    Exciting landing at LBA last night. Not good when people are screaming and bracing for impact 5 miles out! Still, put me in the right frame of mind for Warley

      can't do that thanks to the BBC/Murdoch sellout, money better spent on layout than handing it over to him!

      as a Brummie all I can say is you'll have to be going at one 'ell of a lick' to make any impression on us :-)

    Is rail freight grey really wanted by N gauge modellers? Sales would indicate not!

      wondered briefly if this was an oblique reference to 'Red Dwarf X' starting on Thursday - some people have been so unkind to Kryten!

    "Some people use words knowing full well that maybe only 10% of the viewers or readers know what they mean. We don't. We speak the language that everybody understands. Instead of me saying that somebody was avaricious, I would say they were bloody greedy". Bill Shankly

    A few days ago I found a rather handy pair of mitre clamps for model assembly of one of the model railway shops websites. Obviously a must-have so, for some obscure reason, I decided to wait and order them the following day! Guess what? I can't remember which b....y shop it was. Anyone like to help save my sanity?

    is getting worried. First my better half says "I have earned my trip to Railfest tomorrow" then asks what my plans were for a model railway in the loft, sounds like I am onto a winner here!

      No, but I do idly wonder how long one uses this along with 'the late...' though. It must become redundant at some point surely.
