Try working from home full time with a wife who works in two jobs and a sibling who can work any day of the week.  None us of have any natural body clock any longer that can tell us what day of the week it is without looking at a phone.

Although I can't comment about anyone else, I'm struggling to remember the last time I managed to turn in before 3 AM .

I wish I could remain awake that late, my body now demands bedtime around 11pm, used to be a real night bird but no longer.  Evenings are now - eat tea, watch a bit of Youtube followed by Netflix on the TV then just before bed it it back to Youtube to watch the penguins being fed at Kansas City Zoo, then zzzz time.

Shall I get it out of the bin?

I hear that Great Western have ordered some - all a matter of scale fellahs

Oh! You've spoilt it now. I was patiently waiting for the next announcement.

Out of hand? That's an understatement.

You know us, Andy... we like to be understated. 

...   and it would seem quite a few people have used their hand whilst enthusing about your  about your products.

It's shocking that "he" has been in service for 41 years!

Hard to believe because the design still looks cutting edge. 

Well the earliest sunsets were between the 8th and the 16th of December so you would notice. The latest sunrises will not be until the 28th Dec to 3rd Jan

Don

Just think. You can now go home and have all weekend to relax & think about: Conflat "L's".   

I'd rather spend the weekend sketching layout ideas based on Wirksworth or Cambois while sipping on some Redbreast 12...  

Wirksworth. Now there's a layout that'll be needing a shed load of Conflat L's. Smashing idea! For me, long gone is the time of spending idling away all weekends dreaming about redbreasts but next model railway show I'll see how it compares to a good Tormore.

Oh ya wee tease.

I couldn’t help it! Hope to see you again at a show in the near future, Porcy!

Niiiiice

actually - good point - forget the 50 - I'll have a Lightning too!

just do a decent 40 lads..... stop messing with these prima donna locos!

Your not down in Acapulco are you?

Loco announcement for Warley?

No, Acapulco.

Looks great though.

Very cool looking wagon, am looking forwards to this. Cant wait to see how the silver finish looks

Cheers, gents! It does look good, if I may say so myself, but we want to make sure the production version is even better!

saddened by the passing of the bandit

The actress.

Aye, as I discovered subsequently. Ta.

see you there

i start packing the truck tomorrow for the drive north friday

Have a safe trip! You'll find me at the EMGS stand...

They are way too addictive.

They're called "health foods" - they make you feel good.

Tell us more.

Dundalk, Newry & Greenore six wheel coaches?

All will be revealed in due course

Is that for the one you announced today or are announcing another announcement?

The one for today. We'll give fair warning for the announcement of the next announcement by making an announcement.

Well there keeping you in the loop and keeping you in the loop and keepi...

It was, wasn’t it? :-)

Very sorry to hear about that. Where exactly are you?

It came back in the end. I’m on the outskirts of Dublin city centre, so any outage longer than 15 minutes is deemed a crisis...

I bet the skangers have tapped into emergency power supplies....

Move along....nothing to see..

Not long? Its a short wagon?

Excited and anxious all at once, Andy!

As for the bacon slicer, I'm still trying to avoid that...

Yep, so far so good, presented a positive view of modelling.

Watching

it too and also recognised Jenny Emily. It's a shame so many people keep quiet about liking model railways...

I'd also wondered how many of the people involved with this series are also members here.

Obviously, I'm mainly referring to the volunteers - but I'd be surprised if something like this were to be produced without at least some of the other people involved also being interested in (or at least sympathetic to) the hobby.

Now for the real question - what are they going to do to follow this series?

I doubt if anyone here would be in a position to answer.
