RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted November 27, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 27, 2016 (edited) I am going to be boring and change the subject to today's trip to the NEC, well I bought the wrong tickets and me and my mate ended up in some model railway exhibition totally missing the good food show. Anyhow on the journey from Darkest Essex to Brumland we stopped at a service station in the middle of nowhere. The stop was great, well the cooked breakfast was, especially as my mate, Andy, gave me his black pudding as a swapsie for my grilled tomato. Still stuffed at lunch time I only able to mangae a white chocolate cookie with my cappuccino. I did have a slight problem, I spotted the ice cream van in the corner, so had a very nice raspberry cheesecake ice cream in a cone. Had a second cappuccino without a cookie as we walked around and around trying find the car park we left my mate's car in. Had hoped to be home in time for tea but some kind person decided to bash in to another person's car on the M11 thus delaying our journey back to Darkest Essex. That ends this year's Warley report.

chrisf Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 I have several MRJs in my collection. Do I have to dispose of them as I have used Pecoboob track on my train-set and I also have builded part of an EM gauge layout? S. Leeper No. Read them, admire what others have done and aspire to emulate or surpass their achievements. Then get some back numbers and repeat.

Not if we like sausages, we're not. That's quite true. I have been forced to choose between sausages and MRJ, and as I have all editions of MRJ within the confines of Kernow Towers, the much smaller number of sausages that were on the premises at the time (and they were gluten-free ones at that) have had to be consumed in an emergency sausage consumption session in order to clear the vortex before the situation became critical. Whilst the MRJ collection remains on the premises, no further sausages will be allowed in the house. I am completely serious about being serious about MRJ. I am a reformed character and a much more serious individual as a result, but you can tell that, can't you? I didn't need to say it, you lot are too clever for me, I'll have to try getting up earlier or something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gerbil-Fritters Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 On the odd occasion I read MRJ, it never seems to have articles about trains. Only articles about tools, shaving tiny bits of metal, buying a kit, throwing it away and replacing it entirely from bits from the junk box and gear ratios. Bit niche for my tastes.

RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted November 30, 2016 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 30, 2016 I'm losing it as I tend to keep my MRJs in the freezer and my GF Sausages on the coffee table in ze lounge (that's a room in my abode, not a part of a pub). Both taste bloody awful after a few years. Any way, here's a laugh. A week or so ago the Honourable T. Wright Esq. NB announced he had some loco's to 'move on' from a late friend's collection. One was a U1. I almost imploded and winged off an email at super narrow band slowness asking to have a look at it. Yeterday i was on a visit to said Honourable's layout and lo, the U1 was discussed. However, I had not realised that there was another sort of U1 and it certainly wasn't a SR locomotive. Doh! I shall find a picture of TW's and show you so you can laugh long an loud.

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted November 30, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 30, 2016 The infuriating habit of railway companies to give their locos appellations in use elsewhere is a pain. Years ago I recall someone announced a kit for a Southern B4. Great whoopings of joy among LBSCR modellers, until it was realised that no, it wasn't the lovely 4-4-0 of that railway, but the LSWR 0-4-0 tankee thing. The hiss of escaping air was audible....

Yours S.Ting ( U2) Well, if you half close your good eye and turn the light out and then look at it, you might just think it could be a double headed U1 from the proper railway Co.

Clearwater Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Couldn't you claim that having failed as the Lickey Banker it was on further banking trials at Seaton? I think as bad as railways using same class numbers is manufacturers announcing what you want in the wrong scale.. e.g. Heljan 61xx or 63xx David 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Northroader Posted November 30, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 30, 2016 You could dash off on a chase for much nicer U1s than that great lunky thing, the Great Western (sort of) and the LMS (sort of) both had them; 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
