(Patent Pending) !!!!

Not having a small block of wood handy to press down my scale ballast into the pva, I grabbed the nearest item, an AA battery !

Works a treat as a gravel roller.

Don't put it in your camera - it might never come out again.

I presume your layout is "OO" gauge Ray.  If it had been "N", you would have to use a AAA battery ……………..:roll::roll:

Not a bad idea - beats using your finger …….:cheers

Yes Peter, it is OO but I was using N gauge ballast!

The benefit is that the ballast doesn't stick to the smooth surface, unlike your finger.

How do you know that Peter's finger sticks to ballast? I don't remember him mentioning that. :shock:

Did you also know that there's a place called Petersfinger near Salisbury?

I did indeed TF.

I get royalties for it every year …………………:roll::roll::roll::cheers

Off topic completely but relevant to Peters finger!
A pub not too far from me. Just thought I'd add to your royalties!

Do they have a phone number so I can make my claim Scott……………….

That could almost be an old NE railway building ……..the windows and roof are very similar. :thumbs

Oh - nearly fogot - I do like the "Saint" bit …………….;-)

I puut my ballast roller down and now I can't find it in amongst all the dead batteries.

Does this make him a bright spark.

I'm positive it does, he needs to be charged with that.

Anyone seen my coat?

If anyone wants a ballast roller I have a great big pot of 00 & N gauge ones waiting to go down the re-cycling centre that I could let people have cheaply :-)

Are they flat Andy ? ..................:roll::roll::roll:

They are supposed to be round, Peter! !!

That's probably why my ballast always looked like the North Sea - I need a flat roller ……………:cheers

Just stuck my multimeter on them and some are flat and some are not quite flat, how flat do you want them, some are still reading a nominal 1v
:hmm

Warren, Just try them in a torch, the one that sticks is your roller, easy as. Jeff.

This could develop into a well charged thread.

Let's hope that there is some resistance.
