Thanks for that Lofty. At the end of the day so long as it works, it doesn't matter how scientific or unscientific it is......if it works is all that matters :declare: Khris

Lofty, Any chance of a pic? Khris

Simply beautiful work ! Khris

Coach, Thanks for the explanation of your weathering! Looks superb! khris

These older bodies can certainly be made to scrub up well. :declare: I like I suspect a lot of other have missed these updates Khris

Now Coach, If you want to do more MAJOR scenic work.....do it on the fiddleyard side NOT on Carrog side! This has really come together well and looks BRILLIANT! Khris

Apologies...didn't realise you were talking of one you had already paid for! Khris

There has been a bit of CC stuff on ebay of late! Khris

To add to Chris P Bacon's comments: He was also contacted with offers of help by Andy Y from here. One can only assume that you haven't read the whole thread! Khris

Scott, What you do is turn the couch over, pull the staples out of calico, and then pull your mojo out then restaple calico! Khris

On the issue of diseasels.....The Sulzer type 2 when did they actually come in , in the UK? Khris

.Sorry Clive....That WAS NOT the intent of the post....it was just something I noticed with younger modellers. Khris

No train spotters present.....Further up: only a couple of guys taking numbers who were not young. 50 years ago you were watching steam. With that the motion's of the loco's turning, the steam hissing, the smoke wafting, All this is of interest to young and impressionable lads like us, and is to kids of today WHEN they get to see it! What is there today, a bit of noise and the train moves off. What interest is there to the young and impressionable boys of today? You are fortunate in the UK with the number of preserved railways you have there, but it is still not enough for boys to see everyday and get the the thrill in their blood of watching a loco working! In the modelling scene, it seems to me that those who model the diseasel era, don't seem to hang on to their loco's, like those who model the steam era. I could be wrong but it is just an observation I have mad in recent years. Maybe it is the changing logo's......who knows! Khris

Allan, Don't forget the sheep shaggers...Kiwis have had at least one today as well! Khris

Yes and No. It wasn't a blog but a build on here. The last image was the scene I was thinking of. He showed how it was done etc. Khris

There is a thread on this board by Chris Nevard on a layout he did using that method. Hopefully someone will remember the name it as my brain is hopeless! Khris

Well let's hope that "IF" Coach gets the urge to redo Greenfields, that he builds ANOTHER shed so Carrog doesn't get destroyed! Khris

Dave...see edit As for the rest we will go around in circles. And not for the first time. Khris

Well Chris P Bacon, Correct me if I am wrong, but was it not one of the issues that there are mistakes through the mag. Don't get your knickers in a knot. I said it didn't help Jerry's argument. Get over it or are you feeling so maligned by the complaints. Khris

Jerry, It is "HIS" opinion. Like it or not he expressed it. He felt it was constructive...you don't. Khris

Don't recall saying anything about "FREE" speech...I said express an opinion. Just think Jerry was a bit over the top with his reply, and like I said one of the issues was mistakes and his response had a mistake. Read into that what you will! Khris

It doesn't help your argument reading this response and the error! I would have thought people had a right to express their opinion whether you like it or not. Khris

Big Trees and full length trains.....nothing better. Just unfortunate that a lot of modellers in the UK do not have the space to be able to do this. Khris

Sorry Coach but every time I look at it, it drags my eye to it (Y) khris

When are you going to cut that thingy off Coach?? Khris
