      Funnily enough rich I was also washing my hair after they repaired the boiler.

      LoL - then don't share it then (re washing my hair)

    is pondering seperating out a workbench 'topic' from the blog, which was really meant be about the layout. Should it be in Forum: Layout and Workbench Content, Group: 2mm Finescale, or as a separate Blog.

    Is very excited to have a footplate ticket for the 11am departure from Alresford tomorrow.

      Post some pictures for us? All I have is an 8.15 start on the platform at Staverton!

    Isn't the point of an RSU that I can use it with one hand ;-)

      Yes the RSU can be used with one hand, you still need the other 3 to hold everything in the right place!!!!

      Only if you have a footswitch. Otherwise you need two hands. The procedure is -- 1. apply electrode to parts firmly. 2. switch on current. 3. switch off current. 4. wait a second. 5. remove electrode.

      I made it with a foot switch.

    It's a very slippery slope. Today, in between watching Olympics and doing chores I've been scouring the Internet for reasonably priced 150s. :-/

      Any particular livery, Rich? I've always liked Centro!

      Regional railways. They're what I travelled on as a kid.

      I have a 156 and now both a 150/1 and 150/2 on their way.

    It's good to be back at the modelling bench, if only for a short time.

      Hope to see some blog entries soon then Rich :D

    Just finished what will possibly the last paint spraying I'll manage this year.

    just found the little arrow centrally in the footer at the bottom of every page of the site. That will save a lot of time scrolling, especially when on the iPad.

    Lapped up the exceptionally well themed MI4.

      Me too, all very inspirational and great pictures.

    Layout rewire almost complete. Just the crossing switches to wire once the TOUs are linked up.

    Likes the 'go to first unread' doesn't like that followed content does not appear where it used to (top right) and I have to click through to it and filter. Swings and roundabouts.

      I agree and further more the followed content filter does not seem to work anyway.

    Lined an MR OCT last night. Not sure whether the ends should have lining too, whether I should have left it all off, or if I should be sectioned?

      Ruddy Darter last night, OP tonight to go with Fish & Chips.

    Lots of 2mm/N blog content to read today. Thanks guys!

    Made further progress on Mathieson wagons yesterday. Not what I planned to do, but productive nonetheless.

      Patience people: they still need their loads finishing and the under frames need more work. I might have to buy some powders. On a related note why do GW washes smell like sick?

      Pete, I have my next blog entry part written but it's really not for the feint hearted - it involves easitrac switch butchery.

    Managed to assemble the lower footboards for 5 horseboxes while cooking dinner this evening. Now that is what I call multi-tasking!

  17. richbrummitt

    Mass bogie manufacture update - still on the brake etches.

    mixed day I managed to drop a model from the paint bench into the patio (ouch) but have managed to make and fit a half dozen couplings without feeding links to the carpet monster

    mojo still in full flow

      Phil,

       

      I think it's a dangerous (but not life-threatening) condition where you feel the need to build the contents of your gloat box....

      @2mmAndy: 'Build the contents of my gloat box'?? You think I'm crazy? ;-)

      richbrummitt

      Andy, You won't have to wait that long, though I hope to have a couple of things finished especially for such a wondrous occasion.

      Phil, It's different to a mogo. Whilst I haven't had to go digging in the gloat box(es) or cupboard stash I am clearing real estate previously occupied by a collection of stuff that has been started and left.

      Jerry, You have to make your own call whether pets are permissible but I'm not sure full flow would be desirable for an animal, o...

    more power, another partial rewire, more wood, more glue, more solder... ...when will this be done and allow scemics to commence properly?

    Much less snow around today. Better for a trip to the Palace

      No snow here in Cornwall. Indeed, no snow yet this whole winter! Balmy Kernow, I call it. :-)

  23. richbrummitt

    must get off here and do some model making

      I used to get higher figures before I returned to petrol. The book figure combined for this car is 47mpg so I'm doing okay :-)

      They don't much care on car forums either. Been there, done that.
