  1. Andy, to increase site speed, might I suggest actually feeding the hamster this year?

      The Hornby site seems to be holding up rather well this year, they seem to be using double-headed hamsters....

  2. Who's gonna make the gravy now? I bet it won't taste the same. Just add flour, salt, a little red wine-and don't forget a dollop of tomato sauce for sweetness and that extra tang

  3. I see you've redecorated....
    I don't like it

  4. Time to blow the cobwebs off and get back into modelling over Christmas I think-too much time working 1:1 stuff.

  5. 'I'll never get involved with two different prototypes' Now biting back my own words.....

      Was this the result of losing a bet?

      It would be better for me if it was...

       

      Just the result of loosing the remnants of my sanity

  6. Life? Don't talk to me about life...

      I had a life once :(

  7. One does not realize the time and effort that goes into repairing, restoring and operating a full sized train until you have been a part of it

      It's not too different for TOCS and FOCS running old BR kit. Frequently we'd having to source spares from places like Harry Needle, refurb old parts, as well as getting parts especially manufactured as the Unipart spares run out.

  8. Ah, that's where I put my mojo!

      Could be interesting trying to convert it to P4.

  11. So, now the classifieds has closed, the most important question is: How many responses did Boris get to his original ad?

    1. Horsetan

      Horsetan

      That really depends on how you define soliciting.

    2. Dave47549

      I did, but Boris intimated that the sound chip couldn't be disabled. I lost interest rapidly thereforth!

  12. Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated (with apologies to S. Clemens)

  13. Mmmmm.....AD60 Garratt in steam. Nothing quite like it

      Lol, you can go right off some people ;-) I'm a Van Gisbergen fan personally..... And on that note, I'd like to say a quick hello to Levi and Chilli and off for a late breakfast....

      I think we're meant to be shifting blockages not creating them

      All about putting a friendly face on the door for newcomers but it should be of use to the old lags at the same time.

      There's demons closing in on every side.... or maybe that's just the rivet counters?

  24. Wonder if our resident horse specialist is watching the Melbourne Cup....

      I am aware of it, but I find Flat racing intensely boring. I prefer point-to-point and NH jump races.

    2. 69843

      69843

      Fair enough.

    3. Horsetan

      Horsetan

      Flat racing starts its horses far too young, and too many get ruined by the time they are four-year-olds, an age when they should only be starting to train.
