      call me old fashioned but what happened to the good old P45? (best served just before Christmas!).

      P46 sounds better...it means you have another job lined up(P46 required if you haven't been issued with your P45 yet).

    A good afternoon's airbrush weathering: 2 prs of B Sets, a tanker and a dozen coal wagons. Stopping now - don't want the next lot to look the same colours and shades.

      Stay safe. And, of course, thank-you.

  19. M.I.B

    72XX and Dukedog on order. All paid for by not smoking. Feels worth it now somehow. Haven't had a new engine since 1982! -

      Well done mate, good on you! Smoking is evil, thanks to that my nan now has cancer, and my dad's health is bleak so I'm happy to read your progress :-)

  20. M.I.B

    The 72XX is now paid for, and Dukedog fund has started. Still miss the fags tho.

      Saw the prototypes at railfest, looked like nice models.

      Ahhhhh.....lovely fags......

      Never smoked! Always envied people who did, they had something to give up to save money!

  21. M.I.B

    Spent time instead sorting out "brown stock" and listing rakes. 3 SIPHON G and 7 full brakes going on the Bay soon :)

  22. M.I.B

    6 weeks without fags produced a new GW ROD. Dukedog, 72XX, another Hall (oilburner) are my next "incentives".

      Thanks. Hurts that I've worked for 25 years but can't get Dole.

      Surely you're entitled to something if you've worked for that long and paid your dues?

    4. M.I.B

      M.I.B

      Sadly not - I get a tiny pension from the Army which nullifies the dole.
