Progress has been made with the new steam shed for Northbridge, I built up the card to sleeper height and added the sand to give the initial texture, I filled the voids between the sleepers with Hornby dark grey grit which is finer than most ballast and therefore more prototypical for steam sheds where ash was the most common method of bedding in track. I sprayed the whole lot matt black and then applied Peco coal dust to bring up the highlights. I finally go round to assembling the home made static grass applicator that I bought the parts for last summer (fly zapper+metal tea strainer) and was amazed to see that it works quite well with the static grass that I bought at the Glasgow show. Bear in mind that this is my first attempt at static grass so I probably need more practise, the buffer stop also needs straightened up! Or using the flash That's all for now Cheers Jim

In this case "MFP" stands for "music for puking" Jim

Made that one totally from scratch, bit of a Heath Robinson design, I described how I did it on page 2 of my layout thread http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/26270-gateside-northbridge/page-2 Jim

Or PMT depending on Angela and the time of the month

But LGB means something completely different these days (especially when mixed with "T")

Surprised he is not listing cans of smoke from Tornado!

Theater indicator set for platform Five Jim

I don't have any time for these rehashes of Porridge and Open All Hours, without the chemistry that Ronnie Barker had with the likes of Fulton McKay and the rest of the cast the remakes are absolute rubbish. Jim

Now there is a pub question - Which Western had the same name as a Rebuilt West Country Pacific! Jim

Unfortunately some of the older TV sitcoms are totally unsuitable for modern broadcasting, e.g. Till Death us do Part, Love thy Neighbour and Mind your Language. Oh yes and my mother and fathers favourite variety programme- The Black and White Minstrel Show Jim

In My Time Of Dying - Led Zeppelin

Would the reason that the Lima ones sit higher than the Trix/Lilliput ones not be as a result of the oddball 3.8mm/1ft scale used by Trix? Jim

Absolutely - but I have to qualify that by saying that only the original Fred Quimby ones are true classics, some of the later production was nowhere as good. Jim

That earlier view is interesting with the level crossing immediately next to the overbridge, one of these features that if you saw it on a model you would thing was not prototypical! Jim
