      I need to get her running right, before DCC'ing her.

      Phasing gear oil leak?

      Good answer.

      What 10800 said. I had been job seeking for two years before my current job and am now staring redundancy down.

       

      There are no problems: only solutions in my book. Keep going, it gets better.

      They're a bit like Bankers. Expensive to maintain and ultimately useless!

      AFAIK they tell business en what they want to hear and charge a small fortune for it..

      Partially, my local is the NVR. If anyone is a member there can they PM me?

      While not a member of the NVR i am a member of the Mid Hants and Shillingstone and i can say that it makes employeers look at your CV and they realise that your commited and its good fun learn new skills and drink lots of tea

      You will also find that you don't have to commit to anything other than what you are able or willing to do. There are regulars on the 4079 team but here are also semi regular attenders and the group is grateful for any input that is given. It is all man hours that bring us closer to a finished locomotive in the end... The key word here is volunteer!

  9. Going through the motions of planning dcc conversion of the layout...

    1. Steve Taylor

      Steve Taylor

      you sound enthused by the idea!

      Drawn up a circuit diagram in preparation.

      yeah its just a far way away for us, will get there one day.

  11. Nice to go see 73050 bring the Olympic torch to Peterborough.

  12. On another note, as well as Didcot today, I also copped Tornado near KGX and 71000 near Ealing. Not bad eh?

  13. I get home only to find spammers have been in my email, hang 'em I say!!!

  14. A suprisingly quick trip home. A good day overall, I highly recommend Didcot!

  15. 2 sleeps and 1 trip to the pub before I go to Didcot!

  16. Too warm, need to turn of electronics and read a magazine for a bit!

  17. Payday tomorrow, Didcot Saturday. I feel I may be skint by Sunday!
