Yes, she (Dolly) certainly is a card! Anyway so now we know.

PS my apologies for not getting her quote correct.

Quote from: Moonglum on Yesterday at 07:18:14 PMSo, John @Train Waiting , is this an admission? I am afraid Country music is a bit lost on me, although Plant/Krauss and Knopfler/Harris feature in my collection. Was it you that quoted Dolly Parton saying "that it costs a lot of money to look this cheap"?

Yes, indeed, Tim, one of my favourite quotes: - "It costs a fortune to make me look this cheap."

When a journalist asked how long it took to do her hair before a performance, Dolly replied, "No idea, I'm never in the same room as it." Perfik! Almost in the Yogi Berra* class.

Incidentally, said Ms Parton is a philanthropic powerhouse as well as a musical powerhouse. A truly wonderful person.

* My favourite, I think, "When you come to a fork in the road, take it." Or, maybe, "You can observe a lot by looking."

By the way - TT is sometimes called the Texas Tornado. I enjoy country music - always have. As a student, my allocated time on the record player was Kenny Rogers, Glen Campbell and (not Country) Frank Sinatra ... and Blondie! I was laughed at.

Was I bovvered? No.

With all good wishes

Yup, enamel sticks better to the metal rail and the shiny plastic Peco use for their sleepers.   I've used various blends over the years, most recently I took the simple option and used a rattle can of Sleeper Grime all over before ballasting.   

After ballasting I use light sprays of brown, black, even dark green to suit the location - eg. where brake dust accumulates in stations,  oil/coal black in depots, a bit of weed/moss on old sidings.

John @Train Waiting are we going to see more musical postingtons from you?
Like Tim @Moonglum Country doesn't do it for me I'm afraid but do continue to join in on this thread.
The more the merrier.

Thanks all, enamel it is

A great combination of two super songs

Hello Chums

TT.

No, not the Isle of Man TT Races with Nortons and Velocettes making their own single-cylinder music.

But ... Miss Tanya Tucker. Here she is (if you are new to TT I suggest you start at 5.35 for a wonderful introduction to her magnificence):-




Patsy, Loretta, Dolly, Tammy, Reba ... and TT!

Toodle-pip

I've used both without big problems but the enamel seems to bond noticeably better to Kato track.

I prefer the enamel as it seems to cover better
