Sun? Snow, on the way home. The A66 was closed, so went the A69 then A68 to get to the A1. The snow got deeper the nearer to Darlington I got, there was none just south of York. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted February 24, 2020 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 24, 2020 (edited) A new class B1, a Hornby one for a quid short of 100. £80 off the list price, not bad I thought to myself. I came home with a load of stuff from the Squires stand, tools, glues, plastic card, flush glazing for the coaches, etc etc I also picked up a few packets of Hornby coach wheels.

Having said that, they are threatening we might get a bit of white stuff here in sunny Bedfordshire, so I might yet be eating my words! Better bring some modelling indoors in case although I need to spend some time writing on modelling matters on my Lower Thames Yard thread after the family weekend meant I just wrote a few lines of excuse!! If I cant get too far on the modelling, I might have to take a leaf from your book Clive and amend the tread title to allow for non modelling posts! Take care All Best regards Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take care All Best regards Paul Hi Paul, I got flooded roads and then a load of snow, beat that ! As for changing the name of your thread I wouldn't bother. Most of the threads on here don't talk about modelling in any case, they do however moan about what manufacturers ought to supply them via boxes from China, cost over levels of detail gripes or somehow talk politics and whine at each other without actually mentioning anything or anyone directly. Should these cretins actually put that much energy into modelling then they could have a goodly fleet of partly painted cut and shut stuff like I have ! Ford Motor Company 30' container boxes at my house today. I intend that they will be fully painted and a trip to Halfords got me a can of RAL 7047 especially for the purpose.

No, except on 29th February, but only if that happens to fall on a Sunday. In that case, you are then allowed ten minutes. 1 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted February 25, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 25, 2020 Niece is getting married on Feb 29th this year. Bought a Kernow/DJM 1361 from KMRC this week, it's a bit quick and needs running in. Not had any snow yet, though did have hail this morning. No flooding at home, but we are 335ft up, on top of a hill. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only ask because with your knowledge of such rules and your ability to persuade the rivet police the guilty defendant is only a mere guilty pillock and a victim of his own circumstances.

Perhaps I should remind you also that I spent far more of my career prosecuting than I did defending. 4 2 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gotta say simply referring to "music" in the title of your layout thread gives absolutely no warning as to the sort of music one encounters on your thread! I have never heard of most of the bands you introduce - let alone the ones you say exist in Australia. But as I have said before it is an education and the older one gets the more you have to embrace new experiences! So I continue to keep an open mind about the music content of this thread. Don't ask me to hum any of the songs though! 4 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tallpaul69 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Hi all, And now for a complete change of topic...…….. Any of you got experience of using a 3D printer?

Hi Gibbo No effect at all, my warped imagination resulting in the fifth dimension appears not to be effected by anything that is related to reality.
