  11. Hi Gordon yes you get three lengths of Peco 16mm track and a bag of hard plastic sleepers which have to be threaded onto the track and the plastic is a very tight fit on the track ! worth it in the end tho !
  12. Track now threaded ,thumbs in recovery mode !!!...hopefully wont need any more straights !..thanks for the idea of olive oil Kev !
  13. Just stumbled on this thread ,must say its inspiring ! I am meandering towards doing a coarse scale branch when energy and time allow so will keep watching this thread with interest ! Thanks for sharing Annie ! in the meantime more Maldon track to thread...sigh!
  14. just got some of this and there seems to be plenty of glue and iron filings but not much developer (blue corrosive stuff) anyone know what it is and if its available separately didn't want to buy lots more filings and glue just to get more developer!
  15. I remember seeing a picture of an NBL 600xx warship at Pantyfynnon and the comment was they had been transferred in lieu of 37s, which had been reallocated elesewhere, anyone know if they were ever used down here on any workings?? or quickly returned whence they came?...merv

  21. Now that the cat is out of the bag I can see that those lucky people" Dahn sarf "have got a nice Adams radial to look forward to! wonder if there is going to be a Brecon and Merthyr Liveried one ???
