RAILS IN SCALE
http://railsinscale.blogspot.com/2014/11/hi-all-it-has-been-long-time-without.html
Sunday, 23 November 2014. Hi all - it has been a long time without a post! So I will just cut to the chase! I got out of hospital about six weeks ago and have not done much model work of late. I have had back problems for about 10 years and was helping a mate out in his workshop part-time. He needed an experienced mechanic to help run the workshop, and I enjoy working as a mechanic, as it has been my trade for 25 years. Some time ago, however, it is now. Finished, and I may someday display it at a show.

RAILS IN SCALE: NSWGR 47 Class loco weathering.
http://railsinscale.blogspot.com/2013/08/nswgr-47-class-loco-weathering.html
Monday, 5 August 2013. NSWGR 47 Class loco weathering. Again way to much time has passed since my last blog posting. However I have been so busy, with my 75 year old father taking a fall and hitting his head, which put him in hospital for a week. Things have just been crazy! This time, however, I decided to match the weathering to the model, rather that just use it as a general guide. I must say a "thanks" to Railway Digest for tracking. Monday, August 05, 2013. 5 August 2013 at 22:31. Hi and welcome to ...

RAILS IN SCALE: October 2013
http://railsinscale.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, 24 October 2013. On Track models NHEF Hopper - weathering tips. I have another weathering "how too" guide. This time, it's for the NHEF coal hopper RTR by On Track models. I have weathered one and posted it on my facebook. Page as I was asked by a few people to do another "how too" guide. So.lets get started! Is also s pecifically. Formulated to adhere to plastic surfaces! It is about your best shot for painting Acetal polymers like Delrin bogies. Now I gloss coat the model, and as you can see ...

RAILS IN SCALE: January 2013
http://railsinscale.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Friday, 18 January 2013. As most of you know I have had some major computer problems that have caused me some big time headaches! I do have printed copies of instructions and signs, so at least I will have something to go off, as I redo everything. I wish I could just scan it all but the images are not clear enough. Once again I thank everyone for their patience and will do my best to get orders out ASAP. It came in the form of a Laser rail bits, timber tank stand. You'd be a Galah to drink that water!

RAILS IN SCALE: May 2012
http://railsinscale.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, 26 May 2012. Finished coil wagon sample. At last I have a sample to show! I regret to say the price has gone up. The lost wax brass castings were not the only change made to the kit, I have made a number of new parts in white metal instead of polyurethane. This has brought up the empty weight of the model and also replaces some of the polyurethane brackets that were so small they were prone to breakage. Price on coils will be announced soon. Saturday, May 26, 2012. Friday, 4 May 2012. The coil ...

RAILS IN SCALE: August 2013
http://railsinscale.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 13 August 2013. Road bridge kit - released on Ebay. I have released the first of the two bridge kits on EBay, and I have added some photos of the finished kit. The bridge kit is based on the Lions Rd-Cougal Northern NSW, border loop area. However it would look at home over any creek on most Australian themed layouts, and perhaps, other layouts based on a different country. It appears the pre-existing roads may date back to the late 1800's and were mostly used for logging. Tuesday, August 13, 2013.

http://railsinscale.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, 11 July 2013. Better late than never! It's about time I updated my blog - better late than never! I have been very busy of late with two stints in hospital not helping. I have managed to keep my Facebook. Up to date with new Rails In Scale kits and detail items. My work on the coil wagon kit continues, with much progress being made. I hope to have the re-release kit ready soon. In the RIS range of signs, there are five new sets available from petrol stations signs to cigarette billboards. Thurs...

RAILS IN SCALE: July 2012
http://railsinscale.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, 19 July 2012. I thought it's about time I gave you all an update on the coil wagon - they are almost ready for release. I'm waiting on a order from KD for the couplers. It has been almost two weeks since my last contact with them, so I emailed them again yesterday and have almost got everything sorted. I just sent my payment info so I hope to see something in the post this week. It bonds to the model well, and is so simple to apply with a soft but stiff brush ( I usually shorten the bristles)&#...

RAILS IN SCALE: SDS Bogie Cattle Wagon
http://railsinscale.blogspot.com/2013/10/sds-bogie-cattle-wagon.html
Saturday, 19 October 2013. SDS Bogie Cattle Wagon. Just thought I would do a short post on the SDS Cattle wagons. I used some of the SDS models for demonstrations in weathering at the Sydney Model railway exhibition and I was impressed by the detail of the models. The roof has all the detail cast in place like the weathered timber, with what is left of the "Malthoid" or "Duroid" bituminous paper strips used to seal the timber planks. I will announce the roof release on Facebook. Saturday, October 19, 2013.
