Now i know who you are!

 

I spent much time experiementing with colour pigments to add to the resin to get what I would call "Quaffable Colour".

 

Man if I spent as much time in CAD as making silly QC references, I might actually get something done :D

 

Time for bed....

More variables.

I found this in a hotel in Scotland last year...  Chilli Chocolate Vodka Martini.  Probably not suitable for sheds..!

Don't rule it out.

Keep this for consideration, just in case we end up with a topic for drinking on the job. It may be the subject of future scientific investigation, so that we can get to the bottom of this phenomenon.

Hi.
Sorry to drag the topic away from posh alcoholic drinks and back to finescale trackwork. 
just tried to order a couple of OO point kits and got a message saying out of stock due to waiting for a delivery of bullhead rail. Any rough idea of when the kits will be available to order again? 
kind regards. 
Bill.

Hi Wayne. 
thanks for the update. I was hoping to have a go at building these at a club workshop day on Saturday but hey ho. 
I’ll keep an eye on the website next week. 
Kind regards. 
Bill.

One an hour, with time for a cup of tea and a slice of cake.

Lemon Drizzle.

I would have to go for a circular cake…… Now would it be a 1 in 5 slice or a 1 in 7 slice….."

 

Getting back to the subject. Yes even a ham fisted modeller can complete one of these in under an hour as I have managed to do. Wayne when are the A5 coming out.

Having finally finished the Hornby HST conversion and load tested today, separate thread under modifying and detailing RTR stock, my next project is to replace the 3 EM turnouts (1 x BF and 2 EMGS) on my test track with a double slip, diamond crossing and 3 B7 turnouts, all BF.  Need this to really test my upcoming steam conversions.   I'll be uploading some videos of the completed test track and a few diesels running through then it will be onto steam conversions.

 

Wayne must be flat out.  Hats off to him.
