Re: Does anyone here have a 'Plotter'
Happy to help Peter,
I may use him myself at some point. I have an idea for some private owner type wagons and vinyl lettering may be the solution if I go ahead.

Re: Internet "forums" are a thing of the past
I used to post regularly on here but now I don't bother due to receiving some not very nice personal and public messages from another forum user on this forum who didn't like what I had to say, even though I was polite, not abusive, and trying to offer constructive advice. I now only read what other...

Re: Wooden coal cart - advice needed
That's a lovely looking horse and cart Rik. I have very little woodworking experience, especially since my long time ago school days. I do agree with you though on how many different skills are involved in this fantastic hobby.

Re: Loading hoppers for the sand quarry
That looks good Rik. I must get back to my modelling and in particular using foam board. I have a couple of buildings under construction that I've put away. FWIW I use the cheap superglue for foam board. I get the cheapest I can find from Range.

Re: Larger scale Stuff
Steel boilers seem to be the thing now in larger scales... Yes, probably due to the cost of copper boilers. Steel boilers require more maintenance AFAIK. Not sure about steel boilers, but steel fireboxes are cheaper than copper fireboxes. I think, AFAIK, it is only in our small scales where copper ...

Wow..... That's very nice of you all, thanks folks. I have to admit, I hadn't intended simulating weathered wood - I was just weathering the grey painted wagons. A moral in there somewhere.
