I'll see if marmite does the same.
I have a partial answer to one of my questions. Goods sheds were built with doors more generous than the loading gauge and so needed a measure...
Should there be a loading gauge hanging over each entry/exit of a shunting layout or only at the 'throat' of the yard? I've seen models with...
I understand that during WW2 lime and salt wagons were not common pooled and this continued under BR. Does anyone know if there are additional...
Thanks chaps :thumbup: I think I'll do a mix and match. Cream for the cab, black for the footwell and maroon seats. I'll take a few photos...
I'm building a Dapol Scarab and I don't know what colour to paint the interior. The few photos I've seen seem to suggest a black floor and pale...
I'm crewing up some of my 1950's 'kettles'. Are the pale blue overalls with black jackets and red kerchiefs for drivers (as seen in most off the...

Sorry I've not been able to do this as one post. Can't seem to get the 'share from gallery' thingy to work. First and random coat of rusty...
I had a couple of resin crates which I'd (badly) painted. A few hours soaking in dilute dettol and the enamel paint scraped off easily:idea:....
Hello Jack, Pleased to see you aboard :handshake: Perhaps the younsters can show us oldies a thing or two.
I think some of the mouldings have deeper relief than comparable Parkside kits and their are some interesting items in the range. Some people...

I've got the souther region green one of these and I think it'll look good with the same kind of weathering. I'm told parcels stock was rarely...
