Thanks for that. I look forward to the pictures.
I did try some making some silicone moulds once, about 35 years ago, without much success and have been reluctant to try again, but I think I must bite the bullet.

.... I have just measured up a combination of Lydney junction and Oakle Street stations on the old Severn and Wye and it scales out at 32 inches.. Doesn't surprise me. Quite by chance I've just spent this morning drawing up an old village post office and village stores, to act as part of the rear ...

Personally, I've never heard of this brand, so can't speak about the actual product. However, in principle, Firstly the rail heads should all all be level, so if the nose is proud there is something wrong. Secondly, the rails should always support the tyre of the wheel so if there is major droppin...

Nice little loco, but from the 'cheap model with wide appeal' point of view, a couple of things spring to mind: 1) There are an awful lot of 'bits' attached to the basic body shell and every 'bit' adds complexity and hence cost. 2) You'll need to do something non-prototypical about the buffer beams/...

Re: Shapeways
Came across a website last night called "Shapeways" on which are listed some rather nice, 3d printed VR narrow gauge kits, has anyone had any experience of said website or indeed these kits? http://www.shapeways.com/shops/shapeways.com/shops/Jeevi?section=G+Scale+Models&s=0 They look ...

Next time paint the whole sheet, then cut the slates!!! Just a suggestion. Agreed. Just apply splodges of varying shades of grey at random on the sheet, then use a brush to move the paint around until its all covered and looks a right manky mess. Then cut the slates and mix them up before laying. T...

Apologies for the double post - I'm in India at the mo and the connection is bit iffy at times. Narrow Gauge? If so, you won't get let off until you've posted photos! No, sorry, just a Goa hotel pool and an almost deserted 15km beach some 400metres away! There is a std gauge railway station about ...

Hi Michael,
I found this thread on another forum which has some photos and further links. It looks as though they didnt have much more than a simple iron roof on an iron frame.

I started life as a lab technician working on radioactive labelled pharmaceuticals. Worked my way via veterinary pharmaceuticals to quality control in a flour mill and then running a QA lab for Batchelors Foods. A couple of jobs later I found myself working for Travellers Fare, travelling the networ...

A Husband-Mart opened where a woman may go to choose a husband from among many men. The store is composed of six floors, and the men increase in positive attributes as the shopper ascends the flights. There is, however, a catch. As you open the door to any floor you may choose a man from that floor,...
