Did you also know that the moon landings were faked, they were actually filmed on mars. Bet you didn't know that

would love to see the GWSR get to cheltenham spa as well as broadway and honeybourne (although that has been potentially delayed due to a someone trying to make the trackbed a public right of way) i could wish for that application to be withdrawn as well then...

Wow, just read this thread the whole way through, it is amazing! So much track I will now be watching this one intently, having discovered it, loking forward to more scenery

Oh dear, I hope you stick with it, from what I've seen, I'd really like to see them finished now, as I'm sure you and everyone else here would. good luck!

A lovely little layout, love the GWR toad van, it looks exactly as a real one did as it came into C&W at winchcombe where i help out waiting to be restored, the rust o the white bars are perfect (having studied it in detail having to sand it all off on a real one!)

i like it, how did you do the weathering, airbrushing or dry brushing with pastels or other powders etc? also, i think those chains look good, but could also do with a bit of weathering, they are glinting on that lovely rusty, umm, deck? (it's as good a name as any...)

oh, that's a shame, i though these were gaining momentum again, they look great! why the sudden pause/stop then?

looking at craft computer papers, you can get decals for inkjet that you don't need to seal, but you "rub" on, sounds interesting, as the stuff they recommend for sealing is 7 quid!

bent paperclip works fine for me...

chalk pastels, I don't like oil pastels, you can't work them as well. try scraping the pastel with a knife, so the powder that comes of lands on the wagon, then move that around with your finger instead, you get less streaks than putting it on directly.

Wow well done, glad you got there in the end! I am looking forward to seeing the finished product

I have one of them, I bought it about 6 years ago when I was 8 for the then astronomical amount of £19.50! AS much as I like it, I was never really sure what it was, Caledonian or something?... I also like the fact it says, "built in britain", as opposed to "made" and/or "in...

I like using soft pastels, you can move it around with your fingers until you are happy with it, and if you get it wrong, you can just wipe it off with a damp cloth and start again, when happy, just give it a quick blast with some hairspray or fixative etc. shoe polish sounds interesting though, esp...

Ahh forgive me, I was 4 at the time, am 14 now!

There's also daisy and bo-co, both bubblecar type things I think in the original book. And if you want a challenge, there's the narrow guage engines, those used to be my favourite stories when I read the book...
