      'Good evening," it lowed and sat back heavily on its haunches, "I am the main Dish of the Day. May I interest you in the parts of my body?"

      The instructions on my Primus stove specifically say not to light it in a tent...

      That would be lighting within tent.

    Just pre-ordered a Rapido Royal Hudson. Never ever spent that much on a loco before. My wallet is in shock, and I haven't even paid for it yet.

      Is that loco and coaches?

      Now you know how I felt when I forked out £280, albeit I did acquire three Finney / Mitchell kits for that!

      Just loco. At the current xc rate it's around £550 with shipping.

    There was a time in this fair land when the railroad did not run. When the wild magestic mountains stood alone against the sun.

      Sounds like a load of arty farty avant-garde erudititude to me.

      Had the pleasure of meeting Dale at the Medford show a couple of times. He is considered the Babe Ruth of the model railroad world. A sad loss.

    Model Junction to the rescue. D'oh should have gone to them first.

      Their stock levels do seem to be accurate!

      Model Junction Slough? They're my local and very good. It's always like a gentleman's club when you go in there.

    2 weeks of modelling freedom now interrupted with last minute tourists. Crapspackle! Will I ever get a break?

      Crapspackle! Love it; new word of the week!

      Captain Kernow

      You should try the Crapspackle spell on the unwanted tourists, the results might make the effort worthwhile!!

    I plan on spending the financial year, dead. For tax purposes of course.

      They'll get you on the inheritance tax if you do.

    Standing on the platform at Sheffield Park yesterday and pulled a decoder out of my jacket pocket thats been there since Ally Pally. Could this be some sort of sign?

  17. AndrewC

    has totally lost his modelling mojo. Time to pack things away for a while and concentrate on other things for the next few months or so. So long and thank's for all the fish.
