    Hmm...The Lady of the Lake, Wizard of the Moor or Luckie Mucklebackit? Finally finishing my D11 restoration project and cannot decide on the engine to model!

      That's a good shout Max. I do like that name (not so much the connotations, of course!). There again, what about Maid of Lorn? So many good names in this class!

      Such a shame that they didn't name one "Mashie Niblick".

  5. S.A.C Martin

    Plates ordered, smokebox door too, 62768 project off to a flying start

      You've managed to source some of the parts then. Looking forward to seeing the build!

    Enjoying his little corner of Leeds this morning. Would love it to be bigger, but that's an aim for another time, another place, and hopefully with a bit more money behind him...!

  7. S.A.C Martin

    Can't shake off the tiredness, it's like trudging through syrup today.

      I know the feeling...

  8. S.A.C Martin

    The pillow beckoned, I dutifully fell upon it, and then was wide awake. Ah well, maybe tomorrow...

  9. S.A.C Martin

    Nine A1s with new chimneys, finally completed this evening. Time to enjoy 60114 with a Leeds-King's Cross express, going round. Never gets old.

  10. S.A.C Martin

    just brought a mug of tea up to my boss to find that he's reading RMweb!

      He's currently looking at the NRM Compound thread, taking great delight in the livery. I think we've got a convert!

      State you prefer 60103 in BR green, see what reaction you get!

      That is a rare boss you have my friend. Nurture him/her.

  11. S.A.C Martin

    the anxiousness is draining.

  12. S.A.C Martin

    60114 is running late past Copley Hill with the 10.37 to Bradford...

  13. S.A.C Martin

    So I have the correct tender, correct bogie, lots of plasticard, filler, and a replacement smokebox door for the D class "The Morpeth" rebuild of Hornby's D49...bring it on!

    1. Coldgunner

      Coldgunner

      Shall I stick on some montage music then?

    2. S.A.C Martin

      S.A.C Martin

      The A Team music feels most appropriate, along with the Top Gear adage: "Ambitious but rubbish!" :D

    3. Coldgunner

      Coldgunner

      lol! What about the locomotion?!?

  14. S.A.C Martin

    Downton Abbey time! Drinks and snacks ready and waiting. :)

      Really?

    2. S.A.C Martin

      S.A.C Martin

      Yes.

  15. S.A.C Martin

    the 4VEP saga continues...boldly going where no RTR Hornby EMU has gone before...

  16. S.A.C Martin

    LNER lining out = ARRRGGGGHHHHH

  17. S.A.C Martin

    How on earth do I get rid of this black border around my profile picture? Mystifying...the crop button for the photograph doesn't seem to work.

      Looks OK in the profile; I think there's just a re-sizing script for the micro version. I wouldn't worry.

    2. S.A.C Martin

      S.A.C Martin

      Right ho Andy, I'll leave it as is! :)

  18. S.A.C Martin

    wooo, found the spare Thompson bogie! One step closer to 62768 :)

  19. S.A.C Martin

    working from home today, the joys of working at one's laptop while still in bed with the flu...!

  20. S.A.C Martin

    Apologies to everyone I was MSN'ing - it's crashed again! :S

  21. S.A.C Martin

    Time to rip up Copley Hill, and rebuild it from the ground up in a new form...

    1. Coldgunner

      Coldgunner

      Doing another rendition of Copley Hill or something else entirely?

    2. S.A.C Martin

      S.A.C Martin

      Same shed, just want the shed and carriage works to look closer to the real thing. Going to change the materials I'm working in.

    3. Coldgunner

      Coldgunner

      Sounds good, would love to see pics once your done!

  22. S.A.C Martin

    Nameplate fell off the wall - never happened in the four years it's hung here. Is it an omen? O_O

    Just read what must be the most pretentious post he has ever seen on this forum - and he didn't write it! D:

  25. S.A.C Martin

    Curiouser and curiouser. One more thumbs down for every single video on my Youtube channel! Someone's out to get me - what a strange and pointless way of doing it!

      Thumbs down to the trolls! Ignore them!

      It's more amusing me than anything else. I've seen some strange behaviour on Youtube, but thumbing down a few videos of trains, or model railways just seems to be a bit odd. If you don't like the subject matter, why are you watching it...?!

      Those trolls get everywhere, alas the 'net seems to gather nutters faster than anything else; just ignore 'em and pity their tiny minds.
