  2. Why do so many people say,"Absolutely" when what they really mean is Yes? Imagine "Take your Pick" with Michael Miles and the Absolutely / No interlude - wouldnt' really work would it? (Showing age here.)

      Take your pick would have had an Absolutely/negatory interval

      Doesn't your rolling stock have retention toilets?

      Ballasting takes a long time, I've spent an hour or more on a yard of track, plain track at that - it's not a job to rush.

      Sounds better than just dumping the stuff in the "four foot".

      It seems to come up more often in the Exhibitions section. If you click on it, it takes you directly to the Warley exhibition site.

      Get a life! Have you been looking for 2.5 hours?

  8. I managed to read that as "Yorkshire _urd Carts......"

  9. 7mm ballasting is so much easier than 4mm!!

    1. davefrk

      davefrk

      Not when you use 7mm ballast on 4mm layouts as some people like to do...

    2. Mad McCann

      Mad McCann

      I use 2mm on 4mm layouts. Well, I do if I ever start building one! ;-)

    3. Hroth

      Hroth

      2mm scale ballast is just the right size for 4mm, and even works at 7mm.

       

      It must seem like mountains for 2mm folk!

      If she hadn't been there then we all know what you would have had to do, it would have been the only course of action available to you. Burn the house down. You've got to be sure with those spiders

  13. Went to film broadcast of Hamlet last night. Great production, but spoiled by numbers of Cumberbxxxxxs in the audience who squealed every time he came on. Have they never seen a play before?

      The last few broadcasts of Cabin Pressure were just as bad, for the same reason.

      Good work. I hope you've got lots of insulation planned.

  18. is feeling cream-crackered. Spent yesterday turning 2 8x6 sheds into 1 16x6 shed. Should be able to move out of the loft in the next month or two.

      It'll be worth it! No more crouching in very hot or very cold attics!

  19. managed to run 5 separate DCC trains together before hitting the panic button...!
