@port perran Don't even bother, Martin. It's a racket

Ha... @Newportnobby .
I drove a minibus to Milton Keynes about 26 years ago for a Bon Jovi concert.

Although I had a ticket, bought for me I hasten to add, I elected to stay in the minibus and read my book.

No, Bon Jovi is definitely not my thing at all.   

Like that. 

Oh, I agree. They're horrible things to work with. (IRJs from earlier post(

I gave up on Milliput some time ago as a model filler. I couldn't get it to stick and it just fell out when I tried to smooth it down. I use Humbrol filler now which I find preferable. There's also 'Gorilla Filler' which I've never tried but Gorilla glues are usually very good.

Cheers,

Chris

You come and fit 'em then

I paint my IRJs with brown stripes where they lie above sleepers to help hide them.
It works for me.

@Newportnobby must be a huge gap and/or well out of alignment if it causes derailments.   I'd be looking to lift and replace the track (with IRJs fitted).

Locos bridge the gap (including 0-6-0s) but there is the odd random derailment of 4 wheeled wagons when being pushed across the gap and, as it is intended to show this layout, that's a no-no in my book.
