    Spot the deliberate mistakes!

    the model is in fact made by DJH, so yes, its is indeed a rip off. It also hopes the people buying it have the ability to solder an etched kit up without making a mess of it, and that they can apply a really good rendition of Doncaster green straight off. I doubt it very much somehow...

    "Nottingham, HST's , Asian's and a 'bomb scare'"

    you have made some very fair and valid points and I thank you for that. Just to clear up the whole rastafarian thing, I was merely describing the bloke, definitely not suggesting that rastas are terrorists (the few I've actually met are cool!) I guess we all have that nagging fear about the...

    He most probably wasn't and I didn't stare at him, thats the thing that gets me! Being human I do possess full 180 degree peripheral vison you know, I don't wear blinkers. I don't believe a social threat now comes from Northern Ireland, those days are gone fortunately :? I detest racism...

    "Nottingham, HST's , Asian's and a 'bomb scare'"

    god thats terrible! I wonder what the hell kept beeping :? I had a bit of a paranoid incident last year. Got on a train at Chertsey and sat down, looked to my left and there was this Asian bloke sitting across the aisle who had the most sinister and guilty expression I have ever come...

    Model 442

    I've seen some awful EMU models in 4mm scale go for 250 minimum. you could probably get 350/400 tops. After all, people on ebay do like to go nuts!

    Funny Railway Stories

    got on a train at Waterloo. It was a un-refurbed 455 and I sat down to wait for departure. I then noticed a young Chinese girl who looked like a uni student get on. I have no idea what fashion she was following but she had a padded baked bean tin on her arm. I also slid up one of the sets...

    Tunes have Changed!

    I have only a couple of minor gripes of this fine program. It involves the steam locos. When you blow off, no steam from safety's, the same applies when you whistle. When you open the drain cocks, no steam from there (but you do hear it). The one that really knarks me however, is that when...

    Longville branch(My fictious route in KRS)

    thats looking good! I tried to make a Heritage steam centre type thing and failed miserably as I couldn't make a run round loop :( how the hell do you remove the buffers at the end of the track panels before connecting them? And how do you add stock? The manual didnt help with this problem...

    Questions

    as someone who has experience of finescale kit models, don't use Hornby. Its rubbish, the back to backs of the points are cavernous. Say you want to run a Tenshodo spud motor bogie through Hornby points? Forget it, the silly back to backs mean the Spud will derail, and its the points fault...
