RMweb Premium great northern Posted October 4, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 4, 2017 OK my WC has deffo got a width problem. On the other hand, my Arthur seems to like Peterborough North where it met some very nice coaches. The WC needs a damn good thrashing. "Grayson..........!" Phalanges Digitus I thought they both behaved very well Phil. OK, the WC stuttered a couple of times, but that could have been because it read the nameboards on the coaches. Kings Cross - Cleethorpes! I'm sure it is accustomed to much sunnier southern shores. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

devonseasider Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Is there any sand in that bit of Devon for ostriches too bury their 'eads in?

I was in a pub today which had something I've never seen before, a small board on the wall with a rack of pegs, a pair of which supported some spectacles. At the top it said "Forgot your glasses?" and underneath it said "Return after use" 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blue Streak Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Crikey, I turn My back for 3 days and You blokes go wild. 3 pages to read. Although I can report that My job Yesterday did not involve running on Peecaboo FB BS rail. It was far too narrow (working out at a scale 3'6") and a scale 45 ' long lengths of Triang type Set track with loose fishplates and every third sleeper broken in it's bed of sandy "ballast". It looked like it had been badly bent and beaten with many setup and tear downs using the same rail lengths on the kitchen floor Dirt since it's construction in 1911 and I ran at a scale 30Km/h for several hours of rocking and rolling and praying that it didn't all fall over while trying to hang on too my lunch with sea sick type symptoms. P.S. Nice to read that you have re - enthused again, Phil. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
