I suspect it's like using real water, it doesn't scale down very well. Hmm very interesting b308. :idea: I've never heard that before, but I'm far from being a long time modellor so maybe just not come across it. What about representations of smoke perhaps? Cotton wool on the end of a vertical shaf...

Just out of interest has anyone tried adding smoke to a buildings chimney?

I have to agree with the last 2 posts My droppers are soldered to the sides of the tracks but are not seen as I've painted the track with RailMatch's SLEEPER GRIME. I saw the presoldered fishplates and thought..... they look a bit naff and would cost a bomb for my layout... I'll do it myself . :mrgr...

Sorry. My last post was meant to be a quote on RAFHAAA96's post. Anyway, the values will be different for red and green. Start with 1K and probably go higher from there. It's really a matter of personal preference as to how bright you want the lights to be. Er... don't you mean red and WHITE. :? :l...

Just an idea.
What about fixing multiple (4-6) castors in a row, horizontally to one end. That way when you stand it up on it's end you can freely move it about on the castors.

I'm almost ready to start adding the windows. I have a large cut up milk bottle for the frosted windows and have had an idea but not sure it will work. I have an idea to place some clear acetate like plastic over the milk bottle peice I will use, to make it seem glass-like / shiny on the outside. Wh...

No problem
I checked most other things except the links on the links page. Didn't find any other anomolies.

Is there anywhere I can find information on all the swallow liveried HST's that Hornby have released upto now? I know there's a DCC one coming at £299.99 not yet released but I mean previous to that one. Perhaps including details like which motor is inside / pure Hornby or ex-lima / working head and...
