Non of it makes any real sense and now we have Covid-19 to utterly ruin everything, my only comfort now being that everyone in the whole world gets to share my melancholy this time around ! I feel that I gave that quite an introduction, anyway I'm staying wasted or not !!! Gibbo. I'm sure it isn't true that you've spent your entire life being wasted. You've obviously thought a lot about deep stuff - and made some great models on the way! The world isn't a particularly kind place I'm afraid. There are a lot of kind and decent people in it, but by and large they aren't the ones running the show - to get to be in charge you seem have to be something of a g-t, and a thuggish g-t at that. The best we can hope for is that the kind and decent people do their best for each other and provide some comfort. Plus that natural justice does at times prevail and those so deserving get their come uppance. However, it looks to me as if we may just be on the verge of a paradigm shift, that throws the neo-liberal cobblers of everyone for themselves that we've endured for the last forty years out of the window. Let's hope so anyway. John. Edited May 23, 2020 by John Tomlinson typo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I'm sure the Doc will tell us the full why and the wherefore but briefly it's a NSWGR class 422: https://www.thnsw.com.au/post/nswgr-422-class-locomotives Probably the Auscision model.

Normality and Clive Mortimore even trying to write it, they are words that don't seem to go well together.

RMweb Premium Alex TM Posted May 24, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 24, 2020 Hi, Is it an age thing, or does Patti Smith just sound better the older the listener gets? Or is it that the older one gets, the more she relates to life whether it's her own compositions or covers of others' work? (Philosophy/Aesthetics 101?)

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted May 24, 2020 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted May 24, 2020 Been and run some trains, still got modellers block. Some views of the station The Stanier big tank is the station pilot but with the introduction of DMUs it sees very little work. A Riddles big tank is seen snaking its way across the station throat before heading for Huddersfield. A Type 3 is leaving the diesel refueling sidings, it will soon back down on to an express for Hull. A Derby 3 car DMU and the BR standard 4 tank passing on the mainline. 9 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
