Andrew P Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 Like the road transport Andy. Did you swap the wheels out on the Morris or is it the weathering that gives them that chunky look? Cheers Shaun, the vehicles will be for my 1960's Transition layout but I just need to check out the Reg Numbers for the years. As for the tyre's, they are all original and just weathered a little. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 O.K. Guys and Galls, We had a call from our Solicitor this afternoon and he has been asked to Exchange Contracts this afternoon for completion next Thursday 22nd. Later I called the people we are buying the Bungalow from to ask if I could get in with the Electrician for an estimate. He then informed me that he hadn't even been asked to SIGN CONTRACTS YET. His Solicitor is the SAME SOLICITOR that is acting for our buyer and has asked for Exchange today and Completion next Thursday, 22nd. You couldn't make it up could you, its a real farce. And the best bit of all is that this WOMAN will want PAYING for her services, hahhahha. It does make you laugh doesn't it. NO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 I will be putting SL into store at the weekend until the new Potting Shed is ready, I would guess that will be late August / September before I am modelling again so things will be a bit slow on here. I will try to get some more pics before I wave it a fond farewell for now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted May 14, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 14, 2014 Dear Mr Peters I have now read the full report by Lieutenant Poshname hyphen La de Da following the reconnaissance Corporal, whatever his name was, done at Swad Lane. It appears you have workshops with tools. Now we have a problem here at the Duke of Edinburgh’s barracks, or so my Sergeant Major informs me. The Quartermaster, god awful man came up through the ranks, will not allow the men to have the tools on his shelves in his stores. He is telling the men that he cannot have gaps on the shelves when I inspect his stores. Well you can understand how untidy gaps on the shelves look. Now with the men not being able to get tools we cannot teach them how to use them. As a consequence Sergeant Shoutalot is giving them extra drill to occupy their time. He is also giving everyone else ear ache. Therefore may I ask if I could send my men to your workshops so they can learn to use tools. I will ensure that Sergeant Shoutalot accompanies the men as to supervise them on your property, and give our ears a break. Looking forward to your positive reply, Yours Lt.

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted May 14, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 14, 2014 Dear Mr Peters I have just had Lieutenant Poshname hyphen La de Da and Corporal, whatever his name was, rush in to my office. We seem to have a problem that neither the men can go on leave or take up the kind offer of them learning how to use tools in your workshops. Corporal, whatever his name was, has informed Lieutenant Poshname hyphen La de Da that you and your railway are moving and could be out of action until September? I am now at a loss what to do with the men. It will mean having plug my ears with cotton wool so I do not hear Sergeant Shoutalot for the next few months. Would you like to borrow Sergeant Shoutalot to have a word or two with the problem solicitor? All the best with your house move, Yours Lt Colonel La de Da hyphen Poshname Rough Engineering Made Easy 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dear Mr Peters I can see a problem with no shouting. There also may be a problem with the language used. Sergeant Shoutalot seems to be fluent in Anglo-Saxon words that most of us would not use in front of the Chaplain. I could order him to not open his mouth, he may find that hard unless he can use his other favourite method of motivating the men. He calls it a “a size ten up the jacksey”. I have no idea what he means but it seems to work. By the way would you like some help with your packing. I could send the Quartermaster, god awful man came up through the ranks, to help, he seems to have most the stores very tidily packed. Hoping a good size ten up the jacksey does the trick.

RMweb Premium Sasquatch Posted May 15, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 15, 2014 That weathering on 47401 is really very convincing Bodge meister mate. So here's the deal. You could apply some convincing weathering to Squatches diesel fleet, Mrs. S. gets your scenics done and I build her this new walk-in closet/bathroom thing! All we need to do is figure out how to come over there and have you come stay over here! 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeT Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Morning Bodger, l really love the large logo on the 47s, and yours is a great example of one, no matter how much grime you put on one they still look the part. brings back great memories of our spotting days at Eastleigh in the late 80s.....

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted May 15, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 15, 2014 Dear Mr Peters It seems that we have had a problem with someone leaving the regimental computer on. It looks like the Colonel has had access to it. The Sergeant Major has noticed that someone has clicked the “Indecipherable/Unsure of meaning” button on post number 283. The Colonel does not understand the word “No” as none of us are brave enough to say it to him. As I am busy typing this e-mail to you the Sergeant Major is in the office with the Colonel suggesting that where you say “No” you mean due health and safety reasons. We find mentioning H&S to him puts him in a panic for a couple of weeks, he goes and sulks in his office and gives us all a break. As for the problem with the QM not loaning the tools to the men my mates Geordie and Scouse who work in the stores have a plan to loan out the tools and then shuffle the remaining ones along the shelf making them look full. Remember bull doings baffles brains. All the lads here wish you all the best with your move and hope the temporary loan of Sergeant Shoutalot helps. Well it will help our ears.

Andrew P Posted May 15, 2014 Author Share Posted May 15, 2014 Hi and cheers Clive, Shaun and George, The problem I've found with the Large Logo 47's with the white roof is trying to make them look right. To dirty and they look wrong and to clean and they look wrong. Some seemed to be cleaned more than others but I'm really not to sure. I found these few of pics white roofed 47and these are from George's collection. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
