Trebor

thought you'd been a little quiet for a while, now I know, get well soon buddy, hang in there, it will all come good in the end.
Oh drop me a message when you escape the prison and I will give you a call

best wishes

Unfortunately, I was unable to attend, but I have a question, was Mad About Trains present at the show this year? 

the KX shop is now a nandos chicken emporium.... they call this progress.......

Ah, I think we have discovered the entrance portal the CK's magical kingdom of the sausage

I also noticed this old hut next to the line:

Be Careful, there are different diameter banana plugs/sockets, 2mm and 4mm, I would suggest we standardise on the 4mm variety as were not doing N Gauge :-)

Wheels need a clean !

Have a look here http://www.free-mo.org/standard

Suggest that these might be amended to suit UK practice.

I might even have a crack at some boards if it moves forward, might even be able to source space for an annual meet in a converted goods shed, now used for other events (subject to funding)

onwards with the discussions....

or an inverted figure of eight, so you get to go around twice

How much would a complete, working, good S/H Class 37 cost?

And you would get a body, chassis, motor etc!

 

or you could have this:

Keith

which is intresting as he has been selling these chassis for ages, whats he done with the bodies, boxes etc, surely you would get more for the whole model..... Or am I just being a bit fick !

Adrian, you are really a nutter, all those cuts

I recently bought this postcard, which I thought you might be interested in.

 

High res scan would be nice via email if you have a scanner. Never seen this card before, where did you get it?

munching his chips

said the mugger

Yes I was thinking the same thing. The word we're looking for rhymes with "juggling", I believe...

I was only kidding of course, I would never suggest that one should smuggle anything......   

Ron, You mention that you can get MEK no problem and that Dichloromethane (Plastic Weld) is not available in normal consumer size containers, what size containers are available then?

regards

The Royal Mail will no longer accept solvents, etc. as mail items. So these items are now sent by courier. However, these items are also on the banned list of items of airline operators which most overseas couriers use

 

The only way that these items can be sent from the UK to Spain is via road/ferry, etc., which most courier companies don't operate. That is the problem

 

Dichloromethane (Plastic Weld) is not available in normal consumer size containers, but Butanone - MEK - Methyl Ethyl Ketone is available as a PVCu cleaner/primer in 500ml tins for €2.40 from the local plumbing and DIY stores

 

MEK is ok for ABS and with care also for styrene (very small strip can snap without warning)

 

Cheers

A resourceful man like you Ron, photoshop some spurious labels and get your family to de-label and relabel it to something else. Then the next time they come out to you Ron shove it in the hold luggage shouldn't be a problem, when you consider the aerosols that people place in the luggage for flights I would have thought they would be much more volatile. Lets face it Spainish border controls are not the tightest to say the least.  

On a recent trip to Tenerife, we had a 7hr delay for the flight home, those nice people at Thomson Holidays feed and watered us and then shipped us back to the airport, when we went back through security the xray operator was more intrested in stirring his coffee than noticing that Mrs Trebor was carrying 500ml sealed bottle of water, which she had purchased airside some 5hrs earlier (before the whole flight was turfed out of the airport)  no challange, infact did not even bat an eyelid....

You really must get out in the garden more Ron, you must be going stir crazy with all those glazing bars.

breathtaking, is all I can say

dcc sound decoders

Why use expensive lace pins when .7 brass wire from eileens (other sizes and suppliers may exist) does just as good a job, bend over one end, cut to size, solder to rail, jobs a good un

just saying.....
