    EBay madness

    It seems another poor idiot has been looking at the prices for the, "non-railroad," A4s: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hornby-R2784X-00-Gauge-Br-Class-A4-Mallard-With-Decoder-Railroad-Locomotive-/400434245119?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item5d3bbdadff
  3. Had a great day! Saw the Geismar, the 3 111s, 90, 94 (out shopped within minutes of us seeing them!) (unfortunaltly we didn't see anything in action and missed the shunt) but has heard from a reliable source that THE GATWICKS AND THE DBSO WILL BE PRESERVED!!!

  4. WAHEY! Off to Belfast to go trainspotting with, "the gang." Wish us luck so that we get the chance to film a 111 (or even better, a 450 or an 80!)

  5. I'm going to GVS tomorrow trainspotting with,"the gang," tomorrow, so will take pics and will pm them to you if you want.
  6. Ok... Should I change my profile image to the one I usually use?

  7. What the hell we fighting for? Just surrender (and admit irish locos are better!) and it won't hurt at all...

      Unfortunately, they got rid of most of the interesting steam-powered ones....

      Poor wee mae... Maebv... Maebdvh... Or however you say it, 800, locked up in Cultra. At least 85 and 171 are kept for the purpose for operation!

      Put the tank amongst the tenders I say!

  8. Did you know that the CSET O&K Locos had a well tank as well as side tanks, making them 0-4-0T+WT, and that they also had an injector on one side and a pump on the other despite being built in the 1930s? You learn something new every day, eh?

  9. Hehe, fools, ignorant fools. My charm and witty remarks can trick anybody, eh?

  10. Happy 75th steam record anniversary!

  11. Hurrah! Saw an 071 (086) with the Tara Mines (but didn't go to Alexandra Rd.) AND a P&T Tamper passing through Clontarf during the daytime (very rare, apparently!)

  12. Off to Dublin I go! Hopefully will catch an 071 at Alexandra Rd.!

      I almost caught an 071 on eBay...

  13. What? Some of my updates have been deleted! If I was spamming, trolling or whatever I'm deeply sorry and didn't mean it! Oh, the shame!

      I really wouldn't worry about it. Nobody died.

  14. This article is a load of poo: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2347373/So-winning-war-smartphone-Amazing-new-maps-iPhones-favoured-rich-poorer-users-prefer-Androids.html. Look at the comments section as well; it disgusts me that someone can label millions of people they don't know as, "Shallow and vain," because of something as innocent as what kind of mobile phone they have.

    EBay madness

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Steam-train-spares-or-repair-/271226395933?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item3f265a5d1d Bidding is at £9.99 while I post this - I saw a live steam loco smaller than this which was mostly intact but it was nearly 70% rust which was priced at £85!
  16. My chunks of amber are becoming worryingly appetising.

    Very nice. Will sub!
  18. Poor Nelson Mandela. My heart is with him and his family.

  19. Grr... Why does everything I worry about go fine, but everything I don't worry about go awful!?

  20. These pictures are great. What differs them from a, "real," picture? If these, say, were shown to a non-enthusiast, would they be able to distinguish them from a real picture? And if they would be able to tell the difference, how? Will modelling ever get any more realistic?
  21. Hmm... I can't delete a topic which I made to ask a stupid question... How embarrassing!

      It's only stupid if at the time you didn't know the answer - its called learning and I wouldn't worry about it at all. I am the king of the obvious question and I think even if it is obvious when you know, the question being n RMWEB might help someone else too. Leave it and learn from it say I!

      Don't worry - I don't think anyone knows about it ;-)

  22. My generation is screwed: the majority of people in my class do not know who David Cameron is or know how to use a compass, while they frown upon the small amount of people who try to do well in their exams and do volunteer work rather than play, "Xbox," or whatever and listening to, "pop," music while wasting their lives on Facebook. Depressing, isn't it?

      In this day and age, who'd be a teacher? And why? I earn more as a docker than my contemporaries do as teachers.. And I feel that degrees earned these days mean far less than they used to.
