brianusa Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 And what is wrong with a B12? You haven't mentioned them. I wouldn't know what to ask! Sheltered away for ages in the deep south west, I thought there was only a SR and a GWR! Only later was I aware of a couple more the other side of EXE to where I ventured later on, but never knew much about them. Brian. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted October 6, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted October 6, 2018 I was looking at this when it appeared on EB after I had 'won' a brass van kit. Good price really for a working kit and reasonably well built. However, look at the finish (yes I know it isn't painted yet)...........If that is 'professional' then I'd rather do it myself, but the parts would actually be £100 more than this price and it is probably a good 20 hour job. Comments on what in the finish could have been better done? (need to look at the 'big pictures'). http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4mm-D-J-H-Austerity-2-8-0-Professionally-built-to-a-very-high-standard/332798775511?hash=item4d7c5a50d7:g:xHoAAOSwkrdbboLe Don't need it for The Junction, however if anyone fancies it, it wouldn't take a lot of fettling IMO.

RMweb Premium 31A Posted October 6, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 6, 2018 They don't seem to have bothered much with removing 'flash' - buffer heads and cylinder fronts in particular. I'd probably replace the cast smokebox door handles, myself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted October 6, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 6, 2018 Seriously though - who would put coal in the tender before painting the model? Obvious, innit.

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted October 8, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 8, 2018 Our Feathered Aquatic friend and I have been waffling on about nothing in some PMs and the last one concluded with "Do sober people buy Kebabs?" I think this question should be shared with all who frequent this part of the forum. "Do sober people buy Kebabs?" All answers to be longer than two letters. Especially N and O.

RMweb Gold colin penfold Posted October 8, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 8, 2018 (edited) I enjoy kebabs when sober. It does however depend on buying the right thing from the right place. Clearly if you buy a doner kebab (the one that looks like a big table leg on a stand) from a dive at 2am you are asking for trouble. In my early 20s I did do that on a regular basis in Plymouth and apart from waking up with chilli sauce and coleslaw on my clothes I never had a problem. I frequently buy a lamb shish when sober from my local takeaway and it's good quality meat well cooked and nicely presented. I love shish kebabs cooked on hot coals when on holiday in Turkey or Greece. A kebab, after all, is simply skewered food.

RMweb Premium M.I.B Posted October 8, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 8, 2018 I frequently eat kebabs - usually shish. But I work a lot in the Middle East. I do enjoy the occasional doner when I'm back in the UK. Even when sober........ Got to be from the right shop tho - I always avoid kebab vendors in old ambulances. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted October 8, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 8, 2018 I went on a course at Folkestone once. One of the lecturers, formerly Area Manager at Oxted - and featured in Modern Railways as such! - referred to the local ladies of easy virtue as “ Folkestone fourpenny certs”.
