    Quote of today, via YouTube. "proof that rock is not dead. For every 3 Nicklebacks there's a QOTSA" that made me smile

      Jo,you are good on the computer,just supposing you designed a virtual, shall we say class 08, with a virtual motor on a virtual track

      powered by 12v DC and ran it out through the USB port. No ? Just a thought !

  3. Steadfast

    Done a transplant on my FGW 150 after the motor died at Showcase. All systems go for Saturday!

    I was sceptical, but the ipad ain't too shabby. A bit clunky in the menus, and how do I close an app? Google here I come.......

    Rods_of_Revolution and I had a great unplanned RMweb meetup at the Strode Inn at Cranmore today with Lyneux, Red Death and Grahame. Hope you enjoyed the trip back guys! It was a cracking day out

    Why is it the bargain Farish 03 I picked up for a bit of fun is now tempting me to buy some Presflos and model Bristol, 1973. Oh, and it's nearly dinner time, I'm 'aving hoops!

    Cantrail striping...once you start you just can't stop...

    1. Rods_of_Revolution

      Rods_of_Revolution

      Should I expect you to have a cantrail stripe across your forhead when I next see you?

      There are bits stuck to my hands now, so I could have already without knowing...

  10. Steadfast

    has been spraying yellow, blue and rubine red for the last few weeks. I'd better get the transfers finished...

  11. Steadfast

    It's F1 o'clock. Please, someone beat Vettel!

      Thought you were talking about James May for a moment

      Go Jensen!

      Yup the local lad done good. Watched James May whilst the race was red flagged - good timing BBC

  13. Steadfast

    The railworks SW1500 sounds sooo good!!!

  14. Steadfast

    The USB vacuum I bought in poundland has finally found a use - hoovering up after track cleaning! It's ace

      Laptop's still going ;-)Need a new track rubber though I think, the one I used went black but left the track a similar colour too

      weetabix packet or similar (the grey side down to the track) works as well

      Give the track rubber a good rub onto a old carpet mat. Works wonders

  15. Steadfast

    70008 sounded ace powering up at Thingley Jn

      Black Prince? but wasn't it scrapped in January 1967?

  16. Steadfast

    Long day at work, glad to be home!

  17. Steadfast

    is a bit burnt after an ace day in the sun at Knuckle Yard

  18. Steadfast

    Life's the pits...building Peco inspection pits :-p

  19. Steadfast

    12CSVT is very much on my mind!

  20. Steadfast

    can't believe Ford are trying to sue Ferrari over the name F150...so the car is now called the F150th Italia...Ridiculous!

    1. mozzer models

      mozzer models

      there have changed the name after ford sued

      Woukd you be saying the same if ford bring out a new BIG FOOT & call it a Enzo

    2. Steadfast

      Steadfast

      Ah but F150 is only a number. Well, with a letter. If I was Ferrari's lawyer I'd pointing out the difference between F150 and F-150... Anywho, the name is changed, from now on it's the F150th Italia. Still reckon it sounds a bit odd, probably sounds better in Italian :-D

      This type of thing has been going on for years. Porsche's original 911 was originally the 901 but they couldn't use it because Peugeot had registered the use of the central zero for all of their then current and future models.

    has lost the tv remote. I don't know how, I had it before tea,,,

      Ah, BD typed at the same time as I did! I'm sure I already checked where I found it. I blame the cats...

  22. Steadfast

    thinks the More Than Freeman advert's quite clever. Far better than many others 'gracing' our screens...
