Just sold a Athearn BC Rail Boxcar on UK Ebay last week. Maybe the market is better here?

you certainly are one of the lucky ones, even used my layer and I got nought.

Well done stay positive.

I bet she was running all the steam loco's running tender first while laughing maniacally

Buggsration ! *hugs*

On what grounds if I may ask?

Spousal assault for a single push. I got pushed and shoved about a dozen by my wife before I pushed her away from me during a heated row.She went to the Police and I got arrested and charged. At no point would the police allow me to counter claim for assault nor were they interested in self defence. Couldn’t afford the legal fees to go to trial so had to take a plea bargain . Absolute bl##dy joke !

Need a friendly/supportive button on these comments...

Hope things are sorted out for next year.

I feel your pain, lofty. Been there - but the person responsible eventually got their comeuppance. Hang in there.

Hang in there. It will be tough but you will come out a better person at the end. Take care.

I am informed that it does not seem to matter what has happened, the bloke always has to accept that more or less half of everything that is his, including pension, will become 'hers'. Seems like a bum deal when it is 'her' that has done the dirty with someone else or has just pi##ed off. Not suggesting this for lofty's situation but generally and including my lad's case.

My wife had an affair 5 years ago. We stayed together for the kids. It had been fairly quiet til she announced she wanted a divorce in feb/March . Then after a row she claims I assaulted her and I get arrested and charged and automatically barred from the family home under Canada’s zero tolerance on spousal abuse and also given a no contact order to my youngest son. So barred from home , barred from the two pubs owned by the wife and I and barred from speaking to my youngest son.

I was t...

Hope you manage to resolve your situation *hugs*

Hope things turn round! Best wishes.

Hope you get sorted soon.

Been there done that, all 'our'friends were her friends!

Also "been there, done that", realised that I hadn't lost any friends, just acquaintances.

If it wasn’t for my model making hobby , I think I would go nuts. Coming on here is a bit like a “virtual” pub !

Thanx again chaps for support!

My colleague might be interested.... *kof*

She is 42 and that's about her waist size as well. You can call her Google as she knows it all Two pubs a fine dining restaurant on its way in June set in the Historic Railway Station building and a coffee shop for the local health unit due in March !

Well at least customers won't have far to go from the coffee shop....

I prefer lard.

Lardons are more genteel

It probably costs more within Canada because of being slowed down by all the extra weight they have to carry around from eating the lard.

I'm not complaining....you don't have to shovel sunshine.

WQT? Union time mate.

What Mallard said they can't do that whilst your sick from work get the union on the case

What Union? Small independent business . Canadian law is different to UK so will have to look into it.

Sounds like there is a story there ... ?

There certainly is ! Moral of the story is never go into partnership with your best friend and make sure you have a legally binding contract with regards to your 'stock' being part of a business start up. I lost 11 Grand cash and about six Grand of loco's , rolling stock etc !
