  1. There's something Southern this body definitely doesn't want! - Spawned in the USA, eurgh! I'm still getting over how good looking the DJ Models O2 is. Glenn
  2. Information announcement: For those under a certain age: Baby Belling is not the practice of ringing church bells by hitting them with young children.
  3. Have you just quoted Spandau Ballet lyrics? ... I am sorely disappointed in you. Cricket, Pork Pies, 3rd Rate 80s bands!
  4. I love the way this thread just goes off at tangent after tangent, at the moment it's all about Pork Pies, Cricket, oh, and something to do with the Great Western: Churchward's Star Class 4-6-0s. Mad! Keep up the randomness! Glenn - darn saaf
  5. Like the moulded fox on Silver Fox, not 100% sure about the valance shape, especially between bufferbeam and cylinder; but I could well be wrong. However that tender behind 2512 is all wrong, sorry. Glenn - I really ought to get out more
  6. The Hornby Colletts are coming out in shirtbutton livery next year, excellent! It's good to be green, but this SR modeller has weakness for chocolate and cream, well, why not? Glenn
  7. Masking tape removes varnish from expensive coach. That's it, end of tether reached! Stuff modelling I'm going back on the beer

      Pour me one the day I'm having modeling I think I'll join you as the project I'm working on is fighting me back today

      are you using the Tamiya low stick stuff? Its very good, and shouldn't remove anything as long as it's properly dried.

      It's Tamiya alright, never had any problem with it before, so I think I'll blame the guy who varnished the coach (not me btw!)

  8. A West Country in its full SR malachite glory hauling some GWR Chocolate and Cream stock reminiscent of those inter-regional trains over both routes between Exeter and Plymouth. 21C145 Ottery 'Santa' Mary, perhaps? I'll get my coat (again)
  9. I think Mr Bachmann does all the hard work, I just sling some mud at the models and hope for the best ... damn, I've given the game away! Glenn - it's damn windy darn saaf
  10. It is indeed Coach ... and if I ever get around to building a 'proper' layout, I'm sure to forget all about this feature ... ... one day!
  11. Shhh, listen, I can hear a train coming ... ... or is it just the wind blowing across the prairie (see what I did there!), I'll get my coat.
  12. They were never blue, always black - there's a joke in there somewhere, I'm sure ... ... anyway, Ivo-ways liked them !!! I'll get my coat
  13. I've got two S15s and it don't look like either of them! ... on the other hand, a Crab ... ... I actually saw one the other day on a trip to Alton (to the Model Shop), amazed me really, the number of times I go past the Mid-Hants Railway and see b£gger all and then I see a Crab on a train on the way into Alton and another train went over the Butts Viaduct on the way out of the place (loco unseen).
  14. ... could be ... but probably not ... I'm not really that bothered, but it takes my mind away from a very boring online course I've been made to do. Glenn Big clunky connecting rod secured by a small screw
  15. I don't doubt that. You've successfully captured the feel of these big 4-6-0s towards the end of their careers; unkempt but competent to do the job (blimey, I'm a poet!).
