Barnaby Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) Bob subject to Mike replying go have a look here http://www.lcut.co.uk they are lust starting to create their 0 gauge elements. Click on PRODUCTS then 7mm. I'm thinking of fronting some of my scratch build with their panels. You can also do a search of the RM forums for their other posts.

Mike Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share Posted March 3, 2015 Hi Mike. I've just re-read this thread again. Can you tell me how you fix the plastic overlays to the Lite ply, and where did you get the laser cut factory doors you use on Primrose Hill. Cheers Bob Hi Bob, I use a very very thin coat of Evostick applied to the ply and the factory doors are from http://www.kitwoodhillmodels.com/hope that helps Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sp1 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Hi Mike Saw you at Cradley Heath recently, so have seen one layout but not the other! - hope to be able to get to Sutton Coldfield. Hope your next extension will include Barzillai Hingleys factory (he did exist!, and his company still does - he married a cousin of mine) : if it's any help I hear the company are about to produce a Mk 3 Fulminator ;-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted April 20, 2015 Author Share Posted April 20, 2015 Neport NewG0G show done and dusted a thoroughly enjoyable day, chatting and playing trains.Downside M50 closed adding about 40minutes to return journey and the polarity changeover switch went belly up. Need to get this fixed quickly as Reely Grate will be at Sutton Coldfield Saturday and Sunday 25-26. I've also been invited to do Guildex in September, the major 0 gauge show of the year.Well chuffed. 2016 bookings already in the pipe line. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted April 21, 2015 Author Share Posted April 21, 2015 Well I have just spent all afternoon replacing slide switch fitting a new tie-bar and rewiring. Has it cured the fault, has it hell as like, so I have just mailed the Sutton Coldfield exhibition manager and offered Primrose Hill as a replacement as I could spend the next couple of days trying to sort the fault out and still be no further forward.

Mike Posted April 22, 2015 Author Share Posted April 22, 2015 Just found out that the new slide switch is duff so it's off to the shops this morning and hopefully by this evening we should be up and running again although it's school run after lunch so it could be tomorrow morning. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted April 22, 2015 Author Share Posted April 22, 2015 Thank god for that Mike, for a moment I thought there had been a catastrophic fulminator failure !! You and me both, it's the closest I've been to hitting it with a very large hammer. Thank goodness for Gordons with a splash of tonic, after all the lemon slice is part of our 5 a day.

N15class Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 isn't the juniper berry in gin part of the five a day too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
puddlejumper Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 (edited) Probably the quinine in the tonic counts as well, so 3 large G&Ts = better than 5 a day Keep up the health kick Mike, you'll feel all the better for it Edited April 22, 2015 by puddlejumper 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Siberian Snooper Posted April 23, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 23, 2015 isn't the juniper berry in gin part of the five a day too. If it's not, it should be, especially the Plymouth variety. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simond Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I enjoy a G&T, or a Scotch, but real ale has to be healthier: It's made from barley, yeast & hops, and the boiling is done before, not after, it's made, so the health benefits are retained. Yeast is arguably not one of your five-a-day, but this is merely a good reason to have an extra pint, to ensure you get the full benefit of the goodness in the other two ingredients. Chocolate is also a good option. It is, of course, the produce of an exotic fruit. It therefore counts as part of your five-a-day ration too, but only if you have a handful. Hoping this clears up any misunderstandings Simon 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 Dust well and truly blown off and several little jobs that I have put off for far to long including replacing the point operating unit and switch have now been completed. I'm still having to use an extension lead into the workshop so photos will have to wait until my electrician has done his stuff. However, I have been playing trains and enjoying myself, well it is an essential requirement isn't it? 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
