When Will I see You Again-  Three Degrees

Hi Dave, will S&W fit any make of rolling stock?  I am running Parkside Dundas hopper wagons and Hornby and Bachmann brake vans.

Thanks

Michael

I use a pin vice with a very small drill bit, drill through the sleeper between the rails and push pin through with a pin pusher, no need for hammering.

By the time the track and sleepers are weathered the pins a barely noticeable.

Hi John,

Excellent work on the signals, a big improvement on the out of the box jobs, you mentioned using 'Solartrim' I don't know if you know but there is a product on the market called 'Trimline' by 'Model Technics' it comes in a variety of colours and I think there is about ten different widths of pin stripe on each roll.

If anyone is thinking carrying out the same mods as you it might be worth having a look at 'Trimline', it might save the need for the double bladed knife.

The standard of modelling is excellent!

I like the idea I'm after sounds of birds and workshop machinery so I'll watch this post with interest

For workshop and other sounds have a look here

Many thanks, great idea!

As part of a car park and access road is there any way to hide or disguise any joins there might be by using 'Metcalfe Tarmacadam Sheets'

Thanks in advance

A friend of mine died because of indigestion, I cant believe Gav is gone!

I think Plastic Magic is very similar to 'Plastic Weld' and 'Liquid Poly Cement' etc, 

I never had a problem with the glue coming into contact with the glazing because I used the pin flow applicator but I think the glue would cause a problem if the glazing got any glue on it.

I am using the same glue to build up wagon kits and it seems to have a sort of melting effect on the plastic joints so I would play it safe, the pin flow applicator is ideal for glueing glazing bars, window frames etc onto the glazing.

Plastic Magic sets really fast allowing quick progress of building models.

I'm sure other members will be far better qualified than me to comment on other adhesives that might be used for your project if you are concerned.

Hi sorry for the late reply, the glue I used was 'Plastic Magic' applied with a pin flow applicator both from 'Deluxe Materials'

Michael

Excellent work.

Michael

Not purchased from them for a while now but I have always found Digitrains staff very helpful and pleasant and give good advice as well as an excellent mail order service.

Hi Shaun,

Thank you very much for the kind words, yes it is 4mm and you're right about the camera showing up things that wouldn't normally be seen.

It's guy's like yourself and other scratch builders on here that gives us beginners the inspiration to have a go at scratch building and to try to produce some buildings that are somewhere close to the excellent work that has been produced here by you guy's.

Michael

Great work so far Carl, following this with interest and looking forward to more.

Michael

Excellent work there, I enjoyed looking at the build photos, well done!
