Having a little bit of track to ballast, I've been experimenting with a few options, and would be grateful for the insight of fellow members! Initially, I did a siding with Gaugemaster http://www.gaugemaster.com/item_details.asp?code=GM114&style=&strType=&Mcode=Gaugemaster%20GM114 It went down well, looks like irish ballast (being multi coloured natural granite) and took the glue from the dropper without movement, bubbling, etc. Next, I tried Woodlands Scenic's Grey Blend. This went down ok, but didn't cover as well as the Gaugemaster, and trying to dropper glue resulted in bubbles and the gluw rolling off the ballast. I next tried to spray the ballast with 'wet' water, which resulted in clumping and the whole thing looking like muck a little I droppered the glue in anyway, and will photo both sidings once everything is dry in 24 hours. Just wondering what other's ballast experience has been - from my tests, I think I'll be going with the gaugemaster for the rest...

Amen Master! -
untilUlster Folk & Transport Museum Ireland's biggest one day model railway exhibition will feature over 30 railway layouts and associated exhibits. This Bi-annual exhibition is well worth visiting. Held in the Railway Hall of the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum you can see the real thing and the models too - Scale 1:1 and everything in between. The Museum is beside Cultra Railway Station.

Yea, but looking at the videos and photos, you'd -have- to have the pullman too!!! Maybe we need to start a lotto syndicate -
That the Dapol little hoover - does it work?

The layman's version is 'It should now be a wee bit faster and able to handle more people at once'

There's no amount of technical wizardry will fix that I'm 'fraid

Ok all done For those technically minded, the server is now running NGINX to handle all the PHP and dynamic stuff, and Varnish CACHE on the server also. Based on third party tests, the home page load time has gone from an average of 3 seconds to 1.2 seconds, and the cpu and ram usage has dropped by half If you spot anything banjaxed, let me know Otherwise, hopefully, things should be a little nippier from now on.

Hi all, just to advise I'm doing a little 'back room' work on the server today, there may be a few momentary blips as services are restarted

I'd certainly love a 4 car dart, if not two!± Would give me a great reason to build some OHLE on the layout
