charliepetty Posted August 24, 2013 Author Share Posted August 24, 2013 I hope the container ship's captain has plenty of string to hold the halves of the ship together if it breaks in two Asked the Chinese about extra string and they confirmed clearly, they said: We understand, we hoppy, you hoppy soon, string! what is string, do you not mean tring, as we have tring, can we give extra tring, ok we provide tring, how many tring do you use now. We need you tell us as we have tring hear soon, we order tring for us to give you plenty tring. You hoppy now? MY REPLY: Sorry tied up up the moment, Will tring you back! THERE RESPONSE: Thank you Chorley, you call soon, we busy messing other customers about with incorrect delivery dates, we happy that you hoppy and when you receive your 441 muddle, you be very hoppy. Why does captain of boot look for underwater boot, we send on big ship, Hi-Cube containers leak underwater. This is why all your 441 muddles are in clear plastic bogs, clear bogs mean you see soon. GREAT: Perfectly understood, this might sound silly, BUT conversations in English to a Chines Guy can end up this way, HONEST! Charlie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted August 28, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 28, 2013 Charlie kindly loaned me one of his review batch of 144's to test on New Bryford. Although I've regularly had my hands on the various devlopment units, this is a full production item and has never been out of the box Straight out of the box, it runs smoothly and managed to negotiate some less than perfect tracklaying on New Bryford. Peco code 75 medium pointwork on the scenic sections and a mix of curved and short radius code 100 in the storage yards. In both powered car leading and trailing modes it ran well with the only derailment occuring when I managed to run it through an incorrectly set point....... I've fitted it with a standard DCC decoder, but hoping that Charlie will lend me a Loksound micro before the upcoming Blackburn exhibition, when it can get a full workout. Here's a dodgy phone pic of the 144 looking at home on New Bryford. Charlie and Arran have every right to be proud of their baby that has gone through a long labour!
