Re: Splash's builds
To try and stop the cables going slack I have use Cotten than added a coat of super glue to make it go stiff
My work bench is starting to look like Portsmouth Naval Dockyard.

Re: Splash's builds
I have heard that white glue works well also. Run the thread through, stretch it and let dry. If you need to bend around a pulley just dampen it and it will conform to shape when it redries.
The painting and wear/weathering is really great !!!

Re: Splash's builds
Cheers John.
This set of builds have really taken me out of my comfort zone, I'm much more at home with things that have rotors and fly.
I can now see the attraction of trains as some of the old steam trains can really let you go mad with the weathering especially at the end of the steam era.
