I've always thought it was " broo-um" but if said quickly I guess that would shorten to "broom"

Is it because the items are both painted?

I believe it is because canopy adhesive dries clear and is slightly flexible, so if any squeezes out of the joint it is much less visible

I have a question for builders of these "wooden" kits, the instructions talk about using superglue or two-part epoxy, I would have though a good water proof PVA, thoughts please: I've never actually built one although i do have a couple in stock to do and PVA would be my first thought. OT...

Thanks Rik!

Umm ...whats a "1920's gauge railway"?

Still, a couple of nice shots, although not quite sure how you managed to build ALL of that during lockdown?

Just to set the record straight, Emett has only one 'm'. (no flames coming your way!)

Oops, fat fingers!

Interesting, looking forward to seeing how it turns out.
Can't say I'm keen on the livery though.

And this is one way of loading carriages, although how accurate this is I don't know....

At the risk of being shot down in flames, that looks more like a creation of your friend Emmett than a real operation.

How they manage to load the carriage I'm unsure, but there might be another transfer siding coming up in the future? Don't know about narrow gauge practice ( I'm sure somebody will do though) but I don't see why it would be much different, but on standard gauge it was quite common to have an "...

I just hope that it holds up long enough to print the replacement. Fingers crossed and good luck!

Justa quick bump of this thread.
It is exactly 2 years since we resurrected the idea, don't let this be the last one through lack of support!

Perhaps the sound balance is not good on my laptop if no one else feels the need to mention it?

I always turn the sound off on video's. I'm usually not very keen on the music but more importantly I get it in the neck from SWMBO who hates the sound of loco's ( both steam and diesel)!

Well done Rik.

I found this on the Beeb site. Will it be the evening news programme tomorrow?

Yes that is the stuff.

Trevor

Yes, agreed and it is available in 250ml cans direct from EMA.

Coming on well Trevor. Can't help with the details you are looking for but I'd guess that some of our Ffestiniog afficionado's may be abe to.

So can I just check that we are looking at the same imperfections! These are what I was refering to. IMG_9136.jpg and I can see I've made a horrible job gluing that 'first' side (damn superglue!) - Why do you use superglue? I wouldn't let it within a mile of something like this. Both PLA and ABS st...

As George said!

First of all, I want to apologize for my delay in starting this thread --- posting Youtube links or videos is still a stumbling block for me. Anyway, enough said so I can get you to the good stuff. I hope you enjoy my initial effort at making videos as much as I really enjoyed the process of making...

I've been wondering about that imperfection on the sides as well. It appears to be at the same height from the floor on all three vehicles, so I assumed that they were printed vertically? Why the same defect should appear on three separate stls/g codes is puzzling.
