Hi, all. I'm rather surprised that he is still alive.
-
Well, he got it working eventually.

Where I worked before retirement, all computer problems were described as "eye-dee-ten-tee" issues. [Say it out loud, then write down what you hear.]

Where my mother grew up, that was the kitchen sink.

This is an amazing bit of engineering! https://twitter.com/i/status/1347943803223736321

So I think they should issue unpainted versions or purchasers to dress up in their own liveries.
-
Of course this could be a kit prepared to order. -
Extrapolating wildly from absolutely no data, but a probably wrong implication I made from that sentence: I wonder how many projects have been started and then put on hold until a competitor comes up with an announcement.

That's a 737-500, not a 737 MAX. Big diference.

I model the BR era, but ... I live slap-bang in SECR territory: I can see the mid-Kent line out of my back bedroom windows. So in my opinion it is natural for me to want a few SECR rakes pulled by SECR locos to run over my BR layout now and again. After all, it's my model railway and I'll run what I like.

Haha! That's another of my pet hates: a typo. I've corrected it on my original now. Shame I can't correct it in your quote of what I wrote, so it will have to stay there for everyone else to laugh at me. Ah, well!

I'm sorry, this is one of my pet hates. I can see how the starving refugees can bake the multiseed bread, but I'm at a loss to see how the vegan butter can bake it also.

'Genesis' 4 & 6 wheel coaches in OO Gauge - New Announcement
Budgie replied to Hattons Dave's topic in Hattons
Likewise, I am sticking with Hattons. If any manufacturer is stuck for a model to make in future, I will suggest the Electrostar to them. It seems neither Hornby nor Bachmann is interested in making them, and there are plenty of liveries that can be produced, which should result in a reasonable return for whoever comes up with them. Some 4-car suburban EMUs would also be welcome, such as the post-war all-steel 4Sub. -
So you can't get access at stations with low platforms and gas lighting. I am disappointed with this range, which duplicates Hattons' range somewhat. There are plenty of other things that Hornby could have made, see wishlists passim. Someone said that this gives people choice, but for those of us who would like a few Electrostars we have no choice at all as nobody makes them. Same for earlier Southern EMUs such as the 4COR and the 4SUB.
-
While you are making those decisions, 4-6-2 or 2-8-2? Or how about making both?
-
I thought the BR standard kocos were built to satisfy R A Riddles's ego. And why was Duke of Gloucester built? That was never standard anything.
-
Stop complaining about things and just add them to the rules,
-
If we're expecting groan-worthy jokes, can we have the groan button back?
-
Looks to me like it was placed there deliberately. Or maybe it was photoshopped.
-
The answer's obvious: give them all gift vouchers from your favourite model shop!
-
Anyone who is younger than me.

Gentlemen, Is this how you react to every young lady? How would you react if it were your daughter entering the competition?
-
Can't you get a transfer for this?
-
So put something in the middle of the road under the bridge to stop vehicles toppling over, then.

Perhaps they are thinking you might want to wash up the glasses after you have recovered from your bacchanalian 0rgy.
