    I've just seen your snaps of Whiteoak Light Railway - very impressive and moody! Will look forward to seeing that in the flesh Martin.

    If anyone's likely to be at Bristol TM around 11.00 may get to see something a bit special!

      Bath Road has been rebuild, and FGW are to announce that all services between BTM and Padd-Penz. are to revert to hydraulic operation again?

      Full marks to GWR for a meaningful and appropriate tribute. Also, the guy responsible for the design on this wrap and others has a hugely fitting surname.

    If there is a greater being who has any control over anything could I just ask for a day without an idiot in it please? You sent me six yesterday, surely some mistake?

      Nice one Andy, I can't wait to see your next layout offering, not withstanding the fact that you'll need a bit of time to get things done.

    In response to Baldrick who keeps deleting replies - "If you were 'banned' you wouldn't be able to access the site would you? Your status is that you're moderated which means others don't see your posts until we've checked them for which you've only got yourself to blame over inflammatory and misguided posts."

      I rather thought that railway modelling was a hobby for steady tranquil types, people who can't be doing with the stresses of modern life or at least an escape from it. Having read some of the posts and replies on this site, I find that my hobby too is slowly being taken over by the poor manners and unpleasantness so common in modern life. The models may be infinitely better than years gone by, some of the people are not.

      Indeed Andy; it`s creeping-in like the damp, but mercifully RM-web is well run, and the admin/mod-team will not allow the pejorative-minority to spoil it for the rest.

    is amazed at the state that Mrs Y got the oven into yesterday. Although I owe her many favours she owes me a rather large 'hot pan on the workbench mark' favour. :)
