How to get lynched at a model railway show

And I believe all places North of the Mexican border have Mexicans living in them....... -
Fingers crossed now that some of the things near the top of the list actually get produced.I no longer model in N but I suspect a strong likelihood that an N gauge shunters truck and King appear in the near future.
-
Perhaps CK should have a look at Bitton - plenty on there about sausages at the moment
-
Well, 96 pages now, not one blade of grass and not even a glimmer of a sausage factory........ (Edited because my fat fingers can't count)
-
But are they available from the current producer at the moment?? I know they are listed on his website, but judging from posts on RMWeb the availability of a lot of things he lists seems in doubt?
-
Or posting using a mobile phone in my case!
-
For anyone wondering about the sausage reference see the Bitton thread! Also makes a change from rhinos
-
Don't know where that smiley thing came from in last post - I didn't put it there!!! It does look like it's been eating sausages though......
-
I think you're absolutely right about steam age embankments etc in the steam age (although I am too young to remember it properly - I have just one memory of seeing steam when it would have been in use, so would have been around 1967-8) - photos bear this out. I also read somewhere about railways being responsible for spreading the seeds of Rosebay Willow Herb - how many models include this?
-
When did crop circles start appearing? - would they be out of period on a steam era model?
-
That looks great! And what a brilliant idea to use the extra, thinner piece of foam.
-
Has anyone ever modelled a crop circle? I am guessing it would be achievable by using very long static GRASS then flattening it appropriately?

'Bodgits Bitton Beef Bangers'
-
Has anyone considered that 'Bodgits Bangers' may be beef and not pork - after all Bitton will have a cattle dock........
-
He might not be OK when he gets back: someone suggested posting about sausages on his thread, hence the strange postings on the last few pages!
-
The storage idea sounds interesting - any chance of a picture?
-
And there's 'A Nod to Brent' with its rhinos ......
-
Don't tie your dog to a string of sausages
-
Whoops, out of the frying pan into... A whole new page about sausages!
-
“If you never try a new thing, how can you tell what it's like? It's men such as you that hamper the world's progress. Think of the man who first tried German sausage!” Jerome K. Jerome, 'Three Men in a Boat' (1889) Interesting fact: Jerome K Jerome was born in Walsall, which is about ten minutes drive from...... ......wait for it....... The Palethorpes sausage factory in Tipton (see earlier posts)

'There he got out the luncheon-basket and packed a simple meal, in which, remembering the stranger's origin and preferences, he took care to include a yard of long French bread, a sausage out of which the garlic sang, some cheese which lay down and cried, and a long-necked straw-covered flask wherein lay bottled sunshine shed and garnered on far Southern slopes.' Kenneth Grahame, The Wind in the Willows

I'm developing a phobia of German Sausage I fear the wurst
-
What kind of sausages do vampires like best? Fang-furters.
