      Not to worry folk - there's still Channel 81 as a football free zone and often with lots of scenic information for those modelling the '50s and '60s.

      I think that's the first time I've seen a cameraman wipe his camera while live on air!

      Harlequin

      Ooph! That wasn't a swear word, honest! Just an old term for rolling tobacco. (This is all getting a bit distasteful, sorry.)

      One secondhand item I bought did smell of diesel, mind you it was 1:1 scale and weighed 73 tons lol

      plarailfan

      Well over half of my models are secondhand, saving me many hundreds of £ pounds on new prices. Problems or faults are rare, which is ok, considering I take my layout to some of the local exhibitions

    Email from Axminster Tools: "Why Jamie went Spiral"... Didn't know they read RMWeb!

      sigtech

      Thats the end of all that- i hope!

  19. Harlequin

    Endless tedious conference calls provide a great opportunity to browse RMWeb. (Don't tell my boss, though!)

      It's when your boss says "What do you mean, oh no, not another bloody announcement" that you need to worry.

  20. Harlequin

    Expecting 3 deliveries but I've got to go out. How many cards through the letterbox when I get back?

      Have you had a spillage?

  25. Harlequin

    had a vision in the night of a big layout. This morning I measured up and it's silly but feasible.

    1. Porcy Mane

      Porcy Mane

      It would appear your vision was a constant loop. constant loop. constant loop. constant loop...constant loop.

      There's big and there's complicated. I always mistakenly tend towrads the latter, only to realise I've bitten off more than I can chew...
