  1. Dammit, they look a bit saucy. im going to have to make up some excuse of a layout to put some on !
  2. Looks good , but very “ loosely “ I’d say
  3. It’s flattery I think, which I don’t see any issue with . Shell island is on my “ legends “ list because it is so artistically well done and it was one of the first layouts that said to me - you don’t have to cram every inch with track to create a sense of place
  4. There’s loads of layouts I’d love to copy - a lot of them BR blue and by people like Mr Futers and Mr Gibbons ( RIP). If I ever got round to it they’d be fairly crap copies - which puts me off as I’d taint the legends

    EBay madness

    Not so much an eBay nightmare but maybe shows the perils of charging full labour when making layouts professionally - makes even a simple layout horrifically expensive
  6. They are too busy nicking people building TMDs with 2000 LED lights featuring 1960 Bachmann diesel depots , and stuffed full of colas engines making a racket
  7. I’m almost certain it’s been mentioned , and it seems a popular idea
  8. Thats a shame, I don’t live in south bucks anymore but it seems with the loss of this, the one at Aston Clinton , the one at Twyford, it really is a desert of model shops. Cant even nip up the M40 to motor books or howes anymore ( excepting paints )
  9. Fair enough , I’m off back in time to shoot bill gates in the head with an AR15..
  10. AI……was I the only one to watch “ terminator “ .We re in deep do do ….
  11. Still looks like it’s on tippy toes to me - I think I cannot see a reason to move from Bachmann for this diesel
  12. Very true . For me the locos are the stars and not evoking the feeling of the prototype is like…Ryan gosling fluffing his lines ! I try to be humble though when I remember all those Lima I collected , great shapes but mechanisms not quite up to it for the 90s-2000s
  13. I disagree.In these days of laser scanning , CAD design etc and the fact that numerous of the prototype still exists , there’s no interpretation required….just accuracy . It’s not unfair in this day and age to expect excellence , especially for the prices we now pay - “ good enough “ just isn’t good enough .
  14. Be easy these days … “ runs as required “
  15. Nah - humourous more like
