Deere-est Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 now looking for some orange cotton. Another idea. .. .stolen ... ... :'( :'( :'( :'( Hey OF if you get a drinking straw or something, cut it down to size, wrap orange cotton round it and bobs your uncle. . . Twine rolls. Get clever with it and tie two together with black cotton (steel banding) and you could stack one of your pallets up!! What am I saying, information like this costs a fortune!!!

Mike R Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Looking good old ford thats my next step the loft i have all my ertl artics up there stored at the moment My loft is big and I am hoping to have another large layout up there say 12 ft x 18 ft and i wondered if i would need to insulate the roof its all floor boaded and the roof supports are across the cente which leaves a large open space. at the moment full with junk needs sorting.
