MrWolf Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Ah, you see when we ruled the world, people had a better grasp of grammar. Drinking tea from a mug... ....In a shed.... Drinking tea in a mug implies that you had somehow managed to climb inside said vessel.... So you have proven the point and I thank you.... Sorry, couldn't resist! 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If asked I would prefer my tea in a cup. Yeah, but cups ain't kosher without a saucer, which is a faff in a shed. And not very stable without, either. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Limpley Stoker Posted December 7, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 7, 2020 I agree -no shed would have cups, and instant coffee hadn’t been invented - so thanks, I’ll have my tea in a mug then I’ll drink my tea from the mug. I wonder when the crane will be back! 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KNP Posted December 9, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) After all the talk about the new Dapol Mogul here is my old Bachmann motor less one wheeled out (literally) for some pictures. Brought a few years ago at Alexandra Palace show as a complete model with a suspect motor she has given good if not static service since then. Had a bit of a makeover over the last few days with regard to chassis weathering and motion painting. 5355 Edited June 9, 2023 by KNP 25 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Your photography never ceases to impress. I shall be using that mogul as a yardstick for weathering mine, which still works. Probably still works.... 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
