      ...I wouldn't bet on that....however he is sensible and tends to only put in the bottom one. I didn't mention to the new owner the door bumpers on this coach either!!! He can do those if he is desperate.

  3. So someone now owns Biggleswade and Stoke Summit. Perhaps Stoke Summit may come up for sale again as Biggleswade is enough surely?

      Buggleswide was for sale about ten years back. I almost bought that! Stoked was for sale a few weeks back; I made an offer of the asking price and didn't even get a reply!!!!! I'm obviously meant to build my own thing........:)

      Is pedantic exactly the right word?

    4. Mallard60022

      Mallard60022

      Not IMO! Tornado is not a preserved locomotive....fact. I have always wondered why it isn't discussed in the Prototype Discussions section.

      £5 in the local second hand bookshop for a pristine copy of Geoff Holt's Locomotive Modelling and it goes to local charity groups.

  13. I have now found the missing 4mm diesels in a box I didn't recognise! However, I am sure there were 3 Heljan 47s in there and they are not. Weird!

      Don't forget you loaned BCB a class 25, which you must take back

    4. Mallard60022

      Mallard60022

      Ah that Class 25; thanks Indom but I have the papers concerning that lease :) and it is EM of course. It is some missing OO Heljan TTG 47s and a couple of Lima Sector Class 47s that I am sure I have not sold. SWMBO said do I have a list of stuff I've sold......nope! Doh!

      I'm sure you'd rather have saffron cakes though Phil !

    3. Mallard60022

      Mallard60022

      Oh yes. I think the latest keep healthy/fit ploy is to eat a reasonable number of s'gones/saffron cakes and then do an appropriate number of lengths in the pool and followed by an hour in the gym. Trouble is it's getting a bit expensive and not leaving a lot of time for modelling!! Suppose I could finance all this by selling surplus kits etc. and then I wouldn't need so much modelling time anyway!

  17. OK so it's not that important but don't you just admire those nice people that damage your car in a car park and drive off without leaving a note to apologise. Didn't see it happen so I've got no chance.

      Wonder of wonders, the student's dad phoned me and we concluded amicably that it wasn't him that was the guilty party. So some other prick that was there when I first arrived must have done it; bas***ds
