    Pre-Grouping pedantry, purchase, not sale, surely? (Yes, I know, don’t call me ——)

    All they’ve got to do now is start getting greenery out of places like retaining walls, before the brickwork becomes really ropey.

    Couldn’t work out what the plane is supposed to be, the way it’s presented as part of a tableau with aircrew and vehicle suggests it one from “heco tinplate models”, who they?, dunno.

    Captain, I’ve gained the impression you’re not totally in favour?

    Something a bit smaller would be nice:

    You wouldn’t even consider moving the “Toonerville Trolley” to Norfolk?? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vlW8qKapHcc

    You can bare your soul to us, my son..

    I expect they still harboured a subconscious desire to go out and get wrecked, though?

    I was in the loft, matey, it don’t get more exciting than that!

    Must be a bank holiday, they’re having to camp on the buffer beam.
  12. Northroader
    Oo- ooo! As it’s a bank holiday, can I shove a pre-raff in, please?

    Does Bill Haley and the Whizzhards have the same ring to it, though?

    Well, even if it does, you’re perfectly free to replicate it. Anyway, who wants to be outside risking damaging their skin in this sunshine?

    I’ve got a Crampton built using the methods outlined in that film, they’re funny engines, though, the way you have to build them is like nothing else. So far I got it pulling trains, but it still needs the outside motion to be made, every so often I look at it and think, naah. Credit to mike, he achieved it in 4mm.

    Talking of birds, I notice on the Southern 3rd rail feeder substations you can usually find a big plastic eagle owl has been perched, presumably to scare birds off making nests there, but this hasn’t happened with the GWML substations. Keeping costs down, I suppose?

    Way back I did a module with overhead wire, just a bit of copper wire soldered up off masts. It didn’t look that brilliant, I think because really you need some tension on it to keep the sags out, springs? I’ve seen it done at shows where they had a removable span which just hooked into place with small loops at the baseboard joins, so this was unhitched before you divided the layout. Your line looks really well made, although the last time I was there I was stepping off a boat train hauled by a J15.

    Leave the fluorescent tubes, but replace the tungsten with LED.

    I expect market day at Castle Aching would look similar to this:

    There’s been an entertaining read on this thread recently, just shows what a star Andy Y is.http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/133485-new-crowdfunded-project-from-lococraft-lms-diesels-1000010001/page-1

    Just as long as you don’t order an O class next!

    When I was a kid, a bloke near us had the nickname “knockmammydown”.

    Nice locos to have, Seaboard next?

    Gosh, there’s some very classy models in that lot, really drooled over the Chapelon Pacific, and a very nice cake to stodge on. Good day out. Did you take anything, I couldn’t recognise any?
  25. Northroader
    Ooh,..Aye..
