      (For future reference, in Firefox, the Zoom control is in the so-called "hamburger menu" - the very top right corner of the window, underneath the "close" button). Click that, and Zoom should be one of the options.

      In most browsers on PC, if you press the Ctrl and 0 key at the same time it will reset the zoom. Hope that helps!

  8. Wishing I'd never done that research on brick bonds... drawing up even a basic brick hut and having to get the bond and layout just right...

    1. Skinnylinny

      Skinnylinny

      But nobody is telling me that it's wrong, and now I know what's right, I won't be happy if the finished model is obviously (to me) wrong!

  11. My promotion to a full Signalling Designer was confirmed today, so I'll start my new role on Monday!

  12. Regretting not putting boiler bands on the CAD for my LNWR 'Jubilee'... Lining out is proving to be a pain!

    1. Skinnylinny

      Skinnylinny

      I always find "moulded" boiler bands actually make lining the boiler lining harder because nothing sits flat...

  13. Just listened to the Final Speech from "The Great Dictator", quite possibly for the first time ever. Powerful stuff indeed.

  17. 95mm radius? No problem, just whip off the centre flanges.

    1. Skinnylinny

      Skinnylinny

      That worked for me to get a Farish pannier tank around 105mm radius curves. Good luck!

  18. That 4 part time jobs applied for.

      I quite like https://mynoise.net as a site too, though harder to blend them (you need several tabs open to get multiple noises) but a huge range of sound options.

  21. As long as there is injustice, whenever a Targathian baby cries out, wherever a distress signal sounds among the stars, we'll be there. This fine ship, this fine crew. Never give up... and never surrender.

  22. Got some lovely Gibson trailing wheels on a 2mm axle for my D1, but the bushings in the chassis kit (already fitted) are for 1/8" axles, and nobody else seems to do 18mm non-driving wheels.
