      Mildenhall is getting a new lease of life as they are moving everything from Spangdahlem Air Base which is now closing with the result that Mildenhall keeping at least one Air Refueling Wing and one Special Operations Wing.

      A good observation. It will gain the same status as the Wife, just attracting my attention when things need paying for.

      I pray he does - otherwise the consequences for a certain country who unleashed this virus on the world, could be nuclear...

      @Boris, glad to see that reports of your death have been greatly exaggerated.

    Does the MOD still have ramp wagons to go with it's WAFLATS and WARWELLS?

  5. LNERGE

    I have a kit of parts for a Westinghouse signal machine on my workbench. I also have stress levels off the scale and some bits left.

  6. LNERGE

    I know i'll change a defective point motor for one with exactly the same fault on the hottest day of the year. That'll be fun.

  7. LNERGE

    I must have spent an hour on the net looking for ETS jumpers for the ends of my Mk1 Bullion Van. Is it i can't see the wood for the trees or does no one make them?

  8. LNERGE

    It must be heading towards winter... The model railway has seen it's first movements since April.

      Hope you sent a pilot engine around with a brush to dislodge the spiders!

    Just about to install a third intermediate token machine in section. This has to be fairly unique in this day and age?

  10. LNERGE

    OO gauge inside. G gauge and a full size signalling simulation outside and I have to stay at home. I may cope. 

  11. LNERGE

    Where did that spring go from that adaptor base? It'll show up i guess probably jamming the mechanism on a loco or similar... No i've just knelt on it.

      I may have to solder on without her as she's not going to be home from work before KFC time..

    A missing 03 and match truck. I put it out on the main and it wasn't seen for some considerable time...

      Not in this instance. Mine just chew signals.

    A perfect day for a bit of modelling so i moved a signalbox. The police escort were keen to get away to deal with Eunice incidents.

  16. LNERGE

    A whole evening spent making a second hand Hornby A4 work. My paws are definitely not meant for handling some of those parts.

  17. LNERGE

    An extremely busy week planned. Perfect time to catch covid.

  18. LNERGE

    Anyone got a spare HABD? I’m currently trying to improve some Triang Ore wagons. Found some second hand wheels. Some had been given conducting paint to make the axle live for pickups. No problem. Only use one in each metal frame wagon to avoid any problems. Didn’t take metal couplings into account. Real flames. Melted insulation in a wheel set. Doh. Who says model railways aren’t exciting?

  19. LNERGE

    Aobtd. This one should go back togeter though.

  20. LNERGE

    Damned bug is still giving trouble. Another day lost sitting in A&E being prodded, poked and stuff being pumed in.

      It seems so. Apparently long covid is declared after 12 weeks. I'm not quite there yet and don't intend to be.

      Good to hear you are almost there. I have a good mate that says he is OK for a while and then jusy gets extreme fatigue out of the blue for a few days and then is OK again; fairly typical Virus after affects I think? Hope it sorts itself out soon buddy.

      Thanks. I can relate to that. The sudden wall of tiredness presents itself and I can’t get over it.

    Flippin bug has put me in hospital.

    I booked xmas off so loads of modelling time. Was feeling a bit down that it was nearing the time to return to work. Feeling down turned to feeling ill. One positive test later.

      Everything ok apart from it feels like my kidneys have spent a while being Mike Tyson’s punchbags.

      I feel I'm on the mend. Not so for Mrs LNERGE. Keeping an eye on the kids but nothing of concern so far.

  23. LNERGE

    I had some etched tell tale fittings for the end of Mk1 coaches. I've searched but I can't find them for sale anywhere. Any ideas?

      I found an etch at last (in the box marked coach kit bits of all places). Now I need to find where it came from so I can get some more..

      Yup I've started the process.

    I had to use the train. Twice.

      That sounds painful.

       

      Of course, my observation might have something to do with my past experiences of long distance rail commuting - or "transportation", as one rail operator appeared to view it.

       

      Well, they did seem keen to maintain certain traditions (allegedly) ... .

    I managed to solder the sole bars into the wrong holes. With the aid of a cooker and a few tools the day has been saved.
