  1. That sinking feeling you get when...

     

    You know it's bin day, the leaflet says it's bin day, the website confirms it's bin day but the road is empty and you're the only person putting your bins out.

      @Captain Kernow Tubs? Luxury! We have now got wonderful useless bags for the cardboard that can end up in a different postcode on a day like today.

  5. Good afternoon Andy. I appear to have been blocked from posting on the "Things that make you smile" page. I have no idea why; I haven't posted anything which contravenes the rules. Would you please be so kind as to reinstate my access. Many thanks.

      Several posts you made did break rules and were reported. Hence removing the access.

  9. Hi, can you point me in the right direction for signing up as a paid user for RmWeb, I must be thick I can't find it anywhere.

    Thanks

    Dave.

  10. Thank you for your responses to my jokes. Foe some reason Andy Y seems upset by some of them and has restricted my access. I thought I'd let you know in case he bars me completely because I have questioned his reasons and suggested that would have been courteous to have notified me, especially in view of the fact that no warnings or restrictions are listed against me on my profile. It seems rather high handed to me. Thanks again.

      "seems rather high handed to me" - you are really not helping your cause here.

  11. Hello Andy.

    I'm sorry to trouble you, but am new to the site, (joined in November last year). For some reason the "Reply to this topic" options are no longer available to me on the forum jokes page. It is available in all other topics on the web site. I have been seeking advice from other users under the "Things that make you smile" section, (on the assumption that like minded people would be using both sections), and have been advised to contact you this way for assistance. Thanks in advance.

      As posted in that topic...

       

      If you'd read and abided by what's in the red bar I wouldn't have removed access to post in the topic - many posts were getting reported by other users as inappropriate.

  14. Hi Mick, can you tell me if you are still looking to build a model of Easton and what progress you have made.  We are considering something similar and would love to see some of the photos that were in this post but have since disappeared if possible.

    Many thanks

  16. Further to last night's announcement that I would today be announcing that we are going to make an announcement tomorrow still holds true. I'm also delighted to announce that Gold and Premium members won't have to wait until tomorrow for the announcement and that I am happy to announce that they will be able to access the announcement later today*.

     

    There was a small clue in yesterday's announcement so another small one would be to say it's 72 on the 30th November.

    Wheeltappers refused to load .

    Cannot find prototype questions.

    I use an old tablet. Is it me?

  22. Hello Andy

     

    Just wondered if you'd seen my message I sent on October 27th....

      No PM received then John, I've sent you a message.

  23. The new Class 73/1 model is superb, it looks great, and it runs beautifully (I have only used DC) but there are two issues that perhaps need to be mentioned. Firstly, the buckeye couplings are situated at a different height from those attached to Lionheart coaches, so the locomotive cannot be securely coupled to them (the draw-hooks are virtually impossible to access for practical purposes with a three-link coupling). Now I don't know which couplings are at the correct height, but there perhaps ought to be some standardisation agreed between manufacturers, particularly as modellers are likely to have invested quite a lot of money when buying their rolling stock from more than one source. The other issue is the (lack of) clarity of the instructions for attaching a decoder and sound system. The colour images of the decoder and the inside of the body-shell on the inserted leaflet in particular have been printed at such a small scale that it is impossible to see any details properly (remember the ages of most potential owners!), so it would be very helpful if on-line assistance could be provided in the form of larger (and better lit) illustrations so that the pins may be seen clearly, and with sequential, clear, instructions about how and exactly where to connect the ESU LokSound VS XL decoder to the EM2 speaker wires. Not all purchasers will be experts in DCC, or indeed be experienced in performing fiddly soldering tasks, and I for one, do not wish to destroy my new decoder. A better option still would be for Heljan to sell sound-equipped models at a higher price - given the ready availability of sound-equipped models elsewhere, I think that you might have missed a trick here. This model has undeniably set a new benchmark for Heljan to live up to!

      @David Element - it means that Ben may not notice it. You would have been better sending a private message where a notification goes to his email inbox.
