    I can actually use this new mobile version! I couldn't stand the old one but this is good. Intrigued to see the new PC version now too. Overall a thumbs up from me!

      Agreed mobile much better than before

      That's the best status update I've heard in a long time. Enjoy

      Not any more it isn't but it did look a bit wonky as it got moved away.

      It had certainly begun to list

      I'd certainly be interested to know exactly what happened, doesn't seem likely to have been an engine failure. Was the watch paying attention? Did they drag the anchor?

      Nor are they magnetic for that matter

    Is slowly falling victim to the lure of getting a project car, the last thing I need is another expensive hobby...

    Walked home in a hurry to calm the dog after the fireworks display only to find him asleep as peacefully as ever, snoring away... on the sofa which he's not allowed on unless invited, should tell him off but it's very cute

      Sounds like a typical owner of a typical dog.

      I feed dogunit outside (she's a messy eater), the last 2 nights she's gone out for food while neighbours have been letting off fire works and she could not care about them less, tea time is far more exciting!

    Had no idea that a Hornby Maunsell 4 compartment brake in BR Green had so much in common with Unicorn excrement. Both seem excessively rare at a price below extortionate

    I wish there was a "Good Point" button for when someone has made a good point but I don't "Agree" with it

    1. Hroth

      Hroth

      Good point....

       

      :-)

       

      There should also be a "Grone" button for bad jokes or punes.

      I got it one piece at a time, and it didn't cost me a dime...

  13. WD0-6-0

    Particularly enjoy my commute to work, I pass the van of a builder who specialises in off road parking, parked on the road...Is there a wheeltappers thread for amusing ironies?

      12-19 "The Four Boys"formerly based at Amble. It's now off to live out it's days among superyachts in Falmouth (as a working boat rather than a yacht itself of course)

      It was a good trip motoring from Poole to Brixham yesterday and then to Falmouth today, they go lovely!

      Out on the water is probably the best place to be on a day like today!

    It was bit too hot in the engine room today!

    Is anybody going to the Tallyllyn gala on saturday

      Possibly.

      Misread that as Taliban Gala. Initially worried but okay now.

      I do hope there's none of that going on in Tywyn this weekend haha

  21. WD0-6-0

    Competent crew qualification this weekend, Tallyllyn next and more competent crew the weekend after. A fun few weeks

    Did it think the weather was supposed to be this good today?

    1. LNERGE

      LNERGE

      I'm hoping it will improve with thunderstorms later. The Met Orifice seems to think that will be the case.

    Why are second hand bogie bolsters so expensive?

    1. Bill

      Bill

      Thanks for the heads up!

    2. Kestrel

      Makes me wonder how much my Hornby Dublo bogie bolster complete with original box is worth.

    Is wondering what the best match for Seat alloy wheel silver Is, it'll be a VW group paint but which one...

      Don't like the sound of a badly damaged alloy or "Learning to repair it" . You'll have to get the tyre off for a start and that won't be easy. I would get a replacement from a breaker or eBay

    3. WD0-6-0

      WD0-6-0

      It's bad cosmetic damage, actual real bad damage and I would replace the wheel. As for learning to repair it, I'm a marine engineer by trade so have the skills to do a lot of things and if I can't I know lots of people who can

    4. WD0-6-0

      WD0-6-0

      Also, tyres off already, needs a new tyre anyway because the current one is nearing the end of its useable life so taking the opportunity to put a fresh one on

      Presumably you’ll fix a ply? top to it, then find because of temp expansion coefficients it will go banana shaped as temp. changes.
