If my father in law was still alive I would have asked him to write it out in Japanese Morse code.

jazzer Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 4 hours ago, Clive Mortimore said: Hi Jazzer, It is a Octave Mandolin, I know in this song she is strumming it but normally she picks it (I think that is the correct Bluegrass expression). It did actually cross my mind it might be some kind of mandolin, but the body looks a bit like a jazz guitar and I thought it might be a 12-string guitar cur down to 8. you can never tell what what these days with Keith Richard saying you only need 5 strings anyway . Mandolins give a nice sparkly though. Even gets Abe Laboriel up dancing : https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=youtube+sao+paulo+dance+tonight&docid=607992594060804587&mid=E5A8221F1FC9C3A2B417E5A8221F1FC9C3A2B417&view=detail&FORM=VIRE 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did have the odd trip on the Train to Didcot in the 80's, or about once a Month to Salisbury whilst the Good Lady went shopping. I never collected numbers back then, as I thought that was for kids, like I did at Heathrow as a 9 / 10 year old spotting Planes. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missed ut on the numers though ! I also noticed that both class 47 and 52 locomotives sound like class 50's in upon occasion. Gibbo. 1 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just imagine, those air-con Mark 2s were almost new then! A great many journalists could learn from John Stapleton's interview of young lads doing an oddball (though it wasn't so much then) hobby, without being at all patronising. I wonder how many of the spotters are still enthusiasts now, or are working on the railway or involved in preservation? They'll be approaching retirement age. 3 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting when you think about it, Peco track, RTR rolling stock (I know you have a lot of scratch/ modified as well) and not DCC, and it runs PERFECTLY without a murmur throughout. The Ratio goods van has turned out well, one of the very first wagon kits I ever built, the next one in the cupboard will get diagonal strapping on the strength of this. John. Hi John and All Until John pointed out the stock was RTR I hadn't really noticed I just picked two trains I knew (well hoped) would run well. So tonight's video, not so long and not so ambitious features 3 scratchbuilt locos and two rakes of stock under conversion, with one RTR coach. Enjoy. 11 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
