RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted August 7, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 7, 2018 Perhaps his name is Jean, not Short?

What is the world coming to? :scratchhead: 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Tim Dubya Posted August 7, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted August 7, 2018 (edited) Perhaps his name is Jean, not Short? Are you thinking of Farthing & Short, purveyors of the finest quality white goods and all things electric (all 3 of them) ? No idea if they are still there in Midsomer Norton, I moved to Bath just before the actual supply of electricity reached there.

RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted November 17, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 17, 2018 (edited) Wot ho, Mr Dubya. What's occurring then? Edited November 17, 2018 by Captain Kernow Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Tim Dubya Posted November 18, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 18, 2018 Thank you for asking Sir, Well, not much at all in the way of train sets really, in fact the nearest I've got anywhere near anything like one is the purchase of a book by some chap called Castens about an old midland locomotive and some crazy Vicars. Other than that, I've been creating a money pit in the form of building a brand new (and up to date) computer. I must apologise to all the chaps for jumping off on massive tangents and disappearing occasionally, although some whinging going on over on the EM-Gate thread coincided with me having the odd browse the other day. I couldn't leave without comment. TTFN Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Tim Dubya Posted August 27, 2021 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted August 27, 2021 (edited) Don't get too excited but... It's going to be a bit longer but not as fat. Earlier this week I gave some geezer £324 sheets for a pile of wood. He's going to fry them up and post them to me in about 5-6 weeks. Today I further rinsed my bank account to purchase an EFE Gate Set from those Cornish bu99ers and a Black Motor from Spare Peter's. That is it for now...

Thanks Rob, One of the original boards is now the surface of my workbench-in-a-cupboard, which I built last summer. We had the house completely rebuilt last year too, jacked the top up, removed and rebuilt the walls and dropped the top back on. I took some extra days at work two years back and haven't really had much time, which has taken it's toll but I've kicked that in the arse and got the Horn. * The new boards will have a permanent home across the width of the back bedroom, 9' total (6' scenic). This was imposed on Mrs Dubya... but she gets the room decorated* whilst she goes on holiday to Malta, the week after next. * I have just had a Weston's order delivered, so I can't guarantee this will actually happen. No breath holding, I'll be back, hopefully a damn sight quicker than the last time. * that's Pete in the picture, I don't know him but he's there for illustration purposes only.

But those two don't don't go together you need something named after a mobile phone network for the Gate set and van of the road for the motor.

You are about to be fleeced some more. Oh pants! got a Wills (SEF?) detailing kit for a M7, bound to be some gubbins to nail them together in there, that should do the trick... on the other hand could just whack my pull-push fitted T-Mobile thingymebob jobbie from they Cornish lot on one end (choice of one). Don't think Mickey mices were the same system as the southern lot? But I don't need to worry about that cos I ain't got a pp fitted one. Thought about getting a transit for the 700 but I can't justify the price for a single wagon, no matter how gurt ace it is. Plus I think I've got a D&S? kit for one in a box somewhere (if I don't build it I can always sell it to fund my retirement ) Edited August 27, 2021 by Tim Dubya Ratatouille 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scored some sleeper grime last night too and a rivet closing tool from the EMGS stores. I think any p&c work will be an eclectic mix of ply & rivet, plastic chairs and maybe the odd slice of copper clad Edited August 28, 2021 by Tim Dubya Coffee 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
