  1. Splicing APA boxes together ain't for the faint hearted in this heat, I'm sweating buckets

      Plus you need 7 hands to hold everything in place!

      Very true Steve!

  2. Fantastic to see some shots of Marks Tey-Sudbury (my local branch) in BR days, keep 'em coming please Dave!
  3. What she order? Fish Filet

  4. Been a busy week - trainspotted around London, went to Dublin to see Kanye West, then went to Finsbury Park to see Kanye again Friday, only just got home tonight. Lay-in needed!

  5. Indeed, went DIT 47847 behind 66005 to Barton Hill. To be used as a Thunderbird for the seasonal Kettle jollies to the West Country this year.
  6. Off to Ikea tomorrow. Some APA boxes and LED lighting await... *evil laugh*

      oooh, do tell! I need another box myself but don't have Ikea in my plans for a while...

  7. This probably doesn't help, and I'm by no means a headcode-expert, but it's almost certainly a Chelmsford headcode. Despite being 70mph units they had booked work out to Chelmsford and Witham IIRC, so probably one of these workings. They've also formed reliefs in the past, can't remember where I read it but during one period of disruption, 3 sets made it at least as far as Colchester in BR service, so they were regulars East of Shenfield at least.
  8. I am now (subject to a medical) a Network Rail Track Engineering Apprentice! 2 years 'til I'm working on the big railway at London Bridge!

      congrats on the training to keep Britain moving and a great future ahead for you.

      Cheers yorkie_pudd. It's a great feeling knowing I'll be helping to keep the railway in good order, wanted to work on the railway since I was about 3!

  9. If I can find a cheap baseboard, I'm tempted to get a 153 and make a Modern Image micro-layout as a practice run before my bigger third rail layout. Hmm...

  10. I swear to God Samuel L. Jackson is in every f*cking film, last three films I've watched he's been in.

      He'd like everyone to know that he isn't Laurence Fishburne.

      Ever noticed how the purple Teletubby has a certain drawl?

      He was awesome in Pulp Fiction, but to me he's only in films because he's Samuel L. Jackson. Like, I haven't seen a film in while with him in that I particularly enjoyed him in.

  11. The Shark Brake in Dutch livery that has been dumped in the siding next to Platform 1 at Shenfield for as long as I can remember was mentioned on Anglia Gen a few weeks back with regard to being removed. Not sure if it's been moved yet, I'll have a look on Sunday when I go past!
  12. Minster's a rather attractive station... Certainly food for thought.

  13. Back from Greece, with

  14. As a Slammer fan I love the shots at Dover and Waterloo, keep them coming please Dave!
  15. Off to Greece tomorrow! It'll be nice to get away and relax after moving house last week

      But when you come back will you remember you moved and end up back at the old house!

      It's all Greek to me.

  16. Looking forward to your new project mate! Having grown up in Manor Park for 8 years (albeit in the 1990's) and being a regular visitor to Canning Town I'll be watching with interest!
  17. Ties in with the suggestion on WNXX that DBS might be offloading more 60's...
  18. Does anyone else on this forum love Kanye West besides me?

      Maybe if he had a Broad Gauge Rover he's willing to donate to me......then I could get to like him!

      Badly! When we came here we bought off plan, builders here were....slow, to be polite! A year late....

      Ah that's pretty sh*t! My Grandparents and I rent so its down to the whim of the landlord unfortunately.

  20. None of dem got de guts to rise it and spray

  21. I wouldn't waste your time even typing about him Jim! As you say he seems to wind everyone else up on WNXX anyway with the constant guessing about everything. He appears to be 17, so it looks like he may have fabricated that bit about his "line of work" to add a bit of venom to his threat... Others have tried to explain to him about his posting but he doesn't seem to have taken the hint, and if a bollocking hurts his ego so much that he has to resort to a ill-thought out threat, he's obviously not cut out to be on a forum, as you say. Shame really as aside from all that, he seems like a nice lad really! Anyway, the rest of us appreciate any little nuggets of info you share with us both on here and WNXX anyway, so please, keep it up!
  22. The one chief rocka, number one chief rocka ohhhhh

    1. NXEA!

      NXEA!

      I didn't think anyone would know Lords of the Underground on here! Although I was actually quoting Guilt Trip by Kanye West which samples Chief Rocka haha

  23. It's a God-awful small affair, to the girl with the mousey hair...

  24. This is one of the finest layouts on RMWeb IMO. Your attention to detail such as the oil/cinder/water patches on the platform road and your modelling skills know no bounds. You've certainly inspired me to be a bit more ambitious - keep it up!
  25. Any news on the new 70's due to dock next month?
