GWR-Fanatic Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 It may not involve a lynching, but being a GWR enthusiast in a club full of Southern Railway enthusiasts certainly does make life a whole lot more interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt, as much as I would like to say the club is full of Southern enthusiasts, you know that isn't true, we just accept that you have been misled by a certain member who favours locos with copper chimneys, now I suppose i had think about carrying out some 'detailing' on loco's for Avon jcn.

Colin You are indeed correct, and I feel I must apologise that I neglected to mention that the club does indeed include enthusiasts for LMS, LNER, several Narrow Gauge enthusiasts, and not to mention the Modern Image enthusiasts would be most unforgivable, I even have a feeling there might be one or two members who are interested in overseas modelling (European prototypes as it were) . I should clarify that a reasonable majority of the club are Southern Enthusiasts, though it does indeed cater for other companies and interests. I also know for definite that there are of course at least 4 other members who have GWR locomotives as part of their own collections, one of these members guided me towards my interest in GWR, and taught me alot of things I never even knew before. For example, I now know that Frederick William Hawksworth's birthday is the 10 February (1884). Edited March 10, 2012 by GWR-Fanatic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinW Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 And what's wrong with that! Jeff Nothing at all Jeff, but the said person thinks only the GWR should be modelled, just a shame he doesn't model. Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted March 10, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 10, 2012 Back to the OP. Walk up to a beautiful model of a pre-grouping layout and ask: "Is that the Hornby R8005 signal box?" in a really nasally monotone.........................

Padishar Creel Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 back to original post, and I apologise to everyone in advance. first make sure you are standing in front of an appropriate layout and choose from the following list: I wonder when Scalefour modellers will finally start to scale the the weight correctly Isambard Kingdom Brunel should have stuck to ships I always thought (Insert your chosen line/engineer) was overrated anyway I've been standing here for an hour and you haven't run Thomas yet You don't look after your locos very well, they're all dirty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classsix T Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 On a fabulously put together bang up-to-date modern image effort, just before you get fed-up at the lack of moving trains ask: "Is copper theft having a severe affect on service frequency?"

Horsetan Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 ...I wonder when Scalefour modellers will finally start to scale the the weight correctly.... This is already being done in the context of setting up CSB suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWR-Fanatic Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) I always thought (Insert your chosen line/engineer) was overrated anyway G. J. Churchwood and C. B. Collett, two of the finest locomotive designers in railway history in my opinion, you can never overrate their designs, and I'd be first in the queue with pitchfork at the ready if it were the case (slightly Off Topic but for a quick giggle, N-Gauge City of Truro please!)

scots region Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Find a layout based on a fictional location, then stand there and say 'tut tut, that'd never happen in real life' at every stock move. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium t-b-g Posted March 18, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 18, 2012 Ask the geezer on the "Shawplan" stand in the Sheffield United shirt if he's wearing it to win a bet. :declare: He wouldn't lynch you.......... It would be much worse! It would probably require surgery to remove ones head from where it really shouldn't be. One bloke came close this afternoon at Nottingham. Something was slightly amiss on LB and the chap kept telling one of my daughters that she needed to pull this that or the other lever. They get this sort of thing all the time, being but "girls in a man's world". They are both very good operators. Of course, she had pulled all the levers quite correctly and it was a faulty switch causing the problem. She was too polite to say anything at the time but if looks could kill.......... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
