SOS Junction. If anything happens would someone wake me up please..

Born late '68, although I've just celebrated my 10th 39th birthday.

 

Mrs Dubya's 39 too, oh and her mum and sisters...

[Captain Kernow]

I'm older than some and younger than others.

G'Day Folks,

 

Jan '51, makes me feel old.

Ah yes. That was it. Many thanks. The boxes were for PG; of course. That puts that to bed as they say in the Navy. It was those boxes I managed to get from Mark of Mark's Models who went a very long way to get them for me and if anyone wants any then do contact him as I believe he has a 'batch'. MK 1 boxes would do however the ones from Mark are a good mould from resin and easily fettled. 

Brilliant.

Or did you mean Mike from Marc's Models?

Look here you lot I was supposed to be doing stuff on my layout, OK I done a bit. I recovered some switches from the control panels off two of the layouts I scraped before we moved.  And got a Gaugemaster hand held working again, so that is six controllers for one layout when I only want four. Burnt me fingers on the soldering iron, Mrs M gave me a cold damp cloth, I thought it was to cool my fingers where I burnt them. No to clean up the blood from when the folders attacked me.

 

Well apart from being side tracked into looking for stuff about Bulleid coaches and fighting things falling from on high. I have been looking at a Railroad Black Five I have, some bits of plastic, and an LMS diagram of a Caprotti Black Five. Would you believe it no one has chopped a cheap Hornby model into a Caprotti well not on here. There a few threads on building a Comet kit but after all the willy waving about soldering kits on Sir's thread, I'm going to make a steam loco with plastic. 

 

I also cooked the pasta bake for tea, burnt myself on the oven.

[Tim Dubya]

We're not able to use all the buttons at one time but FYI you've earned them all in that one post Clive.

 

Well done old bean!

[Oldddudders]

I was born in the year the railways were nationalised......

So was I. I've corrected my post about my visit to Looe, it was 1963.

Phew someone older than me ( just!)

[145 Squadron]

OK. I have a pic of an unmodifeid (pre 1959) Tavern and it has boxes and not the tank. Propane must have been introduced when they did the kitchen and fittings upgrade? I've now completed the UF including the lower step on the solebar beneath the central doors on both sides. I've not seen those on any kit builds I've seen (awaits hundreds of photo's from those that have done that   )

You are too young.....far too young younger than my youngest son.

Q3 of '52 here, same year as my partner although she is older than me

Oh ti#s. That is very nice and reminds me I should probably have just one of those. However it ain't a Tavern but I do thank you from the heart of my bottom.

That be a D2660 RKS/U and tended to work on the Southampton and Bournemouth routes. Very handsome coach and reminds us all that MK1s were very much based on Bulleids (and somewhat the later LMS and LNER steel framed designs) but with steel frames of course.

Now, I wonder which kit/sides they are; long gone Southern Pride maybe; Bill Bedford (Mousa) sides? Great paint job too.

November ‘42, I went to the 24hrs at Le Mans the first time in ‘63

I had no interest in trains, ours were all dirty green electric things with doors you could swing open as they approached the station.

Lucky so and so! The first of the rear-engined Ferraris, the 250P!

[Ashley Bridge]

After the first couple of hours, you didn’t have a clue what was going on. The hourly updates in English over the Tannoy started mid sixties, if I recall.

We still go every year, Radio Le Mans and the huge screens keep you updated now, and the weather always keeps it interesting.

[LNER4479]

I was born early summer 1963.

 

Hmm.. about the time Mrs4479 must have said to Mr4479 'I'm feeling a little randy, do you fancy an early night?'

 

Not sure how Randy felt about that...

[The Blue Streak]

Nearly the youngest here, Sept 1967 and SWMBO is always telling Me to grow up!
