knees in mud. would love to see the Stones though

    Austerity modelling ago-go. In the spirit of the age of Jeffery Osborne, not the RA Riddles WD designs, its see what the fails box can provide to be cobbled together to provide viable projects. So far I"m down one J-72, but up another J-72 and hopefully a j-94 too when the frames turn up.

      frames now turned up plus three D&S kits I'd forgotten about. Now I"m torn. They're a little early for my period but very nice.... decisions decisions

  4. Steve Taylor

    in all the confusion... I've lost a set of j-94 frames. Though I have to admit I only remembered them when i found a set of wheels marked j-94

    Progress or regress? Re-imperial-ising some of the BR wagon diags (ta muchly Barrowmore ;) )

  6. Steve Taylor

    oh mince. I need 6 cattle wagons, two LMS and 4 GWR/BR jobbies. I have three part built LNER kits but none of the others. PANTS

      how about real creosote used in scale quantities?

    Yesterday: an interview and a bit of 4mm track bashing; today some 12":1' signal mangling.

  9. Steve Taylor
    I like how the bricks are keyed accurately round the corners. I'm looking at doing something similar for a signal box. Is there any chance of posting up a bit of the artwork so I can get an idea of what I should be aiming for? thanks for the update Steve

    soledring iron warmed up for the first time this year.

      Have you got a copy of " The art of soledring"?

    2. Steve Taylor

      Steve Taylor

      no, sadly I make do with "The art of soldering" and a keyboard that seems to misbehave.

      my apologies Mr Tan. I'm not in here as much as I used to be so must have missed that. Perhaps you could send out a pigeon with a newsletter?

      No, he's too busy poisoning pigeons in the park...

    mend a picture, build a jig. Mend a picture, build a jig. Mend a picture, build a jig. A day of website mangling and track panels methinks.

  13. Steve Taylor

    hmmm, a full time job would get me out from under my better half's feet...... where's the flipping job application form on the papal website?

    1. Horsetan

      I think God would have decided on your application in mysterious ways....

      plenty of room in the Vatican city for Broomielaw and the rest of the Stainmore route

      HT - I think he already has. I think my karma quota may be a bit out of balance at the moment.

      BM - I'm sure once I"ve finished Stooperdale to Belah I can find a spare room for you to store Kirkby Stephen if you need. Now everyone get praying 'cos I need a proper job and a proper sized railway room (err suite)

  14. Steve Taylor

    3 fishplates returned from the bossom of the carpet and promptly glued to the rail with the rest. The day can't all be bad.

  15. Steve Taylor

    I must apply myself to applying.

      Have you downloaded an application form from the interweb?

    ooh my ultrascale wheels have arrived. I might not have ordered them if I'd known 4 months ago that I would now be self-employed, but they are possibly even more sexier than the "50 shades of Brown" that was track prep earlier. Is it wrong to think nomnomnom about wheelsets?

    1. Jon020

      Jon020

      :-) not if they're ultrascales. As has been said before, they are as value holding as Gold should you ever wish to sell them on!

    2. Horsetan

      Horsetan

      I must get round to waiting six months for 6 driving wheels for the Princess.....

  17. Steve Taylor

    making painting track sexy - read "50 shades of brown"

      Would any place where this kind of modelling takes place have to be called a sh*g?

    its review time. Far too many unfinished things around here and not enough space.

    warning: sound from the process of re-spacing peco flexi track into NER 30'x11 sleeper panels may cause domestic friction. I can't vouch for other patterns though

      not given up on S4 I hope

    2. Steve Taylor

      certainly not, can't back down now... ultrascale have taken my dosh, but a quick photo diorama and experiment board was called for and if its good enough for some esteemed members of the national media then who am i to argue!

  21. Steve Taylor
    I can tell you through experience that coffee grounds certainly do go mouldy but don't know about tea specifically.
  22. Steve Taylor

    /me wonders if there are jobs available for designing application forms laid out coherently in plain english

  23. Steve Taylor

    D'oh!!! Twenty-four hours of prime heated drying time and only now have I found that PVA does not work with Knauf and exterior display foamboard

      Amendment..... evostick has been replaced by double sided carpet tape. One 625x500x60mm diorama board made. Weight (complete with underlay): 691g.

    diorama planning a-go-go

    neither me nor the person I am not are with me and none of us are surprised at all about how easy picture restoration from dodgy sixties transparencies is
