What do  you do if you are using the airbrush to spray cellulose paint?

 

Don

 

Ensure your airbrush has PTFE seals. I've had no problems since fitting them (and, yes I use a double filter respirator and externally venting spraybooth when spraying cellulose)

We 'ad a terrier when I was growing up, it would sit on its hind legs begging for food, fall asleep and fall over!

 

Very passive for a Jack Russell.

Does this make the town a 'no go' area for Mr Sheepbloke?

I take it you mean the world famous Flying Backwards?

[John Besley]

That reminds me

 

We had 60103 back in its LNER days as 4472 at Paignton in August 1973,  toward the end of the season she was due a boiler washout which duly happened and the following couple of days later returned to traffic as per normal...

 

Coupling back up onto the train at Queens Park ready to leave on the 10:30 with a noise like a safety valve going off the righthand bottom mudhole door gasket blew a leak venting steam and scallding water across the platform... fortunately no-one was standing in the way, on went the injectors to keep the boiler filled up...

 

Nothing for but to abandon the trip and release 7827 from the loop to take the service train out, 4472 then set back onto the pit road to dump her by then very full firebox in the pit and cool down, which took a good 24 hours, requiring the mudhole door removal, reseating and the boiler filling up again, then a return to steam and a check all round.

 

The down side was myself and Pete Roach had to empty the pit which was also now full of water as the drains where now blocked.

 

Hey ho, oh the fun we had as 14 year old school boys - scary to realise that was 50 years ago...

Evening all, 

 

Pottering in the Room of Doom this evening. Nothing outrageous just mooching. 

 

Bit of a Welsh soundtrack to proceedings of which, a few samples. Headphones are on, volume at 11. 

 

 

 

 

Now, Budgie's bassist, vocalist in fact Budgie was Burke Shelley..................

 

 

who played in a trio called the Superclarkes whose occasional guitarist was Mickey Gee, Dave Edmunds regular guitarist. Also on stage with Dave as third guitarist ( glasses) is Andy Fairweather-Low. All good Cardiff boys. 

And.........the Superclarks were the house band in my local for a number of years in the early to late '90. Needless to say, I rarely missed a gig. The music bar was literally 30ft x 15, maybe 60 people tops. 

 

 

 

The Capitol was later demolished to make way for a shopping centre, now seemingly failing with most units empty.

 

A bit of modern image as well. Great cover...

 

 

 

 

 

 

And up to date with..

I saw Budgie live in Plymouth way back in 70's, my god around 50 years ago!!!

Morning all, 

 

In what is quite a dramatic turn of events, I am absolutely chuffed to beans to see Ewe popping up in the Scalefour journal as part of a lovely article introducing their 50th Anniversary Diorama competition.
