Re: AP Chief Dispatcher

This is an example of something that can be used when we are sharing know-how. Although you've posted this as a Dispatcher item, there are opportunities to do much more than simple dispatching. What about a short series showing how something can be planned, built and used? If you are thinking of doi...

Re: Making decals

Thanks for sharing know-how Martyn. As for doubling up the number of decals, I'm intending to have more than that as I'm expecting to make mistakes and previous experience tells me the fewer backups you have, the more mistakes you make! It'll be a few weeks before I do all this but I'll post my expe...

Re: Photos - shows

Re: Bank holiday progress?

My 'weekend' started on Tuesday. Been working on new NMRA brochure but did manage to cut plastic are to shape for 'concrete' outside diesel house. Relaxing work.
