  1. Whenever life gets you down, Mr Sem , And things seem hard or tough, And people are stupid, obnoxious or daft, And you feel that you've had quite enough - Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving and revolving at 900 miles an hour.

  8. Just 'enjoyed' 1S11 - 40 Minutes down at Worthing. Much fun to be had by all as the train was talked past each signal between Lynminster and Goring-by-Sea. Well done to the RMwebber guard (Mr Upton!) for taking the time to update us all!

      Ouch! Did well to maintain only 40 minutes down after Worthing - it'd been increasing by two minutes on a stop-by-stop basis until that point.

  10. "The Hunslet Saddle Tank was clearly struggling against the 1 in 40 gradient up to Llantisilly No.4 Pit. The cacophony resounded and echoed round the valley as eruption after distinct eruption of thick black smoke and sparks arose from the chimney of the loco, with steam oozing from every imaginable crevice. The machine was filthy and war torn, possibly literally, as were the 25 National Coal Board Internal User wagons that clattered slowly up the hill behind it. This spectacle was not to...

      All I know is that my military knowledge, though it's plucky and adventury, has only been brought down to the beginning of the century, BUT still in matters vegetable, animal and mineral I am the very model of a modern major general!

  25. In case there's anyone I haven't badgered on to about it, I have now recommenced CAD work and am quite contently working on a set of bodyshells and parts to replace the old Dapol Terrier body and find a use for the chassis of terriers that are now going to look incongruous alongside the new model.

    1. WD0-6-0

      WD0-6-0

      There must be loads of small industrial 0-6-0s that could sit on a chassis like that without being too far of scale. Mainline or industrial I'm sure whatever you come up with will look the part

    2. sem34090

      sem34090

      Well, for now I'm replacing the current Dapol/Hornby body with a new one of the correct shape, so that people can use their current terriers alongside the new forthcoming model without it jarring too much.
