  1. I'm genuinely worried about this. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DbZrAlKU8AAEzF8.jpg

      Is that genuine? If it is then they shouldn't be anywhere near a railway.....

  3. has learnt that his fellow modeller friend has had his serious heart operation cancelled for the third time. This time he was on 'nil by mouth' since midnight last night and then cancelled within an hour of the op at 1500 hrs.

      Seems to be happening more and more. Oddly enough, I also have a friend who was due to have a complicated Bowel op today. 12 months since the initial referal, then like your friend, nil by mouth since last night - had to be at hospital for 07.15 this morning and still hadn't haad the op by 17.00 tonight - so they've been discharged now to await another date for the op. Lets not forget though, Hospital waiting times are nothing to worry about according to the Government.

  4. has just heard ABBA's 'Eagle' and now understands what it was about them that was unique. Frida's mezzo-soprano and Agnetha's soprano voices together have never been equaled in a pop record.

      Way ahead of their time. Just shows by the fact that their work is still played frequently on radio and covered by various artists. Wonder how many X-factor 'artists' will still have stuff played in 40 years from now?

      'Eagle' is an amazing track - from the Voulez Vous album if I remember correctly....

  5. What happened to Vitrains, as it just buzzed through my head. for some reason.

    1. BigAndy

      BigAndy

      Nothing as far as I know. You can still pick up ViTrains stuff from model shops and on Ebay. Just don't think they're planning on anything in the UK market any time soon.

  6. Bought a "To me from me" early Christmas present - Train Simulator!

      Very Dangerous! I spend far too much time playing on Rail Simulator when I should be modelling!

  10. Waiting for an Amazon delivery so I can finally play Elite: Dangerous properly ... trying to use the mouse is a disaster waiting to happen (and it has several times - who put that meteorite there?)

    1. BigAndy

      BigAndy

      I've been toying with the idea of getting Elite: Dangerous. It certainly looks the part, Is it any good?

  11. Not a happy chappy because i cant believe how bad 00 gauge runs compared to European HO

    1. BigAndy

      BigAndy

      Agreed. It is a darn sight better than it used to be though. Simple fact is, British modellers won't pay for a decent product - you gets whats you pay for.....

  12. Wondering whether UK shops will ship paint overseas nowadays - I would really like to try some of the Railmatch range.

      BigAndy

      I hope there hasn't been a falling out anywhere. Like Darren says, Martin's been a massive help with, especially with Templot.

      Put some decent tunes on the Stereo as well and it can be quite therapeutic
