      If you have a PECO N Gauge scissors crossing knocking about it will come in handy!

  7. is really glad at the moment he changed the MD venue. If I hadn't I would be busy sweeping out a filthy engine shed and chasing people to move rolling stock right now.

      You mean you don't enjoy sweeping out filthy engine sheds?

  8. Is really glad I use screen protectors on cameras - if you don't it's worth investing a few quid. My heart was in my mouth when the camera dropped onto a hard object.

      Yes; that dducked the lens. ;)

      Go for glass screen protectors if you can Don rather than the plastic layers.

      It was good. I'm also quite knackered - here's hoping for an easy day at work!

  12. is spectacularly grumpy with some posting on here today. Utter garbage. Oh, and please feel free to explore those other keys on the keyboard that are called punctuation.

      Although correctly constructed sentences are preferred. We should not forget that this is a forum for railway modelling? Yet sport religion and politics appear regularly and I'm not referring to away-day specials services.

      Origin of Symmetry and Absolution in whole will do. All other attempts at music need not apply.

      @Pixie - one track off each of those is on the playlist.

  15. is testing a different layout on the Forum Index page; clearer but longer.

      Nice a "Room 101" area where pointless and cyclical threads go to die. I like it. Can I nominate the Stove R thread as a first entry?

       

  19. It isn't black; it's white. I don't care if everyone else says it's black; it's white. Factual evidence that it's black means nothing; I think it looks white so I must be right. Aaaaargh!

      If you haven't seen "Falling Down" with Michael Douglas, watch it. Just don't copy his ways of dealing with life's irritations!

  22. It's a him, continued colonic inflation until he hands over the double-booked keys seems fair to me.;-)

      Ops! Well I had a 50/50 chance that that last comment would be correct.

  24. It's about this time on any 'announcement day' that I lose the will to live with selfish, "I'm so clever", pointless posts and comments from people who can't be bothered to read information which has already been provided.

      It might work now but wait 'till saturday, when the winging will commence... unless we're all wrong and you've built a new layout rather than upgraded the site!
