I reckon they used CO2.

CO2 discharged at high pressure into an ambient atmosphere will fog. To try it for yourself, go and ask your Fire Marshall at work for training on CO2 FAFFA.

Been mucking about with fire extinguishers again have we Mark?

Not sure if that's better or worse.

In my science teacher days we'd get a chunk of dry ice from the ice cream factory up the road, and that would be a whole day's lessons - letting kids chuck it into beakers of water, and burning themselves with it. They loved it!

Maybe it was dry ice?

Edit: Or one of those smog machines you can buy these days

The Train Set's geyser effect was dry ice sublimation, as Tim Shaw correctly stated, all giggly excited in a kind of 'Ho Sir! Me Sir! I know Sir!' creepy way.

Cool, thanks, Graham! 

Now I can check out this famous volcano!!

Yep, discharged CO2s many times in training and once for real, I reckon that was a bog standard CO2 extinguisher fired up the volcano..

But if you're going to have fire extinguishers round the house and more importantly the model railway shed, have Dry power (blue band on the extinguisher)  as it can be used on anything, electricity , scenic stuff or oils.  CO2 Has black band on the extinguisher..

dry powder is messy though...

Got me viewing tonite!

All I've got to do is get out of this bowling club!

Hi George,

Are you all watching highlights from the Oval and your beers keep filling up with tears   

Hope you enjoy the railway programme. Might be best that you've had a few  .

Cheers weave

Just settling into bed with me  Samsung  Tab 3.

Regards the Oval, we still won, though, eh 

Anyway, bring on the Challenge! 

[Bealman]

Unfortunately, nothing I can do will get the challenge on.

Ah well, sleep is a good option. Skin cancer doc 9am tomorrow. 

No, I haven't got skin cancer, by the way. Well not until tomorrow!

Watched the first episode of series 2 last night.

Caveat: Was actually not in great mood beforehand, due to it being the Sunday after TINGS (a whole year before I can go again) and having to be in work today etc etc. Plus the channel 5 catch up thing was annoying with insisting I needed subtitles.

Found the whole thing a lot more irritating than I remember the first time round (and I watched the entire series).

I don't think it's the concept that irks me, I am aware that it is an entertainment show and as such things are rushed that us in the hobby wouldn't ever rush (or at least shouldn't, track laying as mentioned being a prime example).

There was also some lovely modelling, especially from the young chap on the chemist / "Train set" team who did the lovely water and coastline work.

I think it's the presenters (seemingly now only being allowed to speak if they spout an inane pun) and the judges (overly animated in pieces to camera and often downright rude to contestants).

Will give the second episode a go, hopefully in a better mood.
