  1. Hi Phill,

    The remnants of Talacre are re-appearing as the Saltney Railway now, so we'll do our best to keep the spirit going. Struggling for space a bit though....!

      I know, I know but after a shift at work I come home to do a bit of modelling and I have to walk past my bench while plastering/painting/fitting new radiators/fittng new curtain rails etc...my bench seems to whisper as I go past "leave that and sitdown here instead, you know you want to....:(

  4. "Lining"..."transfers".....two words that I no longer think should be seen in the same sentence..now where's me lining pen? Could't possibly look any worse, even if it's me that's working it....

  11. 2 weeks annual leave? Where the 'eck did THEY just go? Starting back on a 12 hour sunday shift doesn't help either...

  12. 3 line blockages and 2 T3s on a monday night...more like a saturday night! Interrupting me modelling time. 12 hour Night shifts....tsk...

  13. 4 days in with the Statins break. Less muscle/joint pains, sleeping better, less lifeless. Even feeling a bit stronger. They can't be that bad surely?

      Yea, go herbal and watch the diet mate, but keep an eye on the levels, Statins are not the silver bullet!

      My GP also switched me to Atorvastaton as I had the same problems as you.

      Same here - passed me on a 1 in 120ish gradient.

  19. 56113 failed on Gresford Bank on 6M54. Poor driver has to tie it down, get a taxi from Gresford to Crewe, get a spare loco, drive it to Wrexham via Salop and go and rescue his own train. Not what you come to work for really! At least he knows where his detonator protection is.....
