      I built that several years ago. If I remember correctly, it took a lot of sorting beforehand.

      Oh yeah plenty of sorting.

      ... like shopping, for instance - especially if it's for food, or for something of no interest to you.

      Be careful you don't mix them up. Removing melted chocolate from a 150 could be messy.

      Hi I got Tim Horns base boards they were so easy to put togeather and very solid building my new layout Ashbrook on them and it's is coming along nicely.

      three base boards that bolt togeather very well and come apart for transportation well

      good luck on what you decide is best for you

      Id say that's a pretty safe bet mate. Did the evening go well last night?

      Well I wasn't killed by a clown puppet, so I'd call it a win.

    4. GWRPhil

      GWRPhil

      That sounds like there's an interesting story behind the clown.

  10. Wanting to be having a prototype train day in this beautiful weather. Gotta work though

  11. Wonders why an RAF pilot in a chinnook feels if necessary to fly over our village and Folkestone and Dover at midnight making one heck of a din.

      Apologies to the crew of the chinook I know they need training and do a highly valuable job for the country. Was just so tired last night and have early start this morning my frustration just came out in status form.

      It being a small world and all, it was probably my mate Al, aka Johnny Vaughn, aka Foghorn Leghorn. He's not subtle, just like the aircraft!

      of the choices so far i have to say the cajun turkey and roast potatoes has it so far, although the veg curry does sound tempting

      No that's what he's getting the cajun dish it was his turn too cook but he hurt his arm so I get the job lol

      to get back to the original ncomment was more railway related than dinner related

  13. the fibre revolution has arrived. 40Mb broadband its great

  14. how much of this year will it take me to get my layout to the stage where i can have an operating session rather than just a modelling/construcion session

    1. Satan's Goldfish

      Satan's Goldfish

      'too much' is my guess.

  15. Merry Christmas and a happy new year.

  16. Does anyone have any artist impressions of the br class 61, what the 66was imagined to possibly be before it was built? If so could you pm me. Thanks

      Nevermind, found it! Refered to as class 61 in Rail Express issue 2 and artists impression in Rail Express issue 3....confirmation it's going to be 66 in issue 4.

      Satan's Goldfish

      One of my old 'Rail' magazines has an artists impression of what they though the class 61 (that's what they though the 66 would be when the order was first mentioned) would look like; class 59 style cabs and a narrow class 58 style central body......So you could turn it into an EWS class 61...

    3. GWRPhil

      GWRPhil

      That's an intriguing notion. Don't suppose you've got any pics have you?

    4. Satan's Goldfish

      Satan's Goldfish

      1, somewhere in an old 'Rail' mag. I was going to use the chassis to create something freelance one day anyway.

  18. have decided to dip my feet into n gauge and build layout. maybe i should have thought of something les daunting than modelling ribblehead!!

    1. 87023Velocity

      87023Velocity

      Joining the n gauge club aswell bought a Dapol 86!, Ribblehead sounds interesting.

    2. DJM Dave

      DJM Dave

      You know N gauge makes sense ;-)

  19. how much longer it'll be until Dapol finally release the hia wagons i'm wanting

    1. Satan's Goldfish

      Satan's Goldfish

      A watched manufacture never boils...... The kettle never makes the wagons you want quick enough.... i think one of those is correct...

    2. DJM Dave

      DJM Dave

      Lol, or indeed they havnt been started yet? ;-)

      Also added to my new route mileage today with a run down the loose branch and back.

  23. my life time ambition with railways would be to recreate IN FULL to scale Exeter St. Davids station to Saltash Station in Cornwall. so basically the entire great western mainline, including branch lines and preserved lines that exist in devon. oh and also the royal albert bridge over the tamar

  24. my expo spray booth arrives later this week can't wait to start using it. not sure i'm looking forward to the mess putting the neessary whole in the garage wall for the extraction hose will cause but a small price to pay for all the benefits i'll be getting

      Is it a 'whole' hole you're putting in or just a hole!!?

    4. GWRPhil

      GWRPhil

      no its definitely a 'whole' hole. a plain hole was just not enough
