Porcy Mane Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I'm afraid it's a dry show Paul.... But being Tea Total (apart from when Axlebox leads me astray at train related events) I was thinking along the lines of another fee. A Tunnicks wafer or teacake perchance? or maybe a Wiggie Salad? I've got an out of date Tennents lager if that'll do. If you don't like the big T it's paint stripping qualities are well known. Ah you've just give me an idea. I've just used up my last gallon of Dot 4 brake fluid for stripping paint of my models. This new environmentally friendly stuff just doesn't cut the mustard. Maybe I need to stock up on Big T. My spy's tell me four pints of the stuff applied in the right pub and everything's off within minutes. The bufferstops are cast, just the drawing and instructions to do so next week. I'm fully buffered up at the moment. It's the tail lamps I'm needing... P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davefrk Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 Luvverly job Mr F - even got that extra bit of 'meat' between the body and the lens where the red slide slips in on the side lamps; presumably they also have the lens on the other side as well? Definitely one of the best 'better mouse traps' to appear in the model railway world this century (or the previous one). Thanks Mr Stationmaster, I've tried to replicate the slide for the red filter and the side pocket for same. As you know the front lens is simple as it only shows 'white', I've painted it steel coloured as that looks about right for daytime running. I'll be making the production mould next week and all the lamps, including the later and more common LMS/BR loco lamp with slides will be available early February. Okay Porcy?

Porcy Mane Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 100 lines boy. TUNNOCKS. As you can probably tell, I'm not edjoocated in the finer points of Scottish Junk food. Apparently these Tunnocks things have a mesmerizing effect and can become quite addictive. Bit like Tennants I suppose. Haggis, Tattie and Neeps. Thats a real delicacy I'm looking forward to renewing my acquaintance with. ...next he'll be ranting about bus shelters, lamp posts and petrol pumps... Someone has to look out for endangered species. Maybe I should add haggis to the list. ps...£10 says he'll bang his head the first time he gets on the Subway... "Subway". How colonial sounding. Is that the thing that goes round in a circle that the locals build to 00 gauge? P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P Hey, leave our former great leader out of this, remember you need to get your visa stamped and the exhibition manager won't be too happy if he has to bail you out on the Thursday night. And... Tunnocks tea cakes are not, repeat not 'junk food, ask Mike'. Like the Caramel wafer they are to be savoured and enjoyed, both in company or in solitude. As regards the Subway yes it is even narrower than OO gauge being 4ft 1220mm but it is something akin to a switchback railway with sharp curves and changes in gradients, great fun if you like that kind of thing. Haggis, Neeps and Tatties, you did have a deprived childhood didn't you. If you want that then you need to visit the 'Ubiquitous Chip' in the West end of the City, take your wallet though, the venison sausages are to die for too. See you there. Dave Franks.

RMweb Premium Tim Dubya Posted January 23, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 23, 2016 (edited) or maybe a Wiggie Salad?Talking of salad, we really mixed it up last night for tea and went international with our Scotch Salad & Geordie Houmous.... (Chips and mushy peas). Nice lamps Dave... Cheers Edit: I stand corrected, sir and will restock with the correct "Geordie Houmous", Pease Pudding.

Nooooooooooooooo! Someone else in need of a foody education. Geordie Houmous is pease pudding. Normally carried to lands afar (Cornwall) as a pease offering. (To exchange for Cornish Clotted and yes I know who gets the better part of the deal). By a strange coincidence I just happen to be having that traditional North East fare for my dinner. Covering some freshly boiled ham in some freshly baked buns. Hmmmmmmm. Haggis? No thanks. P 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll leave it to you, dear chum, to inform the gaffer that the first part of Saturday evening in the process of being organised. It's the activities of rest of Sunday morning that intrigues me? Should I get my hair done? Could it be, we're off to the India Quay? Possibly Premier Inn for our kith & kin?

Porcy Mane Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Low fat. Allergen free. Seems the north east has gone poncey. What happened to proper food? A 2 oz. knob of well salted butter and 45 seconds in the microwave soon sorts the poncification out. ps. Tunny bars is rather nice. Can even get them in Benidorm! They've dragged the place into the 21st century then. Last time I was there you couldn't even get Watneys Red Barrel. Not that that mattered to a seven year old. That was a good night from what I remember.... Did Mr Franks take you on the subway then. Having now done a little research I'm beginning to warm to the idea of this narrow gauge big dipper. It looks like it could a more enlightening experience than a night out in the big market (The Toon). It would seem the locals take it upon themselves to entertain passengers in order to ease the passing of their travels. Three days going round in this device may be quite invigorating. Maybe they just do this sort of thing because they like railway enthusiasts in Glasgow.

davefrk Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 David, I have to say I don't mind one bit as I have known some of these guys for years and if you've had a night out with them your sides will still be sore three days later. And, in some of the railway clubs I've been in there is always fun and good craic going on, life doesn't have to be serious all the time. Many customers have mentioned the comments passed between RMwebbers and do appreciate the humour, maybe it lightens their day just a bit. The bottom line of course is that it keeps Lanarkshire Models thread on or near the front page.... Sorry you don't approve. All the best, Dave Franks. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
