Highly recommended as a base for yellow - it gives it more depth than white primer, and is much easier to get decent coverage.

Yes, pink primer gives an excellent base for yellow, which is a difficult colour to paint. I don't recall where I learned about it, surprisingly I don't think it was Boomer!

After a bit of a hiatus I've got some yellow paint on number 22. The pink really does work well as a primer for the yellow. I sprayed far more of the short hood than I needed to! #hoscale #modelrailway #modeltrains #kitbash #187scale #bsmrguk #modelrailroading #railwaymodelling

I have bought some Kato n scale. I love it. Everything is marvellous. Particularly the track for ease of joining and laying out. #kato #modelrail #modelrailway 🚂

You're on a bit of a roll at the moment!

It's turned out really good, a credit to your hard work on it.

I don't think you can reliably connect power to track without soldering, and without droppers at regular intervals. I learnt the hard way many years ago - pretty much all my issues came from insufficient power feeds and unreliable connections.

And the 0-8-0 is 1:48 whilst the terrier is 1:43. To be fair, the Terriers were small by UK standards. I always wanted one of the Vulcan kits, that really takes me back to my youth.

If I was to do it again I'd work in 5.5mm scale, but I didn't think of that back then.

Very true. I've spent the last 20 years waiting for some 21mm gauge axles to appear!

I'm not sure how I wasn't following you on YouTube but I am now.

I have a very long trail of unfinished projects. Probably most significant to me is this scratchbuilt 7mm scale 3ft gauge Peckett that took months of work researching and taking measurements off the prototype, before scratchbuilding everything bar the boiler fittings. Still wheel-less in a box.

This is such an important article. Everyone should read it, or better still listen to the blog and experience the raw creative process of it, combined with a bit of domestic background noise and an insight into egg delivery, which I didn't realise is a thing.

It's always good to have a Pratchett on hand, just in case.

I guess it hung somewhere if it had a round base, but no spout for pouring. Was it used to dry something organic?

That seems to have gone well.

Some details from my layout! #modelrailroad #h0scale

😂 Terry Prachett would be proud - lol

Thank you for sharing, it's great to see so many likes on a #modeltrains post! The UK #modelrailway community on here is quite small - anyone with an interest in #railwaymodelling should follow the #bsmrguk hashtag and join! Sad to have missed York this year.

A model railway layout, devoid of trains. Only the wooden surround gives the game away at first glance. In front of the rural halt is the beach of an estuary. There are no trains in this image and yet it's utterly captivating.

Imagine being able to take a summer's day and fit it inside a box?

I must admit I didn't think past diesels!

I don't think many modern HO or OO locomotives use traction tyres - they're generally all wheel drive, all wheel pick-up. There are a few British OO models in the more budget range that still use them.

Don't remind me - I have to miss it this year.

One thing I miss by modelling American is signals. I'm toying with a small layout so that I can have some. I'm interested to see how you get on with these.

Ah I see, I couldn't fine the numbers on Google Maps. At least I'll know my way around when I finally get there!
