I understand all the best motorbike rebuilders use the kitchen worktops. An old friend of mine had most of an MG Metro in the front room of his house. His fiancee dumped him when he refused to get rid of it. He was a specialist at fettling engines, got banned from driving when he was clocked at 112mph by an unmarked police car on the M45 in what externally looked like a basic bottom of the range Longbridge product. 4 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time I was a student at university and got two of my mates from home to help operate it with me. Unfortunately it was the first time they’d been away from home and they’d had too much to drink and were out of their heads. Apparently everybody that day were playing with my head! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The name of my layout, a German one, was ‘Dragondorf’’, the name of some type of reagent I used to use at university. The place never existed but thought the name was ok as ‘dorf’ in German means village. regardsRobert 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the same thing, she must have known the 58 route well (though possibly not the same "58" portrayed by the bus) and realised it didn't serve the said layout name. Bit harsh to "have a go" over it perhaps; in our imagined world, the train service is diverted to serve the layout so why not the buses? "Well, Great Figment is a village next to Lower Denture so in reality the 58 WOULD have served it, if it existed." 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You always get one pillock who gets in the way of the photo subject and why is it always a fat bald bloke? Just spent a couple of exciting days on car park duty. Who is daft enough to hold exhibitions on cold and windy days? Otherwise it was a good show and great to see many RMwebbers there. Mr Dagworth was very kind and came up to man the DEMU stand , and visit Sheff Ex. He is confirmed DCC man but did say running a train of 3 DMU sets was easier on DC. I won't mention that the first train he ran was a steam loco and he broke the valve gear. All fixed so no problem. Kalt is cold.

I do like a green Western. I know there are the Dapol and Heljan Westerns but there is something about a Lima one when it is fulling a train that looks good.
