RMweb Premium corneliuslundie Posted February 26, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 26, 2020 I am still trying to work out which is the viewing side of Killybegs as the camera often seems on the same side as the backscene - which is beautiful. As is the 2 mm mill. Yes, it was in that shop yesterday. Jonathan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heaven knows, I'm miserable now. Yeah, yeah ... "I was looking for a mag and then I found one ..." Well, I guess there's nothing like being cheerful - and this is ... . Seriously though, if we're going to get "Smiffs reports", I guess it's better if they're at least funny. For some reason, this reminds me of when I popped into the Cardiff HMV, whilst on my way to a Barry & Penarth MRC open day a number of years back. I was checking if they had any classical music CDs worth getting - and then "Heaven knows I'm miserable now" came over the shop Tannoy. For some reason, I decided that I didn't much care for their choice of "backing track" and made a bee-line for the exit. Strangely enough, it seemed like just about everyone else there took a similar view - totally inexplicable ... . Huw.

RMweb Premium Compound2632 Posted February 28, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 28, 2020 (edited) Bit late to the party here: my subscription copy arrived several days ago. A fine issue - Killybegs is a work of art. On 25/02/2020 at 20:00, Hroth said: "A Simple Conversion" strikes fear into the heart..... Nobody expects the finescale inquisition. Mr Haynes builds and paints the Brassmasters Easichas for a Bachmann SECR Class C, in EM. The only disappointment there is that though he describes his painting techniques for the frames and wheels (the full Wainwright) there's not a good photo showing this off. Nice viaduct p. 53.
