    Is wondering my RMweb Gold membership has bee removed even though I'm a paid up member ?

    1. Hroth

      Well, your gold badge is currently still being displayed so you should be able to access the "Gold Only" areas of the forum to check.  I'm a Gold Member too, but I got AY Mod to hide the badge as I wasn't keen on flaunting it at the time...

      It's all sorted now my rmweb and world of railways accounts became unsynchronised for some odd reason.

  3. CovDriver

      I've been tempted to have a go at a little project based on the cambrian area but the project can operate late steam and BR blue diesels layout thread will be started very soon

      You have my sympathies... last night I was sent o na wild goose chase from Crewe to Beswcot with the wrong loco, had to turn back and take it back to Crewe before working the correct train, which nobody had the wit, intelligence or decency to tell me about!

  13. CovDriver

    A nice little trip to Tresaith for a few days Dolphin spotting and a bit of sea air can't wait.

    1. Tim Hall

      Dolphins are usually fairly easy to see from Tresaith, we staying in the old Coastguards house about 8 years ago.

    1. Rugd1022

      Rugd1022

      You'll be tasting dust for the enxt three months, trust me, you can't hoover it all up!

      Dust is handy free weathering as I found when I accidentally cleaned my weathered "Hall" and found it was just dusty

      Of course, but I'm sure the owners will want them back at their base.

    Enjoyed a day at the SVR with my little girl and father in law and finally had the 15XX for haulage

    1. tractionman

      tractionman

      The SVR is such a gem, especially off season, it somehow feels more like a 'real' railway then. Just wished I lived a bit closer...

    2. Liam

      Liam

      Nice to hear you enjoyed your visit, the 15xx makes a great sound when working hard on six or seven coaches. :)

    3. CovDriver
