I have a good fwend in Wome, "Bigus Dickus".

Should have been called the WCML relief railway, from the start, the mere mention of high speed, rings up pound note signs, before you even begin the project.

Cut the card into individual slabs?

I have taken a screenshot of the above drawing and put it into CAD and based on the Ken Hoole 61ft 4 ins dimension of the span, I get a ballpark figure of 57 ft to the pinicle of the centre span.

There are parts of an Exmouth Junction cast concrete platform at Cranmore West on the ESR. It's partially sitting on concrete blocks rather than the original cast parts.

So who would be the top slot actor, Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee or Donald Pleasance?

I prefer to travel between Brum and Lundun on Chiltern, it tends to be less crowded. It may be a bit slower but it seems to be more relaxed.

Have you made a sacrifice to the carpet god?

I have found these kits to be a right pain in the proverbial, to get right, I have three on the go and they have all been dunked into the boiled water at least once. Getting sufficient gap between the bunker and the cab has been one of the biggest problems, that I have encountered.

Rubbish ballasting, too much on the left of the turnout, not enough on the right and a few bald patches in the four foot.

A spell on the naughty step is required, young man.

The Arms Park, that takes me back a bit! How many names has it had, since they knocked it down and rebuilt it?

I'd buy the litre and decant it into a small jar and store the rest in a dark cool space, I use a beer fridge. Over time, you will find plenty of uses for it. I bought 2.5 litres of Dichloromethane (Plastic Weld) for track building and I keep that in the cupboard under the stairs, I've had that for around 12 years or so now.
