      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.

      It was certainly appreciated yesterday. It also added the finishing touch to the overall effect of the box.

      It's been going all day today too. Got a fault to look at later so at least i've got somewhere to defrost.

  9. Holy smoley. My stopcock failed to turn the water off completely. Amazing how wet one can get changing a tap.

      I know where the street main stop cock is so I can turn my property stop cock off as well. It is in the nature strip and it is about 10minutes of digging to get to it but you do need a spanner to turn it off!

      It definitely sounds like part of the National Rail network - a long expedition, all the way to the next station.

      Assuming it is the NVR, hiring in lots of visiting locos doesn't come cheap and it's got to be recouped somehow.

      From the people who will run the railway when the current team are too old or passed on? The industry will kill itself. Kids need to be encouraged.

  11. I was asked by a colleague to evict the residents and their cobwebs from a lineside relay location case. I now have a little finger the size of North Watford, a clear entry point and a temperature.

  13. I ws tempted by a second hand Deltic yesterday. Pinza weathered £75. I'm always wary of buying at shows/events but cation was thrown to the wind. Luckily it's near perfect and probably not even run in. I'm dead chuffed.

      That'll work. Slightly out of gauge when loaded flat but at 45 degrees or so they'll fit.
