Hello folks

I've not been posting on the forum for the last 4 months or so. I'm still around, but my wife, Judy, died of ovarian cancer on 7 August. She had been undergoing chemo for the last year, but about 4 months ago the oncologists announced that it wasn't working so all treatment was stopped. That is when the reality of it all really hit hard. My world suddenly turned upside down. Since then I haven't even been reading the forum posts, let alone contribute any posts of my own.

My mojo is gradually returning so you can all dread the reappearance of me on the forum which will be soon.

Best wishes to all,
Webbo

We have now received 2mm transfers from Steve@Railtec, very much appreciated by my mates Craig Jamieson and Phil Holman.

This makes our vehicles complete.

The model 3d print was by (ak_joel@hotmail.com) and may possibly still be available form him.
The transfers are 2mm from Steve at RAILTEC,  NR/Colas Motorail Guv.

There are stilll some detailing parts to be added but so far the models are looking good.

Is this the Easyfoam to which Glen referred?

Yes indeed.

a timely query

I was planning to buy a lot more of 10 Commandments to fill an Ikea Alex set of drawers - and be able to easily remove trays to carry away in the Really Useful Boxes when necessary.

Another option is Fieldherr - i received some wagons posted in one of their boxes and it is very good and sturdy. But another pricey option.

A cheaper option might be to source flat foam sheet and lengths of rectangular section and glue them together to suit your needs. Instead of the wastage of removing material to create the shape you want.

Pick and Pluck foam is a very expensive way to do it for a regular shape that we need - makes more sense for complex shapes.

I'd like a stiff card or thin mdf tray with slots for rails for stock storage in drawers. I'm sure it would be straight forward to make my own but my finger in the air calculation was that the Ten Commandments ones were just about the right price for time/effort trade off.

Best wishes to Jon for his health

In a word "fabulous"! Guitar was fine for me (Gibson E175 semi-acoustic - I think).

PS Catherine Deneuve of course @kusojiji ! I thought she was someone I should know from the music video but couldn't think who. Does anyone remember the film "The Hunger"? Still working today at 82 - following a mild stroke.

The JB Modelworld foam liners are just slightly larger than A4 by approx 5mm on each side

I'm glad you wrote that, or I'd have swerved it after a couple of minutes. Some great harmonies, she has a powerful voice. The guitar sound wasn't right for me - I think it may have sounded better on a Les Paul

Something else that popped up whilst I was listening to my Daily Recommendation from Tidal.

I like this but I'm not at all sure what others will make of it. It's a band with an interesting but chequered history.

Just one thing.........stick with it :
