      Yes the nearest branch of Hobbycraft has seen a very marked reduction in the level of Hornby stock - still good on Woodlands Scenics though.

      Has always been pretty dire in the London area. Branches of Hobbycraft / ToysRUs have no railway items at all!

      Theres more choice for boys today and I guess its not 'cool' to like trains.My lad loves Skylanders and there were loads of those.

  2. Unbelievable... But what are they saying to each other I wonder.
  3. Saw this excellent layout in the flesh today at Warley and was very impressed.Very nice slow running ,cracking buildings and scenics and well presented too.The operator I chatted to was friendly too.I hope I didn't put him off too much.
  4. Its coming along nicely Chris.Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh too.
  5. Mikkel.That canopy roof using the Wills sheets looks superb to my eyes and I could live with those edges myself.
  6. Anyone Christmas shopping yet ?

      My local garden centre was getting the Christmas displays out, a large tree already decorated out front and adverts telling everyone that the 'Del Boy Look-alike' would be along soon!....

    EBay madness

    Some people are really thick and have more money than sense too.
  9. Suprised to see Penzance on the departure board at Derby Midland

  10. A bump up for this topic but also a heads up on another BR liveried Castle thats available as a split from the 'A date with the duchy' pack.Its R2986B and is 7038 Taunton Castle.Its described as being late crest but model has the early one. £99. Thats quite a few BR castles now compared to the one in GWR livery. http://www.modelfair.com/acatalog/Hornby_00_Gauge_Steam_Locomotives.html
  11. Yes wheres Red Devil when you need him.
  12. Beautiful stuff Mikkel.The paintwork on those coaches looks superb.
  13. I don't think so as I bought it back in the mid 90s from a small ad in the Railway Modeller.If I remember right they were also available as a double track version.It will come alive when Chris paints it.
  14. 6 weeks to Warley.I'd better order my ticket.

  15. Looking promising Chris.What have you planned for 'my' bridge paint wise ?.
  16. Got my tickets for the Santa Express @ the SVR !

      they smelt of pubs

       

      first gig ever went to and still the best band ever

  19. Now I know what you wanted GWR grey for Mikkel.Thats a cracking model and those Geen kits turn out very nice.Did you solder it or chicken out like me.
  20. Very nice BT.I don't suppose you fancy building the newish 1/24th Mosquito.It looks a belter.
  21. Tw*ts like these get a record contract and make millions but true inspirational artists who song write struggle to get a deal due to being the wrong side of 40.Lifes fair innit.
  22. The house is quiet with the daughters back at uni.

      Presumably Uni will be proportionally more rowdy then? How u doin buddy?

  23. Well I've had a chat with Virgin and I'm going to get their Tivo service installed next month.Heres hoping it works out well and its only costing me £3 per month extra.
  24. Thanks for that link.I'd forgot about that option.I'll give them a ring to see. The Panasonic HDD is the high end of what I'd be willing to pay.It looks a nice piece of kit though.
  25. I have freeview on my TV but also have Virgin Media at the moment.Would there be a conflict using a HDD recorder/player ?
