    found some slates in the alley behind the house, a fair few doors down so they ain't from my roof, the are however in my back yard! They'll be going in FR slate waggons at some point! Mega score!

      If that is blue/green that will be Coniston/Kirby slate, but if it's the purple/black it will be the Welsh F.R.

      thanks for that, I think it's more a grey/blue than anything, but it certainly needs a wash, and leaving it in the back yard should sort that out once it rains!

    hmmmmm, can I get spratt & winkles around 3rd radius curves? they don't need to be shunted, just pulled

      If you're just pulling then perhaps use 3 links?

      A question for the help threads?. Strangely there does not seem to be section in Skills or Special Interests relating to couplings.

      The idea would be to have the curves between layout and fiddle yard, but to use s&w for shunting ease once on the main layout, more testing methinks!

  3. JaymzHatstand

    Noooo! I just got Whitborough out for a bit of shunting fun and the backscene has developed bubbles and creases in it!

      The thing is, it's been on there and fine for about six months, and it was ok a week or so ago, all of a sudden it's got mumps!

      could it be change in weather, been a bit damp here,damp/heating put on ?

    4. JaymzHatstand

      JaymzHatstand

      Aye, it could be the heating coming on, not sure how I can remedy it though!

  4. JaymzHatstand

    went over to the darksi8de yesterday and bought a GW china clay wagon, at least it'll be in BR livery though, so I won't feel like I'm betraying myself too much!

  5. JaymzHatstand

    is up silly early (Warley excitement?!) and will be checking for Andy Y's announcemnt when I'm on't train to Brum!

  6. JaymzHatstand

    has done a bit of weathering and added some real coal to my Jinty and 57xx

    They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them.

  8. JaymzHatstand

    Has actually stuck some bits of wood together for Scrayingham's new fiddle yard, about bleeding time!

  9. JaymzHatstand

    saw the 37s arrive at York, very smart indeed! photos are on Twitter @jaymz_hatstand

      Now if I had nicked it when I had a chance it would still be ok...

      If only I knew you were only doing me a service!

  13. JaymzHatstand

    did some more soldering while watching the F1 this morning, and have now ordered train tickets for Warley, productive day!

  14. JaymzHatstand

    has been playing with some Worsley Works 009 'scratch aid' FR carriages (21 & 106 if you're interested!)

  15. JaymzHatstand

    back from North Wales, three railways done and now a wedding to plan too!

  16. JaymzHatstand

    is off to North Wales today, so having a week off from actual modelling, however there is a trip on the full WHR on the horizon, so more inspiration will no doubt be flooding forth!

      Weather is a bit welsh at the moment so I hope it clears up for you. Nothing worse than dowdy light up in the mountains.

  17. JaymzHatstand

    plenty of inspiration at MR Live yesterday, and some nice long chats with some of the magazine team. oh, and I got George to sign my coipy of his book!

  18. JaymzHatstand

    the ONLY good thing about the over comercialisation of a certain winter religious festival is the arrival of mince pies in the shops this early, yummy!

  19. JaymzHatstand

    has actually made a start on an 009 photo plank, will blog it once there's more to show than a small bit of board!

  20. JaymzHatstand

    now has a pen and some white ink for numbering wagons, awesome!

    loves the smell of solder in the mornin!

  23. JaymzHatstand

    has made a start on the new control panel for Scrayingham, this one will be mounted on the layout rather than separate, so, fingers crossed will be less fragile!

  24. JaymzHatstand

    has made a start on the Ratio MR suburban coach he picked up for 2 quid! need to find some details on the interior though

  25. JaymzHatstand

    liking the new layout (pun intended) especially that it works better and quicker on my blackberry, break times at work just got more interesting!
