G'Day Gents Thank you for the comments. With the hedges, you can water down the PVA by about 40% + a drop of washing up liquid, I then used a decent sized paint brush to 'Paint' the glue on, the dunking it into a ice cream tub of green stuff, I usually leave it until next day before I use them. Yes ...

G'Day Gents Thank you for your generous praise. I get the most pleasure out of building loco's as you may have guessed, but scenery brings everything together, and I've had bare boards for far to long, Here's a few more DSCF4634.JPG DSCF4635.JPG DSCF4639.JPG And......I've gone back to and old (very ...

G'day Gents. I have a few pictures of the hedges, in and around Edgware in the 1900-1939 era and most of them show very neat and trimmed hedges, unfortunately they are long shots. I have seen power trimmer/slasher of the JCB type, BR also had some 'Rail ' mounted versions used for trimming lineside ...

G'Day Gents Thank you 'Mountain', talking of engines, here's two that are almost finished, they have been indifferent runners for a while, so they've had a sorting out, better connections, modified pick ups, oil and clean, what a world of difference that's made, now I have two good runners, a J1 0-6...

Temps, perfect, warm days and cool night, main areas, across the front of the arched bridge, along to the plate girder bridge and the fields behind it.

G'Day Gents This has a lot of potential. I to also remember a layout from at least 50 years ago, of a small waterside hamlet on a tidal estuary, mud everywhere, ram-shackled 17th century buildings, overturned boats and drying nets, it was built by a fellow called ' G I Stokes' or 'I G Stokes' looked...

G'Day Gents Trying to clear some space on my already overcrowded workbench, I decided to concentrate on the G1, as it need the least amount of work & spare parts, most of the others need 'Bits' which I'm still waiting for. There are still things that need doing, glass for the windows, sandboxes,...
