    Was anyone here at the Wester Pickston Railway today? Specific in the Perth Model Rail Club house. I've left my grey rucksack there.

    measure twice, cut once, measure twice, cut once. Measure three hundred and forty seven different lengths, get them wrong each time and feel your sanity and will to live drain away.

      I've cut the end off three times and it's still too short ...

      I alway thought it was supposed to be "measure once, cut twice".

       

      Of course, it's always possible that I might be slightly mistaken ... .

    Spectacular. I’ve managed through my own crack handedness to cripple two chassis.

    I could never be full time football fan, every four years I'd curl into a ball and cry.

      You don’t have to be a full time football fan for that. Quadrennial fandom would suffice.

      Now might be the time to get interested.  Someone's kidnapped the entire Italian squad.  11 imposters have been playing really attractive football for the last 2 games.  No-one recognises these guys in blue shirts.

      That was my fathers motto, he used to end up with a lot of firewood.

      The GER one, during the tramway period.

    We were unable to deliver your package today because no one was available for signature. No, your driver when straight past my driveway without even slowing down.

      House names/numbers are a mystery to them.

      Because you weren't standing there for him to throw it at your head without slowing down.

    Hacked up a Lima J50 to make a Kitson, kinda ehhh about the results so far though.

      Anything done to a Lima J50 MUST be better?

  15. scots region

    Does anyone have a Bachmann junior chassis they wouldn't mind getting rid of?

  16. scots region

    Could you make an 009 diesel out of the Hornby Sentinel?

      Possibly using the cab and bonnet, but the running plate may be a bit large. I’d be interested to see how you get on

    2. scots region

      scots region

      That were my thoughts, scratch build the running plate and wack an N-gauge chassis under it.

    3. RJS1977

      RJS1977

      Probably easier/cheaper to use the Knightwing plastic kit seeing as you don't need the chassis.

    All of my Christmas issues can be summed up in one word; Yodel... I apologize for the swearing and the flashbacks.

      At least your's make it to the door, ours are dumped at a local garage for a kindly neighbor to drop off. This time its gone one better, Amazon says its with them, they say its with Amazon.

       

      Also you managed to get a hold of them? I just got told by a lovely, and very understanding robot, to contact the main supplier.

      The whole system is designed to avoid accountability when things go down. In that respect, the system works very well!

      Absolutely correct Horsetan!
