The article in the latest MRJ regarding coaches, (Bachmann Mk1's), using Kadees inside the rakes looks interesting.

All the best.

I also saw E2001 at Rugby around that time.
Should have been preserved.
Best of luck with the move.
Legals dragging their feet?

Arturo Vidal!
He only played for Bayer Leverkusen, Juventus, Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Inter Milan.....
What did he play, Tiddly Winks?
or was he one of those 24 grown men chasing a bag of wind around a patch of grass!

C4388. Magnificent pair of trousers. Kim Jong-Un himself would covet those.
Better haircut though! 🤣

Whilst based in Eastbourne, my patch extended to Camberley. One day, in about 1977/78, after keeping my appointment I took the opportunity of visiting EAMES. A real Aladdin's cave of a shop.
This story comes from my wife. Many years ago, at one of her club meeting, she met the wife of someone who was connected to EAMES. This woman claimed that after EAMES had closed she "inherited" ( my wife's description), a garage full of ex EAMES stock that she still had. This story could of course be one of those Rosebud Kitmaster A3 moments.
Or the WD 2-8-0's mothballed in a tunnel somewhere!😀

We have a test track for N gauge, OO gauge and for EM & P4 gauges.
We have recently acquired the OO gauge layout Hadley Green, which needs work doing to it.

As Secretary of a club based in East London, we find it difficult to recruit young new members.
We are only in the low teens, in number size.
But our latest recruit is 100 years young!
WOW!

They need more ex-SAS on the Cargo ships with the fire-power it takes!
(Or ex Royal Marines. But one of my associates states, "No such thing as an Ex-Royal Marine, You Are A Royal Marine For Life". (He could do one arm push ups).

35yr old has just come back home for two weeks over Christmas with the front end of his car smashed in.
His Insurance is sky high already, due to misdemeanours, so guess what his Christmas present will be.
(A trip to the body shop).
Anyway, enough moaning about kids.
I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy, and, Prosperous new year.
Currently Drinking, a Very large Vodka and Tonic.
Bon Noel.

Good morning Mike,
In the case I cited (there are others), it wasn't a case of the bloke spending money on his hobby at the 'expense' of other things. He and his wife were loaded (they had no children!), but she just couldn't abide railways in any form.
Both are now long-deceased, but it's lucky that she pre-deceased him; otherwise everything - books, photographs, drawings, documents, models, everything railway-related would have been skipped.
Another deceased friend's widow, although tolerant of his hobby (and helping out at shows), at his funeral asked me if I'd 'dispose' of all his railway items, including scores of models. Within a fortnight, it was all out of the house, and before long I'd sold the lot (much to her 'delight' at the prices I got!). There were no 'money' issues (they, too, had no children), but she didn't share my friend's hobby, and all his stuff was of no use to her.
Regards,
Tony.
Children costing you money, surely not!

OO scale?
It's the gauge not the scale.
Scale is 4mm - 1ft.
