  1. Rails have taken the dosh for these so can't be long now. Still chuckling over Empty to Margate 🙃
  2. Doctor, Doctor, give me the news, I've got a bad case of banger blues!
  3. Not my scene but to go with ABC for the drivetrain just screams quality (unlike the noise the box makes ;)).
  4. A smoking puddle I think? And maybe they mean whiffy?
  5. I did ask about some Stevenson kits in April 2021. I got a very quick and positive reply saying the ones I wanted were on order and would be a couple of weeks and gave a price. I replied saying that was fine and requested they let me know when in stock. I followed up a couple of times after a few weeks, then a couple of months with no response. Fortunately I found what I wanted elsewhere.
  6. Had my bi-annual test today. Turns out things are a bit fuzzy as my prescription has actually reduced a little bit. In theory that's a good thing but in practice I still need to buy new specs! Just for good measure my stigmatism (Is that what it's called) has apparently gone for a wander and is "the other side" now whatever that means!
  7. Not necessarily. It's preferable to do so but there's no rule against it as such, as long as regular leak monitoring is being carried out if it's a live enclosure.
  8. Is it just me or is this just a very expensive blanking plug? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/285711613037
  9. Wonder if they were having some asbestos removed?
  10. Drugs are bad, m'kay.
  11. I guess that's why searching 714 worked. I got luck I suppose as it was the first thing I tried.
  12. I saw that Nick had some useful looking poster boards - happy to say they arrived quickly, and well packed and should really look the part. I'd like to wish Nick a happy and long retirement.
  13. You can still get Postal Orders, but only up to £250 which doesn't go far these days.
  14. Interesting idea with the markings - on mine I just turn the allen key 1/4 turn each time but your way is a bit more accurate!
  15. I look at it this way - can I do better and quicker? No, so I shall wait :)
  16. Not an unusual situation sadly. Although I did receive some backordered bits from Dave a week or so ago.
  17. Obviously there's very few colour images available from when they were new, but there is one partial one here: https://www.steve-banks.org/prototype-and-traffic/133-teak-coaches Quite a bit of info here including some video -
  18. Phew, managed to resist long enough for them to sell out!
  19. Or, we want you to buy the manky ones so we can finally get rid of them?
