    Free Model #3 - Cromwell Mk IV

    I second that. :thumb: Just cut them out of colored cardstock - no need to print = no need to add a free download. Besides which, as for you laying down the rules, no way is Toddlea an anagram of Robert Mugabe. :mrgreen: Good luck with those tracks - you're going to need it...

    Come on back to the caboose and get a cup of coffee [or sweet ice tea] Part V

    Jeff, that's a great photo. It's an excellent modeller's resource. Thank you for sharing. :thumb: Hi again, everybody. It's just gone mid-day here, and the sun is shining. I'd do some weed-cutting, but the way our language keeps changing, that's probably become an arrestable offence! If...

    DDG173 Kongo

    Hi, atamjeet. These ships have a lot of fiddly detail, don't they? You've done a fine job! :thumb::thumb::thumb: I checked out your other builds. I like the pulse rifle - it's close to the aliens original prop, and it's huge! Did you design that yourself?

    Railfanning the ANNA Lines

    Great photos everyone. :thumb: e-paw: those links don't have the .jpg (dot-jpg) on the end. I think the forum software auto-detects that and shows the jpg instead of printing the link. hth

    What's wrong with Trains.com??

    Perhaps 'panic' is too strong a word. However, look back at when zealot went down for a while - instant withdrawal symptoms and the shakes, requiring the urgent remedial action of sending thousands of emails to the web-server asking why the site was down. And that was just me. I was thinking...

    Interesting. Like so many magazines, their 'news' is about 3-4 months out of date, and supplied by an advertiser. :mrgreen: Nice SP Gs4 picture, though. :rolleyes: :wave:

    Idea for a Model Railroad to fit what you bought

    How about a line leading up to a helix, or an up-down horse-shoe? Load-testing and brake-testing are great excuses for a steep gradient. :wave:

    Shipping Trains (Class 66)

    There was a time when Britain made locos and shipped them across the world. Now, the rail construction industry in Britain has gone to the dogs. Why! Even the tagging is to be outsourced. Tag art applicants write up their CVs :wave:
