      What colour are you spraying the kitchen table?

    3. David41283

      David41283

      It would be errors like painting the kitchen table rail blue which could get me in trouble!

    Watching Bombay Railway and getting tempted to bash a DMU and absolutely smother it in figures - would be some model!

    A fair bit of text from my posts made in the last few days has disappeared, is this down to the software updates?

      It is a known issue and has been raised with the software provider and awaiting a response. It could be worse you could be parking cars for a living...

      Affects blog posts and signatures as well, just in case you might not have been informed of it yet. Fingers crossed the software company can help you guys!

    I can't be the only one who finds the use of a HALL class as Hogwarts CASTLE a problem with the Harry Potter films

    Being able to browse eBay on my phone, while watching the kids swimming lessons on a Sunday morning is financially crippling me!

    A letter in the new RM mag encourages you to search for a photo-editing software called "gimp". Explain that search to the Mrs.....

      Thanks for that. Good stuff. Do 20s carry 'Delner' couplings or whatever they are on the set?

    3. CovDriver

      CovDriver

      More than likely the mobile fitter would have brought the delner adapter coupling we have them in a cupboard on our 350's

    So are there any model railway "Black Friday" offers we should set our alarm clocks for?

    A pass for the afternoon - heading to Kernow Model Rail Centre to hurt my wallet!

  21. David41283

    Easy to say today's railways are dull, but I never used to see 56's,37's, 20's and 33's between Bristol and Paddington in the past!
