    It's amazing what a resurgence of modelling mojo and a new scalpel blade can do!

      Bloody fingers?

    2. Jack374

      Jack374

      Nope...some very precise plasticard shapes

  2. Jack374

    I've never had to scrub blobs of tar off my bike frame before...this heat is, umm, hot!

      The trees are dripping sap like it's going out of fashion. Another trip to the car wash beckons....

    2. Jack374

      Jack374

      Indeed...it's supposed to cool down tomorrow

      Not down here it's not. 24 deg.C overnight, rising to 31 after lunch. Think I'll spend the afternoon in M&S, standing by the freezer cabinets.

  3. Jack374

    Am I still in Britain? What balmy weather!

    1. Horsetan

      Horsetan

      Balmy or barmy?

    2. Jack374

      Jack374

      Barmy...I've fallen victim to a small keyboard and autocorrect

  4. Jack374

    Thunder and lightening, very very frightening...perfect weather for some modelling!

    'Cubs 100' at Blackpool Pleasure Beach...there are better ways to spend a weekend than with 8000 cubs, but it was good fun (when the rain stopped!)

  7. Jack374

    Well...I've worked a 9 to 5 shift today, but it's probably the most enjoyable I'll ever do, despite the rain. A day on the Santa Specials on the Ribble Steam Railway

      The words "Where's Santa" will haunt you for months lol

      Were you subjected to Tim and Alan singing?

    3. Jack374

      Jack374

      No, nobody was singing, it was actually very good, however this morning my legs and arms ache like b*ggery!

  8. Jack374

    CK will be pleased to know there's a team on 'Eggheads' now whose name is 'we love tripe'. Too boot, one of them owns a pork pie business...

      How Much?

  10. Jack374

    Has burn fingers, can smell solder constantly and has superglue all over his fingers too. A very productive day!

      Making mess means making progress! Sounds like you've been busy mate

    2. Jack374

      Jack374

      Yup, EWS coal hopper mods. I see you've been busy too, namely riding to Carlisle behind 37402! ;)

  11. Jack374

    Wow! If you're remotely in to proper music or drumming watch "Whiplash"...what a film!

    Excellent day today at the Sidings Hotel...topped off by seeing The Railway Children at York NRM...fantastic play with a 1:1 pannier tank involved!

      Jack374

      Yup, I've heard there's a Nitec Mini Mover to push the loco and coach in

  15. Jack374

      All a bit too close to the truth tonight.

      Been watching the red glow & billowing smoke over the hill to the west of us since about 10pm. There's a wood yard out there - perhaps an ex-wood yard by now!

  17. Jack374

    Leyland MRC's annual exhibition today and tomorrow at the Civic Center, Leyland. Do come and have a look if you're local, there's some great layouts and trade support, PM me for more details.

    Love the 'dreaded' eBay sometimes...took advantage of a poor description and won 4 Hornby OTA wagons for

      Nice one. Why does that never happen to me?

    3. Jack374

      Jack374

      You have to search for general terms people may look for, like 'wagon', and persevere. I won some Ultrascale wheels once for a very favourable price after I searched 'disc wheel'

  20. Jack374

    Question time is from a (former) roundhouse in Derby tonight.

  21. Jack374

    Leyland MRC's annual open day tomorrow, if you're local/in the area please do come and say hi! :)

    This new 3D Apple Maps is great for seeing yard and general details from the air...take a look at Wigan L.I.P for example
