      I'm considering taking a bulldozer down to the real Ropley and removing the bits I haven't finished yet!

      A layout is surely never done, especially when you have friends willing to unpick bits of it to re-do!

  2. I went to the zoo the other day. It only had one dog in it. It was a Shih Tzu.

  3. Don't slouch, Darling.

  4. Looking forward to the Abingdon show tomorrow!

  5. Was verging on a Malcolm Tucker moment at work today!

      I'm secretly hoping Peter Capaldi will have a similar moment as Doctor Who...

      They are switching to computer terminals instead of the books.

      For the first time I have no income and bags of enthusiasm where usually its the opposite :)

  11. Walked from Hope to Edale then back via Hollins Cross and Lose Hill today. So nice to be back in Yorkshire for a while, makes Hampshire look flat!

      I got thoroughly soaked to the skin there 2 weeks ago -

      It's in Derbyshire, by the way!

      It is indeed, but on the doorstep of Yorkshire!

  12. Typical. First time in months I have chance to do some serious modelling and the Mek bottle is completely dry. Curse you warm weather!

      Cellulose paint thinner works well as an alternative.

      Do you not put the lid on it? it does help...

    4. TomE

      TomE

      Lid was indeed on! It was a relatively old bottle so the seal may have been past its best.

  13. Well that's extra large bin liner No.6 gone. How on earth have I managed to accumulate so much stuff I don't need, including enough electrical cables to wire a 747!

    1. Phil Copleston

      Phil Copleston

      You never know when a certain Good Captain may pass by with an urgent request to rewire his Boeing 'airship' on the spot. And having only recently chucked that pile of cables out you'll look a right proper chump!! :-P

  14. Wondering if I'll need polar survival gear for the climb up the hill to AP this weekend!

      Show me where to rub... I'd much rather go on the train; I've heard there are engineering works on Sunday. I suspect they don't affect up trains from Basingstoke though.

      Maybe I can catch a 747 from San Fransisco tomorrow after I've driven the 350 miles down there. Then theres the tube from Heathrow to Wood Green and then I think I'll manage the last 2000 odd yards on foot! Have fun!!!

      PS I'll bring my Anorak!

  15. Was hoping for Pope Flasheart. At least he could have appeared from behind that curtain shouting "iiiits me! Hurray!"

      Captain Darling? Funny name for a guy isn't it? Last person I called darling was pregnant twenty seconds later.

      Phil Copleston

      Welcome to Cornwall, Tom. Here it was so blustery today, the rain was blowing upwards. Yuck! :-(

  20. When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.

  21. Happy New Modelling Year all!

  22. Merry Christmas everyone!

      My American friends insist on putting glittery stars and things loose inside their cards, so when you unknowingly open it... whooops, all over the carpet and your clothes! Sigh... the joys of an 'American Christmas'.

      A few bits of blue, yellow and silver glitter needed in Millward's yard to represent swarf?

      The sun can be splitting the paving outside but just enter the station and slip on the ice...

      Darlington Bank Top seems to think it's a wind tunnel...

      Dent is the coldest I've ever been to. It makes me shiver thinking about it

  25. Anyone passing Tucking Mill at Warley tomorrow please feel free to say hello! It's always good to put faces to Avatars!

      Phil Copleston

      My Avatar is 'blue' with envy! Please say "hello" to Jerry and Kim from me, Tom. Oh, and check out Maurice Hopper's S scale 'St Juliot' while you're at Warley, it'll be worth it!
