  1. Good afternoon all from the Preston area, am new to this so just learning the ropes. Also relatively new to the hobby, have been in the past more of a collector than a modeller but hopefully that will change if my ambitions is satisfied.

    Looking forward to seeing what each contribute to this hobby.

  2. Does anyone else frequently find themself spending longer (sometimes a lot longer) searching for something eaten by the Carpet Monster than it would have taken to make a replacement part?

      Me too, I could probably build and entire loco from all the bits that have disappeared between the floorboards. But what a triumph when your search pays off!

  3. Further to last night's announcement that I would today be announcing that we are going to make an announcement tomorrow still holds true. I'm also delighted to announce that Gold and Premium members won't have to wait until tomorrow for the announcement and that I am happy to announce that they will be able to access the announcement later today*.

     

    There was a small clue in yesterday's announcement so another small one would be to say it's 72 on the 30th November.

     

    *I can neither confirm nor deny that the vagueness of these statements is inspired by one of our members in the South-West.

      Can you please make the announcement in All Caps. Otherwise we can't hear it abroad.

  4. Who’s this Matt Varnish that seems to be involved in many  weatherer’s threads.

     

    He must be awfully busy, he seems to finish everybody’s models off.

  5. To make a fridge colder do you turn it up or down?

  7. Where the blazes is the 2022 wish list poll?

    No link, no pop up, the search is as baffled as I am. The thread has been closed to further comments too. I'm off to bed.  

  8. You are a philosophy graduate. Do you know if anyone has seriously written about the philosophy of modelling (either in general or specifically about railways) ? 

  9. Noooo! My ears are getting hairier! Which for someone with my hairstyle is a) annoying, b) ridiculous and c) an unnecessary aspect of maintenance.

      Yesterday biting your tongue, today getting hairy ears. Clues for an exciting new product announcement? 😀

  10. Hi RMweb!

    Need help to 'delete' or 'refill'  albums??? They are all 'blank!'900600749_LochCreaganRailBridge.6.DrawnbeforeDestruction..DJR(2).JPG.14ae71e943e6c345e487e33309caec40.JPG

      Sadly you will have to add the photos again.

       

      See: https://www.rmweb.co.uk/topic/171078-rmweb-change-of-hosting-missing-images-april-2022/?do=findComment&comment=4917642

       

      The old images can be "deleted" by clickin the cog wheel in the upper right hand corner of an image, and then choosing "hide". Alternatively you can hide the entire album by clicking "Manage album" on the album's main page.

       

  11. ....is so happy to welcome a second grandchild into the world.

     

    Such personal joy at such a sad time.

  12. Korean bot or message from outer space?

    1. Mikkel

      Mikkel

      No, I kept it in case you needed it when you woke up. But you were up early! Thanks for getting rid of it, although I'm still wondering if it was really a message from Mars giving us next week's lottery numbers.

      Congratulations. I suggest subliminal messages. Bib with a loco on it?

  15. RMweb is now, for all intents and purposes, unusable.

      Why not do something useful while pages are loading. I hear they need help finishing La Sagrada Familia :jester:

  16. On busy trains I take great pleasure in asking people to move their bags to make seats available for sitting.

      It must be even more fun on empty trains :)

  17. Today will be spent mostly avoiding doing things... :lol: How much mischief can I achieve in a 6 hour working day?

  18. I’m looking at a thread on RMWeb, my first visit to the forum in a long long time. Likely to be my last if I cant figure out how to get rid of the annoying video continuously playing in the bottom right hand corner of the screen. Please please can someone tell me how to switch it off.

  19. Spent all day taking photos of track ready for selling.

      Ah yes, the enchanted lives of railway modellers :)

  20. Was promised the Cayman Islands, but ended up in Canvey

      Mikkel

      Not to worry, I hear the Caymans are overrated. E.g. sometimes they run out of cocktail umbrellas.

  21. What does the panel think of using swede (that'll be neep to viewers up top, but who cares as they're rutabagas anyway) in a veg curry?

     

    The Mrs has gone off to meet her daughter in Malta for 10 days and left loads of veg that isn't pies, sausages, white bread or chips and I'm bu99ered if I know what to do with it!

      They seem to be more than content! Anyway Tim D, I was only joking about the Carlsberg. That stuff is only fit for Swedes, not swedes.

      Soak them in Carlsberg and they become more agreeable. We do it in Copenhagen all the time.
