Can someone please oblige me by recommending I leave work now, go home, open a nice bottle of real ale (not the over-hyped craft stuff), put my feet up and/or do some work on the layout.

How far is it exactly, from the Inmate Workshops to the actual Step?

 

One can't be too careful when issuing Recommendations.

You're not on sick leave now then. In that case you have my permission but if in doubt ask the management.

[Captain Kernow]

but if in doubt ask the management.

Actually, probably better not, if you don't want to hear what they say.

 

Might be better to sneak off when no one is looking. Can you fit through the toilet window?

Hey. Nothing wrong with the Southern. It provided feeder services to Gods wonderful. A very useful tramway

Alert there dear Sweety. I was just perusing (again) the article in last Nov's Model Rail and enjoying yet agin the most admiarable modelling when i remembered* something. yes, I actually did. 

That dear old bean CK has just furnised me with some loverly coaches and they be 'andsome.

One be a Siphon in BR Maroon and what I remember I am sure is that one can enhance such a vehicle with new boogies; American ones or something weird? If so, can you or any other sweetey provide links to that task or give me some clues as to what I must do ASAP?

Muchly thanking all of you for your remarkable tolerance and patience.

Oh, that dear man. What japes he provided.

What type of Siphon, inside frames or outside frames?  The answer will determine what type of bogies you will need.

 

Apologies for trying to be sensible

Never more so than in Young Frankenstein.

Actually, I do believe that what I sent him was a Mainline one with the external wooden framework.

If that is the case a pair of American bogies would not go amiss but they rode on several different types.

I’m a bit worried about 1848: it hasn’t moved for several days. Could it be that the siphon behind it is running on the wrong bogies?

Your faded and jaded repaired PO minerals trucks look brilliant, as does the dirty Mogul.

Sadly nothing new there, again !
