About Me

My photo
When i left school back then i was lucky enough to enroll on an engineering apprenticeship. I think this lead me in good stead. I was always one of those children that pulled things apart but actually put them back together again. My first engine given to me at the age of Seven, a Triang Princess Elizabeth. The rest as they say is History. Later in life i got back in to Model Railways and started building Pine Road. This could lead anywhere so i hope you enjoy my Blog.

A really handy tool

Every now and then you find a tool that you just can't imagine how you ever got on without it. I have had this for a few years now and is worth it's wait in gold. It's called a chopper, it comes with a 45, 60 and 90 degree angles and is very solid and well made. I still haven't changed the blade. Believe me, it has been used a lot. If i remember right it was only about £12. I saw a similar tool advertised in a recent Railway Modeller and it was £35, so this proved to be a bargain.   


I have just used it to chop out all the bricks that are on either side of the staircase on the footbridge for Parkstone, felt like hundred's but actually didn't take that long to do.
Just the girder section to do now and then a visit to the paint shop.
