    Passed the remains of 43125 & 43128 on a low loader this evening on the M42. Looks like the HST cull has begun!

      Saw them both, debranded, with six coaches as 5Z46 St Philips Marsh to Chaddesden Sidings on 6th June.

    Junk mail today included a reply paid envelope. Stuffed it to capacity with paper and card from the recycling bin and posted it off. Childish but VERY satisfying.

      Great idea. I get an 'extended warranty' leaflet every month with a pre-paid envelope, this might persuade them to stop.

    Went out for dinner to celebrate my daughter's 10th birthday. Ended up spending 5 hours down A&E after my stepson decided to dive head first down a slide a knock several teeth out

      Sorry to hear that, I hope he's feeling better soon.

    A baseboard for a new micro layout has been built. However I am banned from having more layouts so I can only work on it while she is at work. A new thread will apear in the pre-grouping section soon-ish

      My micro layout is a 'scenic test track'. Looking forward to seeing a track plan.

    What would you do if you found a £20 note on the floor of your local newsagents ?

    1. jamesg

      jamesg

      Someone left a £10 note in the supermarket self service machine the other day. I handed it in, the assistant said she know who had been using the machine, so hopefully it has been reunited with its owner.

    Ended up impulse purchasing a half-cab 1F despite it being the wrong region. Now to justify it... Damn you Bachmann!

      jamesg

      Not far at all from the Midland Railway at Peterborough - it probably happened at some point. The 1F is a cracking model, anyway!

    I have just taken delivery of my first ever 3D printed items: some GWR Dean bogies and some GWR 9ft American bogies. What would Swindon of a century ago make of this?!

    Lead free solder is the spawn of Satan.....

      It takes getting used to, but when you go back to leaded, that seems to melt too easily. You can still buy leaded solder easily.

    has fitted an LED to the firebox of a Hornby Terrier.

    1. jamesg

      jamesg

      An LED and a resistor will just fit, soldered directly to the pickups at the back. The leads of the LED and resistor will go under the footplate, either side of the screw pillar. The effect isn't brilliant - it would be nice to use a decoder with a flicker function - but I'm happy proving that it can be done.

      Ten of the fifty are preserved; that's impressive for a class last built in 1880.
