      Yep, it could be a reputation for hospitality ;-)

      Since everyone who replied seems also to be excellent, that's a lot of beer and cakes

      I disagree with myself some times!

      Can't see anything there to disagree with; most likely a mistake. The voter is from NZ so they probably had the screen upside down.

      The person could probably neither confirm nor deny that he agreed or disagreed with you, or with someone else, or without someone else, so he got confused (I know I would..!)

  5. Wife away for the night, so trying to work out how to use the cooker.

      Might have been a better option - just found out that things in the oven get hot - ouch!

    3. Swifty11

      Swifty11

      Takeout always the best option

      If you do work out how to use the "kitcheny" things, don't let on or she'll have you working in there all the time....

  6. Just fitted two ne catflaps. The cat can use the first one, but then just sits and looks at the second waiting for me to open the door !?!

      Yes that's her, down to a tee.

      It was a sort of modelling related activity, since I used my track cutters to trim the bolts down to size.

    4. Mallard60022

      Mallard60022

      Do you think she prefers GN flaps?

  7. Photoo uploads working for me again now - watch out!

      What's a photoo? Is it some kind of rare tropical bird?

    3. Beresford Junction

      Beresford Junction

      I've just googled it, and wished I hadn't - not quite what I meant...

  8. So why exactly have I just purchased another four coaches since I don't even have a station?

  9. Is enjoying playing with 57003 (including sound) - perhaps this will spur me on to rebuild the layout!

      You're not building a portable gallows, are you?

      Wait and see - it's certainly torturing me making it.

  11. Why is everyone who goes to model railway shows odd (apart from me that is)?

      odd, smelly or both???

      Just odd today - it made me feel quite normal!

       

  12. Have got it in my head I need a full set of FGW coaches (inc. sleepers) - stop it, stop it....

      Hmmmm. But I see the HST's pass the office every day and only need a rake of 8....

       

    3. surfsup

      surfsup

      Erm. I might actually have that, and the modified HST vehicles. And a correct Night Riviera set. And maybe I wonder why I don't actually have as much money as I thought...

    4. trainmaster247

      trainmaster247

      Just give me the money you would spend on those (problem solved ;))

  13. Oh no - that's another '37 ordered!

      One can never have too many 37s

      These things are easily done. There never seems to be an 'are you sure' button when you want one.

      Hold your horses - trying to remember how to use the camera!

    4. Beresford Junction

      Beresford Junction

      Right, I've fathomed out how to use the camera again and done a quick loop. Uploading to YouTube as we speak.

       

  15. Not that ballasting is boring or anything...

      You mean I don't have to watch it dry?

      Watching glue dry is the best thing about ballasting!

      know that feeling, except the glue isnt drying

      Thats messy work I know.

  19. Oh no - just got a bit carried away on-line shopping - a big box on it's way from Liverpool

    1. Horsetan

      Horsetan

      By contrast, there may be a small box making its way down from somewhere in Yorkshire....

    2. Beresford Junction

      Beresford Junction

      I should probably correct - it will be a small but expensive box

       

    3. Horsetan

      Horsetan

      Bet mine's smaller than yours....

  20. Currently scratchign my head about line spacing in the fiddle yard, swapping between inches and mm just to complicate things

    1. Beresford Junction

      Beresford Junction

      I think I'm going to go for 60mm spacing (from outer edge to outer edge)

       

    2. coachmann

      coachmann

      45mm centres is pretty safe.

    3. Beresford Junction

      Beresford Junction

      Thanks - I did a test but can't get my fingers in between at that distance and since the fiddle yard is underneath and has restricted access more is more in this case I think...

  21. Big plans for modelling tonight, but came home to a radiator leak!

    1. Swifty11

      Swifty11

      Unlucky matey! Hopefully nothing to do with poppy (?) the cat in you picture I hope?

    2. Beresford Junction

      Beresford Junction

      Heath Robinson drip collection device added, so ok for now. Poppy currently on her hols, but found a dead mouse she'd left for us - nice.

    3. Swifty11

      Swifty11

      That's the one of the reasons why I don't want a cat! Dogs more my thing. Hopefully you got to do the modelling

  22. Just had a letter through the post - driver awareness course, here I come...

    1. spenc

      spenc

      Me to for doing 6mph over speed limit on m5 in the road works

      devondynosoar118

      Better than points tho, I did one. Watch out for some insurers, as the one fronted by Nelson were apparently hiking premiums on people who had been on it!

    3. Beresford Junction

      Beresford Junction

      My thoughts exactly (the points) - no point in complaining, just smile and get on with it...

  23. Oh no - just ordered another '37 - with sound. I can see another change of era coming along to Beresford Junction!

      Go late 80s, you know you want to!

      ive now too dug out all my 90s stock after looking over your Phil..

  24. Tees Yard is pretty empty

    1. Temeraire

      Wondered why you hadn't been on here! See you Friday.

      New project Phil? N gauge Tees yard. I like it.

    3. Beresford Junction

      Beresford Junction

      Strange, that is just what I was thinking. Not much stock needed.

       

  25. Given the weather outside, I think its time for the first trip of 2016 to Beresford Junction

    1. ess1uk

      ess1uk

      Unfortunately a bit of flood damage discovered - not too bad and Christmas Tree related rather than storm damage :-0
