Inexpensive Key Component to Railway Modelling
Hello,
Whilst I am not as experienced as most, I feel I do have sufficient ability to achieve what follows; I would like to share this knowledge and method to all who may find it useful. I would like to point out that I did not invent this; I am simply following in others footsteps.
I am certain that the majority of you will agree that this is an essential component for any modeller - young or old.
Please follow the steps below carefully, it may seem simple to start with but accidents can happen!
Step 1:
Locate a kettle, Most households’ have one - It can usually be found in the kitchen area.
Step 2:
Take kettle to nearest convenient H2O dispenser and fill accordingly.
Step 3:
Locate and initiate hand operated activation switch, You can do this with either your left or right hand depending on your personal preference.
Step 4:
Whilst you are waiting for the kettle to achieve its maximum potential, Prepare the following components...
1 x Beverage Receptacle
1 x Multipurpose uni-directional lightweight concave stirring utensil
Step 5:
Take a tea bag, round or traditional depending on your preference, and loosely locate it at the base of the beverage receptacle.
Step 6:
By now your kettle should have achieved it maximum potential and is ready for dispersal. Take the kettle and at an approximate angle of 45 degrees transfer sufficient H2o into the beverage receptacle.
Step 7:
Next you will need some extract of cow, you can use Blue, Green or Red - Depends on what colour cows you have available to you. Add the amount that suits you and stir gently in either a clockwise or counter-clockwise motion with the
Multipurpose uni-directional lightweight concave stirring utensil
Step 8:
Using your Multipurpose uni-directional lightweight concave stirring utensil, locate the tea bag and remove excess H2o from it by applying pressure to the Multipurpose uni-directional lightweight concave stirring utensil whilst against the inner side of the beverage receptacle. Remove and discard when complete.
Step 9:
You now have several optional customisations, For those of you with a sweet-tooth you may add a quantity of sugar or if you prefer some extract of bee this is also acceptable. For those of you who are being more carful but would still like additional flavour - we suggest fake sugar, whilst these do resemble extract of mouse - they are not actually that bad.
Step 10:
Finally, using the Multipurpose uni-directional lightweight concave stirring utensil for the last time, stir gently in either direction and remove. Your creation is now complete and ready for consumption.
But don't stop there!
There are any number of ways to accessorise with your new creation,
Here is an example of my personal favourite...
I hope you have found this both educational and inspirational, I would love to hear from anyone who wish's to share the experiences.
Warmest regards,
Paul

Re: Inexpensive Key Component to Railway Modelling
I have one criticism if I may?
Your 'Beverage Receptacle' is way too small for the task. Much better to use economies of scale as shown on the left in the following picture:-
Seen next to a standard 1/2 pint mug - only this one holds a pint and a quarter of lovely tea!!!

They both have their uses- the second one is good for designing the layout, the first one is good for solving problems when the layout doesn't work

Re: Inexpensive Key Component to Railway Modelling
I thought I would add a different version of this for the Continental modeller.
First find some wood. (here's some I made earlier)
This will need to be collected and transported to the kitchen area
While you have your hat and gloves on best fill the kettle
However snow like this is best avoided
Back indoors add wood to stove and light
Place kettle on stove and wait
When boiling it will look like this
Add coffee to desired taste
Care must be taken not to break the handle off like I just did
Leave to brew according to taste
While brewing add sugar
And Milk
Pour through a strainer
Enjoy

I see nothing wrong with getting into bed with Europeans, Unless their French obviously.

Re: Inexpensive Key Component to Railway Modelling
Wow, lol, great article, I to am lost for comments! I have to say I do admire the ingenuity of the second suggestion! But there is one problem... how do you like the stove!
... oh no... make that two problems... I don't like either tea or coffee! I adore the smell of coffee though?
