  1. Walking On Sunshine - Katrina And The Waves
  2. Just a little over the top in price. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Hornby-Thomas-The-Tank-Engine-Friends-Set-/181018998845?pt=AU_Toys_Hobbies_Model_Railways&hash=item2a2592b83d Considering I bought most of these for my son, Thomas new for $55.00, Percy new for $45.00, Toby 2nd hand for $40, and Gordon 2nd hand for $73.00, Annie & Clarebel new for $29.90... Buy it now, don't think so, could buy it new for that kind of money, including some track...!
  3. Things I Don't Understand - Cold Play
  4. G'day Jon, I have had the same problem on my son's layout with small four wheel wagons derailing on the points, whilst travelling towards the facing point, but not in the opposite direction. His wagons are derailing on Peco Set track curved points. Everything had rolled through the points prior to ballasting, but has been causing problems since. There are no obstructions in the way of loose ballast, but I did notice a dip mid-way through the point. This was eleviated by just loosening the track and placing small pieces of styrene under to level out the length within the point. Seems to cure the problem, but occasionally still derails on or two wagons. Maybe I need to do what you have with the extended check rail, unless it is the wheels themselves. Cheers, Gary.
  5. Travelling Riverside Blues - Robert Johnson
  6. Dizzy Miss Lizzy - The Beatles (albeit a cover of the orignal, by Larry Williams)
  7. I hope we can allow the above comments from Torr Giffard & Metroland to slip sideways and carry on from Brit 70053's song title, 'Tide is High' - Blondie... High 5 - Beck.
  8. G'day Jon, The layout has come some distance since displaying the track plan back in mid March. Looking foward to seing more progress on your layout if the branchline is anything to go by. Keep up the good work. Cheers, Gary.
  9. I Can't Quit You Baby - Led Zeppelin
  10. Hi Les, The Quarry siding has come on great and the remote mineral loader looks fantastic. I built a loader very similar, although not as a conveyer style. They make great little cameo scenes in a confined space. Also gives a good reason to model mineral trains ! Please keep the black & white pics coming...! Cheers, Gary.
  11. Words (Between the Lines Of Age) - Neil Young
  12. I was standing out the front of a hospital, having a cigarette, minding my own business, when a man came up to me in a wheel chair and said, " Hey mate, why do you smoke ?". I looked down at him and replied, "Why the hell do you wear shoes...?" Three men walked into a bar. You would have thought that the first one would have seen it... Why do hippopotomus have big nostrels ? Seen the size of their fingers... What's the difference between pea soup and roast chicken ? Anyone can roast chicken... How do you hire a horse ? Put four bricks under his hoofs... What does a male monster do when a female monster rolls her eyes at him ? He rolls them back at her... How do you get an elephant up an acorn tree ? Sit him on an acorn and wait 20 years... What was Bill Clintons last rememberance of Monica ? "She had one of the prettiest faces I've ever come across..." How do you keep someone in suspense ? I'll tell you tomorrow... Cheers...
