    It was adding the Fairy Liquid to the PVA which caused the problem. Didn't have any IPA at home but tried a little vodka. Result!

    Will try that next time, I've got a couple of bottles

    Do you spray neat IPA or diluted? Resisting jokes about India Pale Ale

    I've just tried to complete some ballasting, laid ballast, wet with water spray with a drop of Fairy Liquid(other detergents are available), then used Wilko PVA diluted 50/50 with water through syringe with needle. As soon as pva touches water it sets like a gel. To test it I added some fairy liquid to PVA it sets like goo (Think bad snot). Has anyone else noticed this? Is it just fairy liquid? I've used thus technique for years and not had thus problem. Any recommendations?

    How big is the base of a Semaphore Signal? I have a Dapol GWR Home signal in 4mm but the Base plate seems massive. Ive looked for some photographic evidence but all I can see are the signals themselves not a base. I would think it would depend on the size of the post, but, wonder wether I should trim it down a tad? Thanks

    A rather poor photo of the rear of my Signal Cabin

    I am building a 4mm model of Llanfyllin Terminus. I have Loco and Rolling Stock from both GWR and BR. What I was wondering was, What if it didnt close? What would be the likely DMU or Railcar that would be based at Oswestry to service the branch?

    Not really a new member, I've just been away for a while. I first joined when there were less than a 1000 members. I have watched RMWEB grow from an idea by Andy York through several upgrades to its present incarnation. Good to be back
  9. Isambard Kingdom Brunel
    Ive enjoyed RMWEB since its first incarnation when there were only a few hundred members, it has changed a lot since then, for the better, I may add. I am sure if we were to change the forum back to its early format there would be complaints about functionality etc. Accept the reasons given for change, they don't do it for fun

    I have a Hornby Class 47 and want to replace the Buffers Looking at the Wizard Models site there are either short or long versions of the Oleo Buffers. Which would be the correct one?
  11. Isambard Kingdom Brunel

  12. Isambard Kingdom Brunel

Thanks

    I recently purchased a Class 47 Rail Rider which has been converted to P4. Sadly the pickups are not very good. I have dismantled it so that i can take the bogies out of the floor pan, but, cant see how to dusmantle the bogies or remove the keeper plate. Can anyone help? I have downloaded the instructions but cant see it.

    Yoi could have watched the Little Railway on Channel 4 + 1 if you dont have a recording facility or catch up TV

    I wear varifocal and used the 3d glasses without them, i was really impressed with the quality of the photos, i only needed to put my proper glasses on to read captions. Couldnt do that with 3d ones on as well. That is not a criticism merely an observation. Think the best two photos are Ducks Stores and The Tiler, I dont think the photo of theClass 4300 works, but, that could be my eyesight. I think BRM should be congratulated for an ambitious idea.

    I have read somewhere about a guy who advocates using coloured pencils to add colour or weather plasticard buildings. I have just tried and it is incredible so much easier than dry brushing. Where can i find out more details? I have tried googling but cannot find anything

    Just a quick heads up, according to Wigan Athlwtic Web site, they are due to play Walsall at home at 15.00 on Satutday 30th September. This means there will be parking restrictions. As always i am looking firward to coming over from Skelmersdale

    Can I ask a question relating to The Baseboard Competition? When I go to the address: www.moedl-rail.co.uk/model-rail-competition it had a competition to win a Dynamis Ultima which I believe was from last months issue. There did not seem to be a link to a competition for a baseboard or books?

    I have not been able to go for the last few years because of my wifes illness. Please could you put my name down, I would really love to be able to finally go on your tour
  23. Isambard Kingdom Brunel
    These are awesome. I am trying to produce the same in 4mm, but, in GWR Livery for my Llanfylin layout, I am building them from the Comet range. I would be interested in details of your range as I will eventually need another set in Maroon

    Would love to get a copy of this photo without the crease (centrefold!), does anyone know if the photos of H.F. Wheeler are available to purchase from anyone, I have tried googling to no avail
  25. Isambard Kingdom Brunel
    I also need something like this for my B Set for the Llanfyllin Branch Both photos are taken from GWR Journal 61 from Wild Swan Publications and are credited to H.F. Wheeler I believe there were 2 sets on marked Llanfyllin, Llanymynech and Oswestry Branch No 1 and the other No 2 Would appreciate any help in acquiring a set of these transfers. I assume there would be one on the brake end of each coach
