      An artists impression of a prime minister?  Benjamin Disrael perchance, comrade Duck?

      Several, often whilst waiting for a soya latte at the Brassiere in Bath Queen Square, Midland, S&D, Green Park but not GWR.

    Rest in peace Peter.

  4. New supply of tea obtained, 100 bags in all. The most tea I’ve ever seen in one place in Oklahoma.

      I suppose growing tea in Yorkshire must mean a lot less elephants to worry about.

  6. What is that moment called when you discover you've dripped epoxy all down what, thanks to the enforced inactivity of the last few months, is now the only pair of trousers that still fit you?

  7. Ok then - which clown put superglue on my scalpel handle.

  8. Richard Harper's Sidmouth is still my favouritist trainset.  

  9. This can't be good, me posting relevant and almost intelligent questions

  10. So.... having lovingly spent the afternoon chopping up an Airfix min (my first) to play with detailing (?), I now realise that I have destroyed everything below the sole bar and I do not have the correct etched W irons, springs or oil boxes to replace them...  like what I fought I did.

      Cheers my babber.

      I have actually got three sets of Billy's brass jobbies (and the mineral underframes) but I'm building my way up to 'em, having not played with my sticking and gluing toys for a couple of years.  I thought I'd start simple with the Airfix mineral but got carried away.

      I've ordered some EMGS dubya-irons* today (I expect to find the 10 + packs I must already have tomorrow) but what I does need is springs and boxes :(

       

      * see what I did there?

      I thought I had them but yes turns out I have LSWR, BR Plate, BR Roller, RCH (both patterns) but no BR oil.  

      I've fired off an order to EMGS for two packs of 3 sets now, but having destroyed the springs and boxes, I am a little lost as what to do until I have enough things for a MJT order... if they do BR oil boxes.

      I am sorry, I made a mistake, which I hope I'll never repeat again... ever.

       

      Mr Titfield will be alright this month, I can't let the old boy starve can I.   I've got three in the basket already and there are definitely more books to add.

       

      I am sorry.

      It's more than a book (I must confess, not from my usual supplier), it has led to some bidding on the eBay.

      It's set No: 1, so its a LSWR Brake Compo and a SECR Third.

      Not sure of diags, maybe 419 @ 56' on the fun end, no idea what diag the "long 10" behind is though, diag 428?, so 58 footer if so.

      :(

      I have Mike's book on PP sets but was hoping for more info on the Ironclads.  I've got about 5 BSL/Phoenix kits and some Bill Bedford etches for the PP set, just need to source suitable donor coaches to whack 'em on.

      I know, I don't want to upset them either by having to tell them that, although there's a pull-push set on the cover, they are not covered in this volume but in a previous separate publication.

       

      Someone could have also let me know that Ironclads aren't covered in this volume either.  Should have read it first I suppose.

      I stared out wfh, but they soon realised it would cause less damage, paperwork, alcoholism etc if they just got comrade Sunak to pay.

      £38:50 for these pair delivered, what I didn't realise was there's a Comet SR coach underframe detailing pack in each kit :)
