jwealleans Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Liked the song, hadn't seen the video before. Looking at the age of Deirdre Barlow when that was filmed, it must have been pre-1968? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted January 26 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted January 26 (edited) As for Frazer and Jonesy with the impending end of our hobby of toy trains. We have always had major model railway retailers give up trading, thank you Hattons for all the models you have supplied to me over the years. Model railway shows have come and gone, thank you to the Warley club for the shows I attended as a punter, a modelling demonstrator on the DEMU stand and as an operator on my mate's layouts. We are not doomed or need to get in a panic. Relax and go with the flow as we carry on enjoying our wonderful hobby. Now let us get back to normality. Where the (not a RMweb word) 'ell are my Class 25 and Class 11? I want them yesterday. My life won't be complete without them!!!!!!!!!! OK what exhibition can we complain about smelly backpack carrying punters, expensive food, long queues, train time tables don't match the show opening times, the wrong sort of traders and as for the car parking, don't get me started? The Accurascale class 37 box is still to big to fit on the class 37 shelf. I don't know who started the rumour of me painting something and finishing it. It is a total lie and don't believe anyone who says it is true. Edited January 26 by Clive Mortimore 7 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted January 28 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted January 28 Been altering a steam loco, a Bachmann rebuilt Patriot into 46170 "British Legion". The last Royal Scot was built as an experimental loco called Fury. It blew up, so Bill Stanier rebuilt it with a taper boiler. Mr Ivatt (the younger) rebuilt the Royal Scots, some Patriots and 2 Jubilees with a similar boiler. The main visual difference being the position of the top feed. The boiler itself was a tad longer and had a shorter smokebox. I found that out today and said who is going to notice that the smoke box is 3mm too long unless I tell them............whoops. The loco also had strange covers to its steam pipes and a different reversing rod to the other three classes. Like the Patriots and Jubilee rebuilds it had a Stanier cab. My attempt at 46170, still with wrong number. A Bachy Royal Scot to compare with. I have, by accident, seven class 7P LMS 4-6-0s, 2 rebuilt Scots, 2 rebuilt Patriots, a rebuilt Jubilee, 46170 and one engine I am not sure if it will be another Patriot or the other Jubilee. Now to order the name plates. 10 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted February 5 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 5 (edited) That nice Mr Sutton sent me another biscuit tin today. Sadly no biscuits in it but a Toy Engine, a very nice toy engine. It runs beautifully. This model railway hobby is getting too expensive, I am going to have to buy loads of biscuits to fill this up.
