A Jack Dee joke

I was driving along a motorway in a bus lane and was pulled over by the police. An officer walked up and asked me 'Are you a bus sir?'. I replied 'You're new to traffic aren't you.'

Today I saw a sign outside Haworth station that was pointing to a lane called 'Butt Lane'.

I was at Grosmont today with my parents and suddenly remembered about the webcam so I took a screenshot on my phone.

Think Blue Circle radar was the F2.

Lord Dowding aka Braunton is at Bishops Lydeard at the moment.

The post also refers to locos as "it".

 

.

And 'trains'!

Is that the Blue Circle radar system made famous by the F3s. 

They look OK from an angle like this but only because the position of the cylinders isn't clear

R3095 Commonwealth of Australia Ltd edition (75th anniversary of The Coronation)

R3252 Dominion of Canada Ltd edition (Great Goodbye)

But this is no way near as many as I'd like to have!

I like that photo because it doesn't show just how ungainly 60523 is!

Hi, Jamie, you copy away, it's a good way to expand your skill base, I try to keep it simple (bit like me) as I find the more complicated the longer it takes, and often doesn't make a lot of difference to the finished model.

 

One thing you will have to learn is 'car body filler' it hides a multitude of sins.........

Hi Manna

Thanks for that tip. I'll try and remember to get some for when I next attempt a loco as I'm still trying to get the hang of GN cabs and tender flairs!

Hi Manna

Last year I was inspired by this thread to have a go at building locos out of plastic and various other bits for myself. I've shamelessly copied your J3 but mine has a modern Hornby chassis. That was done last year and this year I decidied to tackle an O1 but unlike yours I used some Heljan bits to make the tender chassis and smokebox. I hope you don't mind me copying you and posting some photos on here.

Regards

Jamie
