had some downtime at work a couple of days ago so decided to have some sketching practice , done on cheap printer paper and a cheap hb pencil but filled in a couple of hours

conductivity of differing materials is irrelevant as the glue/water mix is the conducting media and water is just about the best conductor !! distance applied from and batteries are the most likely answer , more PVA in the mix , sprinkling lower down and a run over with the vacuum after drying and b...

well aware it may have been here before I have posted earlier , that wasn't the point it was asking for it to be pinned that was the critical part !!

it has occurred that you get quite a few requesting what paint will be suitable for certain liveries , so I decided I'd post a helpful little asset that could perhaps be pinned by mods for everyones use

n gauge would seem to have it all but I still am reluctant to change and here are my main reasons n gauge ( particularly in the past ) has many scale related sacrifices ( especialy in the connecting rods and valve gear ) wheels have improved vastly over the last decade or so though what you gain in ...

For me 'new' implies something, be it an item of rolling stock or a locomotive, which has not been available before. Different liveries/numbers don't count in my book. How many 'new' A4s have we had, for example? how many of them when re named and numbered lose their value ??? a genuine factory rel...

I'd say it was !! I looked at that also , I'd probably go for them being London brick wagons and the NE seems to be the self same wagon

biggest problem is that it is all subjective and will differ to every individual , I'm also in the camp that it is not solely a new product as I have the ability to re number and re livery , but others without my ability would have a strongly differing opinion likewise with train sets , yes you prob...

....and while you have gone to the trouble of dissecting the car, wang some LED's in! good idea on plastic cars but diecast bodies can prove to be considerably harder , by the nature of diecasting it sees that head and tail light areas have very thick metal to drill through whilst not too much of a...

technicaly not just oxfords offerings but most model vehicles seem to be modelled bereft of people fine if you intend to model a car park but not so good if you intend to model on roads and around the layout I have just done a couple very quickly for demo purposes that are going to be used on my fut...

dry sand sprinkled on to give good coverage then used same PVA method as used for ballasting then airbrushed the desired colour

Before launching the inevitable avalanche of support for the local shop consider this: what proportion of eg. model locos are actually bought over the counter? I would hazard a guess that the majority of the market are internet or telephone sales, the bricks and mortar shop being irrelevant here. ....
