      I tend to park as far away from the door as I can ( to avoid the trolley scrapers) and you still get some dunderheid parking right next to you in a near empty car park. SWMBO got a right good ding from a white car at her office, only one white car in the office but the person denies it. Should have kept the old landie unrestored, no-one would park next to that midden....

      I find older cars are better at resisting these things, particularly anything over 20 years old. They used a better grade of steel back then.

  8. Back from a weeks holiday. A dip into RMWeb shows that life has continued without change.

      I didn't think that you were that far down the current frothing curve yet.

      Dapol's 7mm 08 seems to have spread some disarray in the community.

  9. Back to working on the wiring for London Road, definitely not my favourite job.

  10. Contemplating five weeks of batchelor hood when my wife flies to NZ tomorrow.

      A few years ago, my Girlfriend went to Argentina for 2 months and I had all these great plans; mountain biking trips, modelling and lots of drinking with various people all around the UK. Ended up working 12 hour days for most of teh time and was so knackered afterwards and at weekends, that I did nothing. Hope your 'freedom' goes better.

      Now that I would very much like to see. Are you doing a thread on it?

    2. Jol Wilkinson

      Jol Wilkinson

      No, but I'll do a thread on the test build when the time is right.

  12. Cut the end of my left hand index finger badly with a kitchen knife last night. Making holding plasticard for working on the new overbridge a bit difficult.

    1. Grafarman

      might give the plasticard a nice rusty stain though...

      Debs. I don't thinks so, thankfully.

  13. Damn, broken my own rule not to get involved in debates which are "opinion" based!

      No, not me, it's the others. I must try to ignore them.

  14. Despite feeling pleased with progress on the extension to London Road, can't help feeling it's two steps forward, one step back at the moment.

      Whatever it is, I'm sure somebody will have a Whale of a time building it ...

      The Renown class (rebuilt from Jubilees). The Webb 2500 gallon tender will also be available to go with it

      Nice, according to the info built 1908 and lasted to 1931, another loco kit added to the desired list

  20. Hooray, finished wiring the control panel (I think). Now to get on with the platformsand redecorating the spare bedroom.

  21. Hooray, nearly finished lining out seven LNWR carriages. Just got to fix transfers, varnish, glaze, add roofs, bogies, etc. At least the end is in site and then on to the next kit.

      Yes, well spotted. I'd been working on some web stuff too and obviously got confused - but what's new?

  22. Horray, got the traverser fully sorted on its four drawer runners. The loco "turntable" is finished so now I can lay the traverser lines.

  23. I suppose I had better get packing everything tommorrow ready to take the layout to Railex.

  24. I'll be glad when the work on the layout is done, so I can get back to building some locos and carriages

  25. If I can get rid of this d*mn cold, I'll get on with the next etched loco kit artwork.

      We'll look forward to the spray patches on the artwork
