That's strange that they've disappeared from Lincolnshire, they had them when I lived in Cleethorpes. Must be a consequence of Brexit?

When you have been a member of a good club, full of good modellers and most of all good mates since 1980 to be playing trains by yourself on a Monday night is quite lonely. I could have told the boss that were not to move but I am not that brave. Got to look on the positives, I look back at all those good years of being a Witham club member with fondness and today I have a layout that no way would I have had if we carried on living in Essex. Nothing to stop them descending on the Ranch, to operate Sheffield Exchange and help muck out the 'orses. 1 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 (edited) Since leaving my Club I miss the Back biting, bitching, moaning and lack of real modellers, (one guy was laying some NEW Peco track and putting 3/4 inch Nails through the middle of the sleepers, not even pre drilling, until they depressed the centre and lifted the outer portion). I also get more real modelling done at home now. Clive YOUR Train Set has to be the ultimate in boys toys and fun to play with WHOOPS operate.

Like you, I could never have done what I'm doing now if I'd stayed where I was and life here is good in every way. I do, however, wish I could find a Star Trek transporter to take me instantaneously to other places from time to time - or perhaps I'm just being greedy. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel for those who today should be happily displaying their hobby to the public not counting the loss because of a mindless act. Truly dreadful act of vandalism! I've posted a link to a Rod Stewart video having just heard on the radio that he has donated £10K to those effected by the vandalism, Rod has a love of model railways, a nice gesture! 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am also a member of a motorcycling forum and somebody with no connection to model railways mentioned it on there saying the culprits should be castrated with a broken bottle. I won’t comment on the violent suggestion but it does restore ones faith in human nature a little when this sort of support comes from outside the hobby and from people like Rod. , 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
