    is thinking how great it would be to own a pub called either the Ferret and Dartboard or the Cycling Lion.

    Just bought a 1985 Hornby catalogue, don't know why other than I want to see the original Thomas models.

      I still have the GW150 Edition set, containing a King, 3 GW coaches, an oval of track, a 1/4amp controller, and a certificate.

       

      This is beginning to sound like The Generation Game....

      Didn't you do well! :P

       

      I think my first set was the Triang/Hornby freightmaster with Class 31 D5572. I inherited it from my dad, my own first was a tender driver FS set from 1993. I loved that artwork.

      I had the exact same Freightmaster set back in 1975, a present from a cousin who worked for BR!

    Cool, Train Simulator 2012 is on offer on Steam for £13.99! If I didn't already have the game I'd snap it up :(

      Ideally I want a tailchaser layout with a yard in the middle. I'm going to find get some measurements and sketch some ideas.

    ###### you rmweb, I model N and OO gauge, but now you've planted the seed of 7mm. I haven't the space damn it!

      ###### Heljan O gauge, buy an MMP kit!

       

  13. Coldgunner

    I gave in and ordered some more of the Peco wagon kits (N).

  14. Coldgunner

    Might just get a board and nail a temporary loop to it while I define a final layout design.

      Been messing around in XTrackCAD for some time, got a rough idea of what I'm aiming for now.

  15. Coldgunner

    lack of funds means missing Peterborough festival this year, being out of work sucks!

  16. Coldgunner

    Wants a new kit to build, preferably N gauge.

      thinking of perhaps another shed, a signal box or something lineside.

    Getting sick of this job hunting lark. I've done the described jobs for years, yet they still require a degree.

      Apply anyway, you may get ditched in the HR paper sift but you might get through..

    Is there any reported damage to the Railway and/or the mountain paths? Any damage should be included in that bill. Although its not just value, there could be criminal damage, dangerous driving and various other charges.

    I've currently got an 16gb iPod nano (5th gen). I previously used my PSP, Sansa Fuze and various non-branded players and can honestly say the iPod was the best purchase I've made. The Sansa Fuze keeps restarting itself, PSP was simply too big and the no-name players all gave up the ghost after less than a year. My advice is to not rule out apples products, although expensive they are built really solid. All my MP3's are encoded at 320kbps cbr and have never had a problem playing them on any of my players.

    Watching question time, a student has brought up student fees. Just need someone to bring up Iraq/Afghanistan and I've got a full house.

      I've given up watching QT, it usually made me want to throw things.

    Looks like a card kit someone has sat on.

    Same pratt again! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-15108712 I suggest that to save money they roll it down the steepest side, follow in the footsteps of L.A.D.A.S perhaps?

    bloody warm here, tempted to lay some OO in the garden temporarily.
