In the heading banner you should see 'Settings' - click on that and you should get a page with a box on the left - 'My Settings' - in there should be 'Edit Avatar' - that should let you sort it out...

Also worth looking out for are Maun parallel-action pliers. Much better for holding items and squeezing things together, as the jaws stay parallel all the time. Some come with a very efficient side-cutter facility, as shown.

Good stuff, though - well worth getting the full set, although the medium (grey) gets the most use. I'm also a fan of the Swann-Morton Retractaway scalpel. The blades stay sharp longer, as they're not jangling about - and you don't find out how sharp they are when rooting in the toolbox..! You can fit most of the blades in, though the 'hook' one won't fit, and then etch the shape on the handle so that you can find the right one easily.

Garryson 'Garryflex' abrasive-filled rubber blocks. Similar to track rubbers, of course, but much larger and in various, colour-coded, grades and capable of producing a beautiful, almost polished, finish. I've had mine for over thirty years and I doubt they're even 10% worn yet.. Hard to find, but well worth looking for.

Excellent. It has me thinking about tunnels - are there any more, other than just the Phoenix Park Tunnel and the ones around Bray? Edit:- Apparently, there are - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunnels_in_Ireland

There's talk of opening stages in Yorkshire in 2016 - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-18945133

And yet some city stations got named, perhaps because there were several in some places. There seems to be much less of a desire to name things than there is in the UK - army units, hospitals, schools, etc..

I'm sure that somebody put a picture of 'Jess' up recently, but I can't find a reference... Maybe it was in the 'Photographic Websites' bit..?

You have me stumped! -
Was it this one? It's made from the Bachmann Amtrak/Union Pacific inspection car.

They'll be OK. I usually only wash them every four months anyway, whether they need it or not.. -

I saw - and handled - the pre-production one courtesy of the Train Man a couple of weeks ago - haven't washed my hands since.... -
CCTV for the far end?

Olfa used to make a 'Panel Cutter', a bit like a chisel with an adjustable depth-stop - http://www.mediamixhobby.com.sg/shop/olfapnc1.html - handy in these sorts of circumstances - I got one at a boot sale, but I've never seen another.

Surely there comes a point when the Council will be requiring the submission of Planning Applications..?

Do you have a cat? [video=youtube;5nTtOOKan-U] There should be some available in most neighbourhoods.

Good. I couldn't find a direct link to it.

I presume that we've all seen the Peco wheel cleaner that, with the addition of two croc clips, can clean the wheels, whilst they are rotating, by means of a scraper and a wire brush that are powered from the track?

Search for "32-750DS" in http://www.hattons.co.uk/

Never managed to see the Pistols, but saw pretty much everything else - really liked the Damned, Ruts and Lurkers - plus Devo..

Seamus has gone off for a fortnight now ( tax exile? ) and left some child labour to do his work for him..
