Is that an American forum?

 

Or perhaps one for folk who can't spell 'modeller?'...

 

Terminology is all American, so it stands a chance. 🤔😉

 

What color is your aluminum? Just remember the words of Sir Winston Churchill - we are two nations divided by a common language. 👍

Hi Tim, 

 

Hell yeah ! , the forum is from the colonies. 

 

For the avoidance of doubt though,  the Bleat at Nailsea this year is NOT Bleat Wharf though BW does now live in Taunton with it's new owner as does this Bleat.........what are the chances of that ?

Mad Harry is the nickname of the guy who runs a timber yard at the bottom of Hamlin Way and the Jct with The South Devon Expressway... at one time he had the remains of 2 x AEC Matador timber tractors...along with a Magirus Deutz...

No idea but there's no point bleating about it.

If I were to model a diesel layout I’d have to go for BR green* there’s something classic about the green livery without looking too modern (if that makes sense)

 

*this from someone that complains about all his locos being green because they are Great Western 🙄

Set aside a rather incongruous forest of chimneys and we have a nice building around which to create a layout. 

 

Will a pesky Peckett go through the doorway ?

Got one of those somewhere in the loft if you want to try it.....

Don't think he could afford the import duties Neil.

 

Mores the point I don't think giraffes eat grass like sheep.

If they did, the neck and legs would be rather superfluous...

In which case they'd be a pretty sheep in that random camo effect of theirs...

Obviously Giraffes eat really, really tall grass - that’s why you don’t see really, really tall grass in the Savannah, because the giraffes have eaten it all and have to make do with acacia leaves.
