    Paddy is also quite pleasant although my preference is for Bushmills 12yr old malt Irish. Enjoy !
  2. Black 5 Bear
    Very lacklustre to say the least.

    I love the onset of Autumn accompanied by the availability of dark ales such as you've mentioned. Enjoy !

    Maybe some news on the Engine Shed blog which is due tomorrow the last Friday of the month.

    Wasn't the coreless 5 pole motors an issue with the GWR 94xx? These motors don't like feedback controllers according to Bachmann.
  6. Black 5 Bear
    Best of the best !
  7. Black 5 Bear
    Suspect this was very much a local offer unfortunately.

    A veritable bargain in the form of a Bavarian black lager beer brewed by "And Union" of Germany. Waitrose St Ives had these cans reduced from £1.80 to 55p. Rich and toasty and very reminiscent of Czech Dunkel. 5% ABV in strength. Recommended !

    Quite possible as a "One Off" or a mismatch for some reason, tender repairs ? Thanks again gents !
  10. Black 5 Bear
    That was what I thought. A fellow modeller seems to think one was matched to a 4MT on a trial basis, although he can't evidence the fact. Thank you for clearing this up.
  11. Black 5 Bear
    Could anyone please confirm whether or not the above locos were paired with the Type 1A tender during their lifetime?
  12. Black 5 Bear
    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder lol !

    "Certain Models" being the Hornby Stanier Black 5, 8F, Rebuilt Merchant Navy to start with. Any upgrades to these model would infact be most welcome and IMHO sell very well. At the end of day, each to their own !

    You only have to look at the pricing of some of his other items to see this is the case. For instance, an LMS Railroad Compound for £187 odd !
  15. Black 5 Bear
    Or this, an early Railroad 9f. Someone is having a laugh ! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/667-Hornby-R2248-Class-9F-2-10-0-92239-BR-black-Weathered-Mint-Unopened-/353458542661?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0

    Because "Certain" models made by a certain manufacturer are well past it detail and mechanism wise and need to be updated. After all, that is still the plan at Hornby, which is upgrades of existing models, some of which have already been done like the Duchess, Princess, King and Coronation Pacifics.

    Or another 4.6.0 in the form of a Stanier Black 5. Loads of variations for a ubiquitous locomotive.
  18. Black 5 Bear
    My favourite is their delicious Chocolate Stout.
  19. Black 5 Bear
    On offer at Morrison's today was this golden ale Breadwinner, produced from unsold bread. This beer is Brewed by the Saltaire Brewery of West Yorkshire fame. Coming in at a healthy 4.4.% ABV with an orange tangy taste. The best is yet to come, it's on offer for £1 per bottle. Thoroughly recommended !

    The 3 axle Palethorpes van has got to be in line for a serious revamp to modern standards in the near future.
  21. Black 5 Bear
    I'm reliably informed that authorised dealers get a credit for returned items. These are then apparently returned to Hornby via courier. I can only see a model shop losing out financially if the item was posted out to you. As you describe it as local you're probably going to collect it from them. Better that than being stuck with something that isn't up to the mark and grates the eyes !
  22. Black 5 Bear
    Somewhat disappointing to say the least on a model that we've had to wait literally ages to reappear into their range. Hornby have yet again ruined an otherwise fantastic loco with another poor rendition/interpretation of "Brunswick Green". This will only change and strike home in Margate, when potential purchasers vote with their wallets.
  23. Black 5 Bear
    No beer, now that is serious lol !
  24. Black 5 Bear
    Or try the English Whisky Company (Rudham) and their range of malts. The Norfolk Original MW really takes some beating. An extremely palatable, smooth and fragrant drink matured in bourbon oak casks. Pricey compared to other products, however definitely something different from a small family distillery. Recommended !
