Hope you enjoyed it! I was frazzled for a while towards the start helping to run Mauchline and Ballochmyle Viaduct which had been stored for the past two years. All good thereafter.

I'm listening to the beating of my partners heart — the most beautiful sound in the world!!

@bridgiesimon Super song, that. My favourite of theirs is 'Bring me to life'

I've uploaded more photos of the 20/3 livery samples to NGN here

Very much looking forward to these, although hopefully the later DRS livery arrives sooner rather than later!

Hello fellow Humbrol enamel users.

After I had the gluggy 154 Matt Yellow (5 posts up) I worked on it an added lots of thinner. Was still a liitle lumpy, but it would be ok to brush.

I sent a query to Humbrol (Hornby Hobbies) about formulation changes etc and, after supplying them the trace code (batch barcode), I got a same day response from the Hornby Technical Support and QC Team Leader. The useful bit is " The batch of the tinlet you have it the first one made after a batch of skimming agent was made unavailable via legislation, we have had some reports that certain tinlets from this batch have exhibited similar behaviour to yours." and suggests I return it for a replacement.

Anyway, many kudos from me to Hornby Hobbies for even bothering to answer me and also for offering an explanation.

I hope Humbrol enamels continue to be made and be available in Oz. I find them usually available, and good for brush, spray and wash use. I'm not so fussed on the Tamiya or the acrylic alternatives - at least for brushing.

With some front end shortening and some slimming it might work as a railmotor power source.
