    Got to have a sax player in a rock band. How else would you have had those great solos in Hazel O'Connors 'Will You' or Gerry Rafferty's 'Baker Street' http://youtu.be/lSIw09oqsYo Start the Hazel O'Connor video at about 2:40 if you just want to hear one of the best sax solos ever. http://youtu.be/InQxghlWMWM

    Yeah! You get to meet some interesting, friendly and helpful people in the world of model railways. Thank you.

    Not to sure but I believe in the opening few minutes of The Belles of St Trinians you can see a streamlined Castle at speed in the distance.

    It's half term and son of Highlandman has a few days to rest before the second onslaught of his GCSE' s. Will all be glad when it's over.

    I did have the same problem with uploading pictures to a reply. I could use the Choose Files button but was not able to insert them in to the text. So I tried different browsers and it worked (Firefox and Opera). It dawned on me that I had upgraded to IE 11 and that's when the problems started. All I did was uninstall it and revert to IE 10 and normal services resumed.

    Did you ever measure buildings and plan or has it always been a back of an envelope job. Incredible and amazing use of fire cement. I can't wait to see the finished buildings. And you're right, there is nothing like sitting by the sea eating a great bag of fish and chips. Hope you enjoyed them.

    Many congratulations on the Best Layout Cup, especially with such esteemed company. At a first glance I thought you'd got your hands on the FA Cup. A few more pictures.

    Can John make any animals or pirate hats with that thing? Good to see you at ExpoEm today and many thanks for letting me take some more pictures. Please feel free to use any that you want. Kind regards Andy

    Morning all. Southwest London, the sun's out, the birds are singing and all's well. Should be going along to ExpoEM today to pick up some supplies. Looking forward to maybe bumping into some RMwebbers.

    The Orange Army are still at it. Lots of remedial work still to be done. What a fantastic job they are still doing.

    Fantastic slide show on YouTube Allan. For someone who says they are not very computer savvy you've done a great job. It shows of your modelling skills to perfection. Looking at your last few posts it's a shame that we as modellers missed out on so many tips and how to's just because of one mans reticence to publish your work.

    Now I'm definitely going to have to come to Bracknell to re-photograph the Polybulks after seeing them in pristine condition at Epsom. Some really nice weathering there. A level for me to aim for.

    MFI, Made For Idiots. Now that brings back memories. Plastic wood grain, even more plastic chipboard and cheap hinges and screws. A free funny icon to the first person who comes up with a similar acronym for IKEA. [Edited for incorrect spellings, MUST TRY HARDER.]

    In shore fishing. Surprisingly close to the shore. Hope it's not the Spanish.

    Just read the booklet that came with Model Rail. Fantastic read with some great pictures. Models, guitars and cars. What ever next, will this man ever retire? I can only assume as a Mercedes Benz lover Allan is avidly watching this years F1 season while modelling.

      I thought it was just me not able to access all day, finished work at 10am as well, Grrr had to do more useful stuff instead....

    As always, some wonderful modelling. There appears to be a slight dogleg at the joint between this board and the old one. Is this just a photographic anomaly or is it something that needs to be sorted out with some track realignment?
  18. Highlandman
    Which suppliers blades would you recommend to use in a Stanley knife if you regards their own make as crap? How do YOU determine a good blade? And finally..........

    Just found these. The Polybulks The hidden postal coach And finally............ "Damn it!!! Where are we going to hold club meetings now?"

    Glad you and the wife like it Allan. It took some doing to find the right picture and get the lighting and perspective right. The rest was all up to good ol' Photoshop. Does look the part though. Don't it. All the best Andy

    A little bit of 'Downes' art. Maybe you should consider a gallery show.
  22. Highlandman

    Don't you just hate it when you take a picture of work you are doing and all it shows is the marks, errors and missed paint that you thought you had found.

      that happens all the time to me. I now use it to spot all the marks errors and missed paint!

    I thoroughly enjoyed Diesels in the Duchy at the recent Epsom show and hope to see it again at Expo EM. Meanwhile here are a few pictures I managed to take of this wonderful layout. And many thanks for taking the time to chat.

    I did not, in anyway, assume that hand cut was inferior, as I am in awe of the Masters skills. What I did mean was could time, repetitive strain injury and stress be reduced by having multiple parts already produced to use. The workmanship here is of the highest quality and something I can only aspire to. To own a Downes would be like owning a Cuneo or a Monet.

    Great work as always Gordon. Had you thought about using the building sheets from SE Finecast. They do a stone blocks one in 4mm and 7mm. Another range is Redutex. Produced in Spain and sold here by Model Texture UK or DCC Supplies
