Listening to my own heart, beating at 160bpm. I could end up in hospital again

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.
