Nice, but can we have bigger images, please? Or do I have to join Flickr
to get bigger images?

cheers,

I was about to ask the same.

I'm a member of Flickr, and that doesn't provide larger images if the ones
uploaded are small.

I uploaded large images. You should see an 'all sizes' button above the
image. When you click that, you should see a larger image. I just now made
it open for downloading, so that may help. I tried it using another account
and it does work for anyone other than me. Please let me know if it is
fixed.

I do like the corrugated iron press. I’m just off to the garage now to make
one, might even try to incorporate some Stanley Knife blades so it sizes at
the same time.

All the best,

A couple of Coffee jar caps Work well too If you want to roll your own

Another plendid idea - however I have now built the Christopher Wilson
Mk1 self sizing wriggly tin press :-)

Need to build a Mk2 though, the can get a little stuck at the moment
getting it of the press and it can tare.

Was lamenting on that last night to my wife. Just finished reading an
article in 'Great Model Railroads'. The article was written by one of the
hobby 'Greats', a building was built to house the railroad, somebody else
designed the electronics and did the wiring, an artist was commissioned to
paint the backdrop, the hobby 'Great' recruited a scenery 'Great' and the
two Greats built the scenery with some help from the owner, etc. I suspect
P.D. Hancock did it all and if he did have help it was volunteer help. The
hobby press needs to get back to encouraging DIY.

Just wanted to say thanks - Very much enjoyed those posts.
Also agree with the last poster - I find the availability of commercial
scenic items better than I can make a bit off-putting.

Regards

Mike

You're welcome.

Yeah, my old bumpy chenille trees do seem a bit dated ...

From reading the old Railway Modeller articles, he wasn't very old when
the first articles were written, and he sounded rather a loner!
