Re: A question about waterslide transfer paper you can print

I don't use varnish, you can buy pots of liquid decal film or i use future floor polish. For me they work much better than varnish. Please also check you have inkjet paper if you have a inkjet printer, or lazerjet paper for a lazer printer. Ive made that mistake myself once. Ahhhhh the future floor...

Re: remove paint from a body

Nail varnish or nail varnish remover? If it smells like pear drops it's acetone which will melt most plastics. Remover......... Correct!... Hence minuscule amount, it's removed the black, and only very slightly, hardly noticeable left a "streak" where the black once was, but this isn't a ...

Re: remove paint from a body

Thanks for that poliss but I think I have cracked it. Cotton bud with the tiniest tiniest spot of nail varnish. It's slow but seems to be working.

Re: remove paint from a body

Some people are very adept at ' splitting hairs' but in practice it's well nigh impossible and so it will be at splitting one coat of paint from another without resulting damage to the original paintwork. It's pretty obvious isn't it? You can try washing the body, obviously separate the body from i...

Re: Go on then! Convert me

Here's a few reasons for not going DCC (they are all negations of what have been offered as "advantages" over the years): Why would you want to "drive the train, not the track". Every railway in the world does the exact opposite. A model railway operator should see himself as a ...

Re: Go on then! Convert me

Lol well I thought I.d decided. One main factor pushing me towards DCC is less electrical. The one thing pushing me away is the cost of fully set up locos. Now Im not really wanting sound that isn't to much of an issue. If a 20 comes along at the right price them I'll go for it but 200 quid on a toy...

Re: Go on then! Convert me

Now you've decided to go ahead, Mark, you might be better opening a separate thread on the DCC part of the forum for your questions on DCC as this thread doesn't even refer to DCC in it's title. You should then get all the DCC crowd answering your questions! :wink: http://www.newrailwaymodellers.co...
