One very experienced seller who really should know better has three listed describing them as "3 DAPOL or similar BR Mk 1 CORRIDOR COACHES in BR Maroon Livery OO Gauge". In all fairness to the dealer the starting price is only £15 so he's hardly describing them as Bachmann. or attempting t...

Ended up buying this little beaut of a digital vernier caliper, how do they do it for the price, exactly the same one at an exhibition this week was £18. :o https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/6-150mm-LCD-Digital-Vernier-Caliper-Micrometer-Measure-Tool-Gauge/162954145823?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var...

And if you think that's expensive have a look at his other stuff.

Does anyone happen to know the thckness of the Peco platform tops. I have aquired a large number of platform edges and I would like to use plasticard for the surface which I intend to scribe, hence the need for the thickness required so I can buy the right size. Thanks in advance

Sorry to butt in but with the plastic shaker bottle what length of static grass would be the max size for effective use of the bottle. Thanks in advance

I realise that I may be preaching to the converted but the below pics show a couple of the ideas I used whilst wiring the turnouts.

I have now decided on a name for my loft layout, OUTSTREET, it’s an anagram of what the wiring gave me ( Tourettes, :lol: ), the neighbours must have wondered what on earth I was swearing about in the loft. Well if you look at the first post ever the original trackplan has changed drastically to thi...
