    3 measures gin, 1 measure vodka, 1/2 measure Lillet Blanc vermouth. Pour the gin, vodka and Lillet blanc into a cocktail shaker half-filled with cracked ice. Shake well, and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a large, thin slice of lemon peel, and serve.

    You know when you weather track with an airbrush,and you wipe the damp paint off with a cloth? Well, what if you don't wipe it, and it dries, and it is Vallejo Acrylic?

    Junk mail today included a reply paid envelope. Stuffed it to capacity with paper and card from the recycling bin and posted it off. Childish but VERY satisfying.

      That's a snag I've never considered. Driving the last train which ends up at the wrong end of the system for you! Oh buffer!

    1. johnb

      If you weather the track then ballast, then you have to weather the ballast!

      I do it in one hit, rusty on the track and then grot on the ballast!

    just a heads up on facebook there is someone claiming to be from Love productions [the people who make great British bake-off] posting in model railway groups wanting to enlist modellers in a project to build the worlds biggest model railway for TV, it makes no sense so you'll most likely spot it, no idea what their end goal is

    Feeling a bit lost on what to do with Leahurst Road. It is more-or-less complete with very little left to do and I'm happy with how it has turned out. Just what to do now? It is quite operationally limited and it can only have 3 trains on it at any one time.... What to do?

      You could sell it and recycle the cash into something that would suit your operstional needs rather better

      Some signals have a backlight and there is a 'blinder' to let the signalman know that the arm has moved
