    Johnster, the sides on my recent build Parkside 1/109 mineral have taken on a distinct inwards bow! It is therefore unsuitable for use unloaded, darn it! I’ve just received another four from Hattons, doh! Tim T

    Johnster, you have to have a broad imagination to recognise the poor blobs that masquerade as coupling hooks on the Parkside mouldings! I use Wizard or LMS ones Tim T

    Depending on when you count the years of a decade that is only six months away! Tim T

    What a very odd tender that is, unequal wheelbase and a very lightly loaded middle axle. I wonder what the thinking was? Tim T

    I have to agree. In fact, as an impecunious (tight-fisted) pensioned off railwayman, I view the totality of RMWeb as my “club”, you are a great bunch of people Tim T

    Johnster, remembering the vintage of the original kit you’ve done an excellent job there. As our house move to Swansea is on hold I might have to unpack my two anddo something with them! Tim T

    That is the only “Watersmeet” that Google and Wikipedia give you? Tim T
  15. timbowilts
    Herr duck, I would question your description of Watersmeet as a settlement, consisting solely of a single dwelling, the fishing lodge? I’m very familiar with it, having walked up from Lynmouth several times over the last 30+ years of married life. In fact it is where my wife wants her ashes scattered. Tim T

    Dart Castings item 2330S are sprung square shank buffers, temporarily out of stock though Tim T

    That principle is used today by several European and North American loco builders. They provide multiple small diesels, each connected to its own alternator, that are fired up as required to drive the conventional traction motors. The idea is to reduce both emissions and fuel consumption Tim T

    Mr Wright, Sir, I’ve just read your piece in the June RM. What’s with this phrase you used “in retirement”? Don’t see much evidence of you slowing down? Tim T

    Well it has arrived! Body and bogies were £104 including shipping. Shame about the size of the box it came in!

    Which one? Tim T

    If they are doing their own design how can he stop them?
