Axlebox Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 ...after a tip off at the York show this weekend...Revoboy has been crawling around the back streets of County Durham taking pictures of lamp posts again, I know, I was in the get away car...expect news of his new discovery soon (which if I'm honest was quite impressive and I'd probably buy a couple myself if someone cast them...oh bu99er, they've got me at it now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davefrk Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 I've had a communication from our website hosts to say they will be doing 'maintenance' on the troublesome server to try to solve the problem most of their customers are having, namely not being able to update their webpages. The hosts also say they hope the 'new' server will deliver a better service. So, which is it? - Maintenance of an old server or an introduction of a new server, who knows but it wouldn't be hard to deliver a better service. They say our website would be unavailable at times this Thursday. Dave Franks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iak Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Sounds like a load of technobabble wittering and blethering to me Dave. Maybe the servers need a re-programming with a baseball bat? Mind they may also be using duff coal or the elastic bands have worn out... Sláinte 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsetan Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 With the explosion in modelling lamp posts, will there be an associated increase in the number of scale model dogs taking a leak? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davefrk Posted April 9, 2016 Author Share Posted April 9, 2016 Shhhh! There's already been a run on the tail lamps, at this rate there won't be any left for Scalefour North..... I've kept quiet about the website fix which happened a few days ago as I'm trying to get enough stock together but people keep buying stuff. Hey Ho. Love you all.

davefrk Posted April 28, 2016 Author Share Posted April 28, 2016 New stocks of the new LNER and GNR bufferstops made after selling out at the Scalefour North show, now up on the website. And a photo of what can be done with some old bufferstops. Alloa bay platform bufferstops now correctly done as per a photo of the real place by Bill Roberton, thanks Bill. NBR stops (BS10) with old loco buffers attached (LB09), notice the stops are not attached to the running rails but would have a heavy framework underground. Anyone want some old plastic 'universal' bufferstops, one careful user. Dave Franks. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axlebox Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 (edited) Mr F Its been weeks since you last posted soemthing new...don't worry...the lamp post boys are currently crowd sourcing^ their 12" to the foot preservation movement...so its safe to start making new stuff again. In the meantime...have you ever considered doing some 'Monkeys Tails' ? There were a lot of them around...think of all those Slaters 20ton hoppers out there in desperate need of some... So if you've read this and would buy some tails off Mr F then press the 'thanks' button so he can then gauge the interest... A/Box PS I'm in need of 120...I'm sure Porsee will have at least 8*, so thats 128 already sold! ^ Last heard they were looking for someone with a JCB for some nocturnal adventures * There are 8 tails in every 20t hopper (not all the same mind) Edited June 20, 2016 by Axlebox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porcy Mane Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Every time I ride down this street on my JCB the polis turns up. https://goo.gl/maps/V7yyQF9eJSA2 Took a pic of this Guard of Honour a while back for one of them Stanier thingies.
