Over the years I've bought and used most popular brands of superglue, liquid and gel, and find that eventually, some sooner than others, they get clogged up. I've tried tapping the bottle after use, putting a long pin in the neck to keep it clear and just about every other tip, hint advice going. I'...

Just a thought.......isn't about time this post was "culled" as suggested in the very first post ?

Wear safety glasses for this... I used a minidrill and a carbodium type cutting disk. I cut half way through the sleeper and then snap them off, but there again, my sleepers are thick. I guess one has to cut right through if one wants thin sleepers. The ideal tool would be a mini bench saw. I dont ...

Well done! Excellent work. Yes, like that! :D At first I thought it would be beyond my capabilities, but when I made a start, I was surprised that it was easier then I thought. It is time consuming though, and is not without its issues. My rails needed relocating several times and I dont have any g...

What scale do I need to print at for N gauge please ?

First, a good helping of 'Self Confidence', believing you can do it ! That's not just a joke, self belief is a state of mind that allows us to often achieve beyond that we think is possible. Then the second, well perhaps even first, is the first step of actually starting, it's always the hardest to...

The weathering looks really good, would you mind explaining how you get the rust effect please,

FMR is my local railway model shop and bless them they've moved even closer to me !! When I got started on my Ngauge layout I bought everything from them and the help I got from them was invaluable, especially from a young chap called Sam, does anyone know if he is still working there ? Really with ...

Rob, I think the grass stands up pretty well using the puffer bottle - not sure how well it comes out in the photos? In N gauge I was more interested in getting a 'texture' better than just flocks, rather than actual standing up strands. For that I expect a proper electronic applicator would achiev...

Hi PNP,

Did you find the Noch puffer bottle effective in making the grass "stand up" ?

This is my local modelling shop and yes the service is always excellent !!

For me, the ultimate gaffe was in a TV adaptation of M. E. Braddon's 'Lady Audley's Secret, written in 1862. This lover of Victorian melodrama enjoyed it up to the moment a continuity sequence depicting a train journey to Portsmouth showed a Bulleid light pacific entering a tunnel. And, just to rub...

That's looking really good, do you have a particular seller you buy your plaster cast walls from please,

Rob.

Responses to threads are at an all time low at the moment it seems to me and this seems such bad manners to merely consume but not contribute. I have to say that I find comments like this more than slightly annoying. We post - when we do - to show people what we have done on the basis that they may...

I also think the climbing ivy looks great, sorry if you've already answered this but where did you source it from please,

Rob.
