      That lot should be marinating nicely in your stomach by now, that is a good way of getting to the front of the any queues at the show....

      Given the weird factor, maybe it would work if you set it to broadband instead of miliband?

      Being slightly mad only proves your heading to normality - I myself prefer insanity as it keeps them on their toes ha ha :-)

      I thought you might of been soldering up some 2mm lattice signals...

    4. Jon Fitness

      Jon Fitness

      2mm lattice signals? With my eyesight I doubt if I could even find them on my bench if someone pointed them out.. You'd probably find a few traces of brass amongst the puddles of solder if I tried though...

  9. Cheers Mikkel...!

  10. Nice IOW walk today, St Helens to Bembridge on old trackbed, up Culver down (pint), Sandown (pint), Shanklin (2 pints) train to Brading, walk back to St Helens, (pint and dinner).

      Grumbling over. It looks like there's going to be a lot to do to put this right. Hope it all gets sorted ASAP.

  14. is busy trying to win at "trains chess" with ATWs units at Chester...I think ATW is winning though

      A combination of 175's breaking and a missing loco and stock. Oh and getting another couple of 175's on different services so theye'd end up at Chester to have the drivers seat warmed or something...

  15. Blogs and galleries...although I keep my threads ticking over, I've just had a prod to check my blogs and galleries. Umm..last entries were in 2012...oops.

  16. "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....

  17. is back on the 7mm signals....and may be building some....colour lights. I'll have to keep a semaphore on the go just in case I feel unclean...

  19. Is now firmly of the opinion that a good deed never goes unpunished. I will NEVER again offer to build an O gauge steam loco chassis for anyone. This one is doing my poxy underpowered brain in. I'm definately sticking to signals from now on..

      My late father's family were from Sheffield and if we visited (60s/70s), it was either the 'Hammer & Pincers' (Bents Green), or one of my uncles would take us out to 'The Barrel' Inn at Bretton (just out into Derbyshire), for a pre-Sunday lunch 'aperitif'. Just looked them up on line and boy, have they changed since then!

  22. Someone has kindly brought in a dartboard and hung it the messroom in Chester PSB. It's ages since I've had a game so I picked up the 3 and had a quick throw. It all instantly came back to me and it was the same as it was years ago. Yes, I'm still rubbish at darts...sigh..

      Wasn't that much of a pain until I spent 1/2hour chopping kindling for the fire yesterday. Put the axe down for 2 minutes, tried to pick it up again and couldn't even grip it never mind use it.
