I do to - I hate mobile sites

I have been hunting for the 'view desktop' option on the mobile option. It would be a shame if that wasn't available.

It probably won't be there, this looks to using Adaptive design, shrink the browser window on a PC worth mobile device size and the display of the content adjusts itself to mobile view.

May be related to another post I have just seen and reported.....

Status updates can be posted via the dropdown on the top bar, similar to old, but the sidebar is not active. 

I hadnt noticed the post count on the far right. 

Odd, as my latest status update was posted from the very point you claim to be inactive ....

This one? It works for me.

Welcome.

Where's that Spit? Agreed.

Now you know why I haven't used a fibreglass brush for years.

It probably has to go via their hub in Armpit,Nebraska

Your lucky Correios in Brazil take from 10 days to 4 months to get a packet from the SP to the north.

Now Thats a shipping time. So youll get it between when you want it and when you forgot you ordered it.

Still fighting the War of the Roses?

We still won

You've found drawings for a prototype HST hidden in the Horwich archives?

My model took a graceful nosedive and the wings ripped off.

Ha ha, I bet that was spectacular ? Sorry I laughed but it took me back to my childhood, when we watched a friends of ours fly his petrol engined spitfire, it went up and round and then down, down, down bang, propellor first Into the field surface, smashed to smithereens, he almost cried and 5 or 6 us 10 & 11 year olds just gawped as it happened, and then laughed but said "that was greeeeeat Martin, do it again"

No its fine to laugh. I did too to be honest. It wasnt too labour intensive anyway. A week of my life and $20 from an amazon gift card. And I already have plans for another. Next one Id like to fit with full RC gear.

Ouch!!

Yep. I ordered plasticcard from the UK, every single sheet damaged. The packaging looked to have been run over by a lorry multiple times.

I will go and look at Hardwicke and Cornwall. Hang on...

Both are indian red from floor to roof

Thank you. Id assume the LMS wouldnt have bothered changing that.

Damn. My vacation goal is unachievable then. Hmm. Maybe Ill stumble across something. I managed to in Paris.

There used to be a decent train section in one of the larger toy stores, but that went. There's Hobbyland at the end of the Vondelpark but even given my interest in Dutch stuff, I didn't find a huge amount there a year ago - friendly enough shop, though, but check opening times.

Paris is much better, indeed.

Try South East Finecast - they sell em'....

Southeast doesnt stock the Jinty wheels and theres no way I can contact them to ask.

Mainly trains doesnt stock the jinty wheels either.

Photo maybe?

Its currently forming a boil so no chance of infection yet. Though if it pops, Ill definately clean it, rub any and all burn cremes I can find on it, and bandage it up. Though it was a very minor burn to begin with.

It should not be a boil (a yellow filled zit) if it is get to a doctor PDQ. It should be a blister that is only filled with water, this normal. It will pop in a day of two and the skin under it will be a bit red but nothing to worry about.

Sorry, yes Ozzyo, its just a blister. Got my words mixed up.

I ordered the coal traffic kit, then ehattons had it for a cheap price with only a damaged box.

Sounds good Dependant on the age might come with plastic wheels which id advise binning and get some metal ones and metal bearings in there, runs so much better that way

I know the one from hattons has gibsons as it was in the photo. Id assume PetersSpares would keep more new stock than old, so hoping for metal, but either way I have a small stockpile of wheels. Though I did just get rocking w iron etches, so im torn between using them on the Ratio kits, or using them to scratchbuild more random stuff. Any good Diagrams you recommend?

Resistance is futile.....

Oh dear, Boris is getting amped up again....

Ohm alone?

Ah, I hate that feeling.

Nothing worse than planning out an evening of work, then after 'education' being too knackered to do anything

Yup. Whole week off planned and wham! GCSE revision homework everywhere!

Holding 3 link hooks in

ABS use them as handrail stanchions in their GWR shunters wagon. Very useful. Lovely things.

These are some big split pins though, bigger than any handrail knob in 4mm. Also I only got three of them. Kits from LRM for those curious.

You need a sign -

"Good food is NEVER rushed!"

Please wait. Your stomach is important to us. ....You are twenty-ninth in the queue.....

Boris, you are more correct than you know.

Its amazing how peope shoehorn in getting food into their commute. Then get mad when they arent first.
