RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted November 9, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 9, 2018 We nearly moved there or near there. Carys' sister in law, who is Welsh, and a Welsh speaker from Swansea area, put us off, and she said that the locals around Haverfordwest didn't like other Welsh people. We wouldn't have stood a chance coming from Essex, even with Mrs M having a Welsh name. We ended up in middle of nowhere Linclonshire where the RAF have stopped zooming over head as there is a storm raging. Being so flat the wind just howls across the fields, just like the RAF's Typhoons and Tornadoes. You wiĺl be getting the new jobbies soon; they be stealth things so you won' t be able to see them.

bigwordsmith Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 What did you expect! You can't have leggy blondes with short skirts pushing toy trains; it might upset the kiddies and perhaps a few fathers Brian. Would probably have kept eh ratings up!

Dr Gerbil-Fritters Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 You wiĺl be getting the new jobbies soon; they be stealth things so you won' t be able to see them. P Nothing stealthy about them, apparently they burn banknotes instead of avgas. Apparently the Vulcan was almost stealthier than the prototype Stealth Fighter. at least until you looked out of the window and could see the smoke trail and hear the noise. One of the Stealths was shot down in the Balkans by the high tech method of waiting for the moment it flew the same path at the same time everyday and loosing off a SAM in the general vicinity. No matter how clever the tech, you have to factor in ineptitude.... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted November 10, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 10, 2018 (edited) Apologies for the 'outage'; the site seems to be hesitant this morning. Here are the parts (almost all) I have to work with. The bag of bits contains stuff I can not identify apart from the six stepboards and one or two bits of brake gear! Close up of side etches that are about 10/12 thou thickness (well shall we say thin?) I think I can sort the ends and sides using plasticard scribed for planking and add various deatails from scratch or RTR parts, but the roof is going to be a challenge. Having looked on line for info and seeing the old Airfix/Dapol/Mainline/Lima versions, I really can't see why I am bothering. However, I could get a used RTR one, preferably pretty well battered except for the roof and ends and maybe use those parts?

RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted November 10, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 10, 2018 If any of you good folk have some ides for this rescue (apart from bin it) then I would probably be going for a later build with Steel Angle Trusses (rather than Turnbuckle) and electric lighting/equipment rather than the gas tanks. That is unless you advise me otherwise. I want to KISS. Ar$£ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium brushman47544 Posted November 10, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 10, 2018 Bet it was filthy? There were two and the other was 1450. They were standing in for busted bog certs but I doubt they stayed that long. Later that year I saw them both stored at St David's on the remains of the Shed. They were almost the last steam that were seen there. They came down from Yeovil together L. E. but never returned there. By any chance cab you see the Trailer number? P Filthy, yes; trailer number no. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted November 10, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 10, 2018 Can I wear very tight Spandex briefs and thigh length, Sequence covered Wellies if I'm on the team?

Not sure Clive, I didn't see the BBC Gnus tonight. It's not that much better here sometimes, but as Mum was Manx I have a 'Get out of Jail Free' card. I was almost drummed off the Island once for suggesting the blue on 'Hutchinson' in the 80's was nice though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm awaiting a response from someone on Wanted as he wants the existing kit tender. However this looks ok but 30 + notes is steep. Wonder if a Dapol Schools kit tender would suffice to be modified and detailed? Here be 31637 at The Junction; many thanks to the person that took these shots in 1963. Wish I'd been there.

Phil Morning Mr. Ar$£ It is a tad dear but I pick them up when they are going cheap or I buy a non runner for spares and the tenders are stored away I fit RTR tenders to all of my kits It saves time and effort building the lumpy ones from the kits I've found it does enhance the kit no end with thinner sheeting. BTW I've several GWR white metal tender kits some part built laying around if anyone wants one for a small fee Or I just might build a weedkiller train.
