cary hill Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 A guy who contributes to this thread but would like to remain anonymous has sent me an early Christmas present. Quite surprised he decided to let you have one, as he clearly worships Castle Class locomotives, but I understand he is selectively downsizing parts of his collection, as he recently mysteriously "acquired" 1,710 Hornby "Exeters" as a long term investment and is currently struggling for storage space.

RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted December 24, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 24, 2014 We Godless heathens need somewhere to keep warm whilst the righteous are in church. Locally we 'with God' have embraced 'the Godless' and have a church in a pub...........quite a laugh really. G. Abrial 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cary hill Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Some confusion now, as I've just realised from a recent posting above that SPG* could also stand for the "Southern" Presents Group or the Sausage Proliferation Group.... that's the trouble with TLAs.... *Pretty sure that it's not that slightly unpleasant Met lot, as they would have no business on ANTB.

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted December 26, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 26, 2014 I'm getting very worried about Rob - I mean Southern engines is one thing and acceptable in very small doses but Southern coaches, that really is starting to get a bit serious. Next thing we know there will be new buildings and it will be a nod to Bere Alston Are there pills for this sort of affliction does anyone know? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold gwrrob Posted December 26, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 26, 2014 An authentic rake to go behind my N class.I won't be buying anymore, very nice coaches, well detailed and a good price.Its a shame there's not an equivalent quality GWR coach. The only pills I need Mike are from Holstein and come in a bottle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
