You're really enjoying this new found material I see..... no stopping you now! The bins look very realistic, proper coal too. Question.... what have you used to stick down the coal and is it on a support material? I used a thin layer of coal on a polystyrene base and the birds pecked away until the ...

Not being in the least domesticated (although fully house trained) I would never have considered a kitchen baster, but similar in many ways to my own method of using an Evo-Stik Resin wood-glue container (the old type before the fancy non-block (????) top was fitted). I slice a diagonal piece from t...

The loco is just a mess and needs a proper paint job..... price reduction for that I think!
The postage is probably about right, particularly if it includes insurance.

Well I certainly enjoyed it Rik, I had a smile on my face the whole journey. You have a great variety of stock to choose from and they all look the part.
It certainly is a busy line you have there, how you manage to control them as well as filming is a mystery.

Lovely pictures of 'Snapdragon' well at-home on your line Julie, couldn't have found a better place to live.

With the coming of better weather and the changing of the clocks I have been reluctant to start a new project working in 'our' kitchen and waiting for the right time to set up my workstation in the 'Engine shed' again. I have now made the move and straight away a new idea sprang into the void inside...

I like the tractor idea Mitch, that's my kind of loco.

That's a very pleasant surprise Rik, and a nice birthday gift too! I had no idea it was so well received. All down to your expert filming and editing really.

I felt a gasp in my breathing when I saw the finished articles Rik.... they are just amazing! You have mastered the weathering process with 'Honours', we need a 'how to' from you now.
Top marks... again!

Welcome Paul and congratulations on the start of your railway, the setting looks great and your plans will make it look good once established. Your concerns about construction may be justified as the decking timber is treated so as not to absorb moisture, including adhesive, so the bond will not be ...
