  1. Not complaining but I think if I had a pound for every wood head line layout I saw I could afford to build a wood head line layout

  3. Random YouTube factoid. Was searching for Blackmil, the layout and came across a music artist called Blackmill, actually pretty good!

      I've found a future house mix that you might like. A lot of Heldens and Tchami stuff in it!

      Sounds good!

  4. Saw 92023 in Caledonian yesterday fresh from the works, driver tried to start it, there was a huge bang and smoke came from the converters! Then the thunderbird ad to go and rescue it

      PSHE - pointless sexual hellish education. Still 2 days in the asylum to go.

      I'd rather not bother but we get a longer Holiday when your back!

      We did double Sex ed which was interesting, a lesson on drugs with a legendary copper who made it funny and then something on relationships which was inproved by me and Brian aiming paper airplanes at each other! Great

      I suspect he might mean dandelion & burdock - nothing wrong with it, either - quite pleasant, actually.

       

      Saying that, Hoegaarden seems to work better for me.

      By 'White Noise' I take it you don't mean the deep house tune by Disclosure?

  9. Really can't be bothered with 'Never Let me Go' revision tonight. I am utterly bored

    1. TheIntercityhst

      TheIntercityhst

      Never Let me Go? b*gger that. You can panic when you have Spanish to lean in 5 days, Science, Maths, Media and product design homework due all at once. Conveniently that's what I've got to do.

    2. Captain Kernow

      Thanks for sharing that, Swifty. Are you feeling any more energised today?

      I would of filmed him on skype but at the first sight of the camera he turned the webcam off! Quite funny just seeing swifty loose the will to live.

      I dunno, you get some bird singing at you from outside your window and all you can do is tell her to shut up?!...

      I'll get a restraining order! Then again I'm not sure tweety pie is good at reading.

      Better make sure she doesn't know any mean seagulls, then, who could dive bomb you with the latest guano bombs when you step out of the house!

  14. French test done and I am happy to say i've got my predicted grade B!!

  16. 66414 ia no longer that nice shade of blue and is now a powerful 66! Must say i'm dissapointed, I did really like that livery!

      I'm surprised the plain blue one got repainted before the others still carrying a rival operators corporate colours!

    3. TheIntercityhst

      TheIntercityhst

      It would of made more sense to do to 414 what they did on Ex-aggregate shed 66623. just put some big yellow stickers down the side!

      DRS Crewe On A Mission

      If I'm honest the new DRS 66 livery is growing on me and I will definitely be buying a couple when Bachmann release 434. Not sure why 414 has run around for that long in the plan blue in use with Freightliner anyway they have had it nearly four years! They still have 413, 415, 418, 419 and 420 still left to repaint yet as well! Why not just send one at a time to Eastleigh Arlington for repainting I don't know. Unless Freightliner just wanted to save money and get a while longe...

  17. No 57s in the new announcements, should be a cheaper year!

      I agree Tom, not much of interest tbh! Wonder when the DRS 57 and 37 will appear?...

    3. Swifty11

      Swifty11

      It's in the Bachmann area on the forum mate, go to the home page tab and there's a thing with the link on there too saying Bachmann new announcements

      DRS Crewe On A Mission

      Cheers mate I have found it! Not many DRS locos but their is a FL Powerhaul 66416, Revised Compass 66434, FL 70015 and Colas 70805. Think its going to be an expensive couple of years even without as many DRS locos haha!

      There is a without lyrics version too, but it just feels like its missing something? Must be because i herd the lyric version first
