  1. Nice to know that you were inspired by Ken, who I was fortunate to know. Indeed my exGNSR EM layout 'Kinmundy' used a slightly modified trackplan from his co-authored Santona book
  2. It was a pleasure to see the eager faces after finding another Easter Egg......! (Easter Egg No.10!)
  3. May I take this opportunity to thank all that came and saw us on Coniston Lakebank (stand 100), and for your kind words! You may read more about it in the near future.... Long live 3mm scale, 14.2mm gauge!
  4. If you're struggling, I have a colleague who is disposing of some....
  5. Must be lucky, as I had mine delivered Thursday! Did enjoy Steve Hall's artilce!

  7. But it isn't RARE!?? Or should I say, L@@K, RARE!
  8. Tony was a true gentleman and a great help to me and the entire York show. We had a brief meeting at Easter where he mentioned his illness. I shall truly miss his quiet dignity and energising personality. RIP Tony
  9. Don't forget the the ever popular Members Sales!
  10. Hi Had a similar case last month where emails were ignored and no update on the due date Finally received it 9/6 after paying 15/5... Turns out he'd been feeling unwell, but a quick message would have sufficed Just check if the item has been dispatched too, as this would indicate it's in the system
  11. I count myself lucky to have known Peter through others in the Model Railway fraternity. A true gent Myself, Karl Crowther and Andy Ullyott spent an enjoyable Saturday evening at Expo EM this year socializing with him and his exhibiting team, where the conversation was dominated by talk of shunters and vacuum braked stock Thoughts are with his family at this difficult time
  12. BUMP! Still some stewarding slots available Please contact me via PM
  13. Fancy Stewarding at the York Show? We are looking for a small number of volunteer Stewards to assist us with the 2023 show. In addition to free entry, you would have a subsistence allowance (free lunch!) and an opportunity to be part of one of the UK's friendliest model railway shows. So if you are within reasonable travelling distance please contact me asap!
  14. Any prefrence? Might have some spare-can have a look if necessary!
  15. Happy New Year to all!! As the title suggests I am after a Bachmann 08. Not really bothered about livery so could be black, green, green wasp stripes (preferred) or blue. Must be keenly priced and a decent runner though. Have a set of Ultrascale wheels waiting, And still a DC luddite, but if its DCC'd I may be swayed.....
  16. So shocked and saddened to hear of Chris' passing Always one of the first through the doors at the York and various Expo EM shows where I was present I shall miss his dry wit and generous nature. RIP Chris.
  17. Once you've assembled some-you will become more proficient! Trust me! I remember demonstrating assembly at the Nottingham show whilst operating too (but very slowly shunting!)
  18. Especially to the bar when it's your round......
