    Wagons! Ephemera! The blood boils. The revenue-earning life-blood of the British railway system, the absolute bread and butter compared to which passenger carriages are the merest icing on the cake! (As for locomotives - don't get me started on locomotives: revenue-consuming wastrels, especially those big fast ones.) What was it @34theletterbetweenB&D said on my spoof chaldron thread? It can be applied to mineral wagons in general:

     

     

     

    Do you need to sit down now? ;)

     

    Plenty of GWR junk at York these days, so no reason why there can't be the odd bit at Little Bytham too ;)

    Just bear in mind at the moment SEF orders are taking a long tine to fulfil, as a result of furlough and level of orders. I hope to get the first part of an order of 20 or so parts in mid December from an order in July. 

     

    In April I asked about some etchings for another range they have taken on. They said a week. A chase in late April and then August with no reply, I've given up now, and managed to find them elsewhere.

    Can I be rude about Jimmy Carr?

     

    Is he stupid?

     

    On millionaire and did not know about Mallard.

     

    Jeremy was shocked as he knew.

     

    Lost 31000 by not knowing his Gresley pacifics

     

    Is he thick? Not sure - got caught tax for evasion or avoidance didn't he? Is he funny? Nope. Not even remotely.

    Seems a bit alarmist. Unless you have some unusual habits, you're unlikely to inhale anything when using PB wire or strip for pick-ups.  Inhalation only becomes an issue if you are machining or grinding the alloy.

     

    Perhaps I need to revisit my methods? Can it be done without use of an angle grinder? :D

    You lot are just callus.

     

     

    Kev.

     

     

    Surely you don't expect us to toe the line?

     

    What's the similarity between a sock with a hole, and an IET?

     

     

     

     

     

    The owners both said "darn it!"

     

    Why would an IET make a good comedian?

     

     

     

     

    They crack themselves up.

     

    What's the difference between a breakfast cereal and an IET?

     

     

     

     

     

    One goes "Snap Crackle Pop" and the other is a breakfast cereal.

     

    Thank you very much, I'm, here all night - and so are the welders.

    Well it seems I got that completely wrong!

    I thought there were 20 per page but there are 25, so actually when we get to the end of the page that will be 62,500 - which will be all the more amazing.

    So for the time being I'll just say that was very late to mention the achievement of 50k!

    Apologies!

    Tony

    :sorry:
