Great series of tutorials! All the necessaries covered. Gotta say tho, the last time I saw a shop like yours the guy was dissolving murder victims in vats of acid! Just kidding!

Hi Matty, I've been trying to re-spray some hornby mk3 coaches but I cant get the windows out easily. I have tried glue remover but it just dissolves the plastic and gets on the windows. I've looked online but nothing has worked. Do you have any advice on how to remove the glazing easily without damaging it? Thanks, Louis

Hi Louis, it's a bit trial and error really, some of the hornby ones seem to have massive amounts of glue on them which is most Annoying, the way I do it is to get a flat bladed small screwdriver under the glazing and pry them out slowly, then number them on the glass and the coach so they go back in the same place, there's not really an easy. Way to do it, I like to use la mk3 if possible as the glazing all comes out in one piece so makes life alot easier. Hope this helps

@@mattymidland1 Thanks for the advice! I'm using slam door virgin mk3s which seem to have a lot of glue on them so progress is slow, but i saw some advice which said cold damages glue, and they are coming out much easier after a few hours in the freezer. hopefully mine will turn out as well as yours did!

Hey Matty - been watching your videos lately. Nice selection of HSTs my friend. And love your layout. I am about to start respraying some of my locos and want to know where you got your "pan handle", I think you call it, from. I've searched up everything I can think of but not been able to find one like it. Any tips or hints please? I'm down-under but I have family in Scotland, so if its local, they may be able to get it. Any assistance you can provide would be great and appreciated. Hope you can get back on the rails soon (if you're not already) and COVID is easing up slowly in the UK. Cheers - Andrew in Perth (Western Australia, not Scotland!) ;-)

Hi Andrew, thanks for the comments, u won't be the first person that's asked about the paint handles, I used to get mine from a place called Eileen's emporium but it seems they haven't had them in stock for a while now and I cannot for the life of me find anywhere else that sticks them I'm afraid
