    Dilemma!!! Fixing down 4mm Scale Track... or Reading the O Gauge Gazette that has just flopped through the letterbox...

    Lovely day to wait for the RAC... apparently they're on a four hour wait at the moment. Glad I'm indoors with a dead car rather than sitting in it in the middle of nowhere.

    This is Madness! I have lost a length of track from lifting it for cork to be laid - to relaying it in position after.

      No I've decided that following others problems with the mystical wormhole. To leave it until morning - Just put the kettle on instead. :-D

      I wouldn't mind... but its a scale 150' long. :D

      Agreed - I'd love to be hanging out of the window on the Bluebell. You know its a good day when your wiping soot smuts out of your eyes ;-)

    wishes Ebay postage wasn't so expensive, when the postage is almost as much as the item, and you can walk into a shop and buy it for the same or less price, it's hardly a bargain any more is it?

    1. Matloughe

      Matloughe

      Agreed - when I sell stuff on eBay I always use the kitchen scales to get the weight of the item. Then check with Royal Mail for the postage cost. I never charge through the nose for postage.

      Sadly its a case of unscrupulous individuals and naked profiteering sadly.

    Potentially had a conversation with the resident Ghost of the house... spooky.

    Thinking of starting a new modelling scale, 2:1 scale. Only real modellers attempt a double size loco on a 2870mm gauge!

    1. Matloughe

      At least there is ready to run track for 2' 3" Narrow Gauge Trains in 2:1 scale... well its a little wide and got too many sleepers but who will notice...?

    my girlfriend says she trusts RM Web more than Private Eye... success!

    After some disappointment I consoled myself by purchasing a Beattie Well Tank from Kernow. Can't wait for it to arrive! :D

    I have OO and N gauge trains, yet I still look longingly at O gauge, even though I don't have the money or space for such a venture.

    1. Matloughe

      Perhaps do what I did buy a wagon kit and give it a go. If you like it you can go on further and if not then its not much outlay and I am sure you could sell the kit onwards.

      At risk of continuing to be off topic - I shall have an investigation. Cheers Worsdell.

      Not this again. :D

       

      Yep S&D is Stockton & Darlington, the acronym however is better known for the Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway. Say S&D to nearly most people and you'll get the Somerset response. :D

      I wonder if 'Southern' locos ran over the Stockton & Darlington line...

    Armchair Modellers - they also serve who sit and debate...

    1. Matloughe

      Matloughe

      I think we need to define 'Armchair' for example my desk chair has arms & wheels and I sit in it do do some modelling - does that make me an Armchair Modeller...?

    New wagon kit arrived... do I write Christmas Cards or get stuck into the kit... decisions.

    1. Matloughe

      Matloughe

    How does one respond to a chargeback dispute on PayPal? Some guy is saying he never recieved an item... yet left me good feed back that says 'recieved in good order' - For Pity's Sake!!!

      Yes the issue is that the transaction was in September and I no-longer have the postage details.

    Starting an interim project... currently sketching a 1869 coach drawing into 7mm scale... Any tips for a possible scratch building adventure?

    Track laying or Building construction, decisions, decisions!

  25. Matloughe

    While everyone else is at Warley - I am marking out and cutting the track, trying to be clever and arrance the cuts to coincide with the baseboard join... I already need an additional Yard of track.
