  1. Has the RMWeb 'marketplace' for selling models etc disappeared..? Was hoping to avoid ebay by selling what's left of my collection on here...

      I always did better with my sales on here ten years back than on eBay.

      Shame it’s not an option now especially when I have stuff to offload.

      A little bird whispered in my ear a while back that something of the kind is being considered for the future. Accordingly I am happy to wait as i don't like Ebay and Amazon has its difficulties with postage charges etc.

      It was great when it was private individuals selling stuff to like minded people. Then the professional sellers/shops came in and it was wrecked. Either back to original format or don't bother

       

  2. Glorious Maybachs beckon on the SVR tomorrow, I can feel the tingles already... are we there yet Dad...?

  6. Had a 'disagree' on one of my posts where I answered a question about livery time frames giving references to factual / photographic evidence... I wonder what that was about? !!!

  10. Really good to see D7017 on the Glos & Warks this morning, warmed the cockles of the heart so it did...

  11. Really good to see D7017 on the Glos & Warks this morning, cheered me up no end. More Hydraulics on the line would be even better!

      Big cloud looming over us at the moment, brought about by pig headed attitude from 'the fifth floor'!

      Gone are the days when a job on the railway was 'a job for life'... ;-(

  16. It's all doom and gloom at work, almost putting me off railways altogether... thank 'eavens for RMWeb, an oasis in the mire.

  17. Thinking of buying some shares in Autoglym - the newly acquired Rover eats polish...!

  20. RMWeb - can't keep up, can't keep away, can't remember where I've posted or where I read what but by the cringe it's a grand place to be just lately... ;O)

      Here's an update of the last 7 days Rugd1022: Blue = Good, Red = Bad but remember just like Soapland this isn't necessarily representative of real life.

      You overtook an E-Type..? Not very sporting of you old chap...!

  25. Almost went off railways for good this week due to monumentally bad vibes and low moral at work, but having just come home and looked at the good Cap'n Kernow's lovely shots of the Falmouth Branch am now perked up somewhat - cheers CK ;O)

      Sorry to here your news Phil, hope he's feeling better. Cheers chaps - been a really strange couple of weeks, job's falling to bits and nobody 'upstairs' gives a stuff... workload is through the roof, we're several drivers short, moral is at an all time low and our customers are getting the wrong end of the stick, thinking we're all workshy lazy ****'s! Talk about piggy in the middle...

      Sorry to hear of your news, Nidge (and your's Phil). Apologies if the shot showing the FLHH loco was 'fat in the fire', but at least we've got our relaying done. Even bigger job coming up on the Barnstaple branch in a week or so - 16 days of blockade and 9.3 miles of track being re-laid!
