      1960's/70's. And I should've really, but I was perusing the home section and it popped into my head so I just fired off the question as a status instead!

  5. So gents, who of you on here does resprays? If any of you could drop me a PM I'd really appreciate it! :)

      Lee Edmondson who goes under the name of Blue Eighties does a fantastic job of resprays and weathering

  6. When you peek out into the world, it's actually thoroughly depressing. Ashames me to say, but I'm far happier in my own little bubble than paying attention to the media and world events.

      Congratulations you will be a mix of uncle and brother and she will twist you round her little finger! Enjoy her growing up. My grandaughters are 3 and 1 so it has been a very happy few years

      Thanks Fenway, I already have 4 other (but older than the new arrival) little ###### under the age of 10 asking me to play with them, buy them stuff etc etc! All very individual little people

  13. Coming along extremely well Mike! Sorry for not noticing, I've been away on holiday so haven't had a chance to catch up properly on here, but looking good, keep it up!

  16. Just passed Dawlish heading westwards on the 10.06 from Paddington, very interesting to see the remaining repair work first hand. Dawlish town centre looked very vibrant and busy, a credit to Network Rail for getting the line open quickly to keep the fragile summer economy from slipping into the doldrums without the railway.

  18. Hello Charlie, Accidentally stumbled into this thread and I wish I hadn't now, you're going to cost me £140 now you b*stard! The 144's were superb so I can't wait to see one of these. I want to pre-order, but I just want to check that it's definitely when they're dispatched that the money is taken? And also, any chance of a warning about one week in advance of when the money will be taken/the unit dispatched? I'd like to prepare my wallet for the agony first! Thanks in advance!
  19. Bloody hell a 71. Thank you very much, you'll certainly be getting £130 from me! My wallet is screaming in agony, a Dapol 73, Hornby Blue Bil, DJM 71, plus I keep umm'ing and err'ing about a third EPB… PS, I claim credit for influencing your decision for when I suggested a 71 back in January in the wish-list thread. Thank you very much, can't wait!
  20. Managed to pick up the MDF for my backscenes for

  21. It's operational, allegedly been sighted working since it was photted at Cottbus on accommodation bogies. Supposedly snapped up by GBRf in their never ending quest for traction.
  22. Only been ballasting about half an hour and my back is killing me already

  23. Whole day to myself tomorrow home alone, looking forward to cracking on with weathering and ballasting
