MrWolf Posted April 28, 2021 Author Share Posted April 28, 2021 (edited) I have finally found a picture of the Forge Garage at Aston on Clun which is not emblazoned with the words "A plague upon the house of he who dares to download this image" or whatever... It's sandwiched between the Kangaroo Inn and one of the roundhouses. Note the large number of pumps doubtless selling seperate brands. Nowadays there's two and probably out of use. I have moved it further into the distance, on the edge of the village to the west of Aston Hall.

RMweb Gold Regularity Posted April 28, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 28, 2021 If a man says something and there is no woman around to hear him, is he still wrong? 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted April 28, 2021 Author Share Posted April 28, 2021 I think that you're all very cynical.... I remember someone who I worked with taking great delight in the fact that my then girlfriend had done a bunk. He gave me all the "I knew you were punching above your weight and it wouldn't last..." kind of speech that said more about his jealousy than my choice of partner. I shut him down with: "Tis better to have loved and lost than to be stuck with a fat girl who hates you and three children who might not be yours...." I can be a bit mean at times but I like to think that I am still a romantic at heart. 1 4 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the mother of a philosophy student friend of mine said to her, over something she was heartbroken about (not me): "Be philosophical dear, just don't think about it." She was unimpressed. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWolf Posted April 28, 2021 Author Share Posted April 28, 2021 My philosophy is that if we ever truly understood them, then the magic that has eluded artists poets and philosophers for millennia would be lost and mankind would be doomed. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Regularity Posted April 28, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 28, 2021 Every woman I have met had not understood that when asked what he is thinking about, when a man says "Nothing (much)" then it is almost certainly true. This little piece of information has saved quite a few relationships. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't cynical at all. As it turned out, every word was true, apart from the "might" in the "three children who might not be his" part of the retort. Two of them weren't.

MrWolf Posted April 28, 2021 Author Share Posted April 28, 2021 We seem to have wandered into a minefield whilst chasing philosophical butterflies. As I pointed out in paragraph one, post one, page one of this thread, it was the memsahibs inspiration for me to build another layout and post my progress on here. Which also includes talking to you lot... Hmmm.... 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWolf Posted April 29, 2021 Author Share Posted April 29, 2021 (edited) Back, more or less on track. I have bought a Ratio 553 signalbox interior and proceeded to chop it about a bit. I also have a whitemetal kit and whilst the lever frame is more compact, there's so much flash and deformation about it, I will just be raiding it for bits like the token machine, telephone etc. It's a pity because the metal kit is less generic. Like my childhood bicycles, I will make one that works out of what I have lying around. It's usually more fun, though in this case I won't be looking for a prize for accuracy. Having said that, you probably won't be able to see much when the roof is on, but an empty signalbox stands out a mile. As you can see, my workbench is meticulously organised....
