  1. Do you mean that weird stuff they abandoned when i was at primary school? I use kg now as it is easier to read on my scales. I have no issues at all with veggies, as they get on with life and usually like cheese. Vegans however, they are too pushy and make sure everyone knows. And do not like cheese. Fish, i dislike lots but cod is fine. Most smell horrible, as to sea bugs, they stink.
  2. I have turned down lima wheels using its own motor. 08
  3. I do need a few br 5 planks of i think 1/034. No one does them. May have to convert something pre nationalisation.
  4. Older ones were easier, no carving off just drill bigger. I prefer the older pc02 to pc02a. 3 to carve off 1 running LMS clasp underframe, 2 running roller bearings, all new buffers. Peco versions are more brittle.
  5. Agjh Parkside wagon kits now have moulded on buffer bases, which are too short, and more work than older to correct.
  6. I have been doing a rather boring job today. Soldering on door hinges on comet sides
  7. I have been stripping and recycling all my old railway magazines, going through early 2000s. I can spot a TW loco build at first glance now. Keeping between 0 and 10 pages per magazine. Oh and I can get in my garage.
  8. I consider myself lucky, mainly digestive issues, and fatigue.
  9. Netherlands with shunters, and EM2. Portugal with EE stuff. Bulgaria 87. Mexico HST. Australia various NZ the Bo Bo Bo ftom brush.
  10. Only found out this afternoon. Very little about it.
  11. He churns them out, very high profile, helpful. So very expected. Who do you think I voted for?
  12. I am goig to Comet for future ones looking at teh poor RTR availablitly
  13. And even worse to the original car owners. Why would you want your car to have a worse badge?
  14. Usual badge thing, buy a car for the badge not the car, hence Mercs, BMWs, Audis over the top models of more mainstream companies. I have seen on sale body kits to turn your normal brand executive car into an Audi branded one.
  15. Legal reason to assassinate people, calling a Sunbeam, a Horizon.
  16. I liked the Avengers and Sunbeams.
  17. I unplugged my Pioneer BD burner as I accidentally kept opening it with my knee, if I need to burn will plug back in.
  18. They do seem to be, unlike teh 1.0 and the V6s
  19. There is a warning badge on it which says Ford. I do not trust Ford engines at all. Enough that I would not buy any Land Rover product newer than 2007* due to engine problems. * That is Defender, but a cheap blown engine newer Defender with a rusted out Discovery 2 as parts donor would be OK. V6 Diesel - cranks 2.2 2.4 Diesel - not that long lasting and not very reliable Ecoboom - engine a service item, an expensive service item Essex V6 - generally unreliable Cologne V6 - poor compared to competitors (see Vauxhall Opel 6s of V and straight) Pinto - just not a good engine year 2000 about 2.5 and 3.0 V6 petrols, wear out (boss had a X type). The 2.2D was fine though
  20. Peugeots used to be really good, 405 was good, I did like the 504. Mercs are not premium now, but overpriced tat. By my favourite large saloons were GM when GM was still going, the V Cars, Senators, Carltons, Omegas, they were better than the so called premium brands. I have had 5 of them.
  21. Tuned 1600 which valve bounced just over 7200 rpm and was 90 at the rear wheels. Was fast road not race. So about 115 or so at crank.
  22. A 205XS tried to beat me at traffic lights once, (Sunbeam) first lights I did not really try, next lights I hit power band when he hit max revs, mine had close ratio box and tall gearing. Third set, nothing. So tall gearing Sunbeam was similar up to 20 to 30 then the serious power cut in. Would JUST do 60 in second.
  23. When i last serviced mine people kept asking what was wrong with it. What is wrong with spending a couple of hours changing diff. oil?
  24. Just having a nose at new sales, and if you want to buy blue grey carriages, there are not many available. Decided I will most likely be taking the Comet route for a couple of sleepers I want. But those Portholes look nice from Bachmann. For my next mark 1 set may just put Comet sides on Lima and Triang bodies.
  25. Family barges are quite cheap to insure for young drivers as not the usual purchase,
