The sign just outside the village of Lunt on Merseyside regularly has to have a small piece of black tape removed from it after the local youth have been up to their tricks.

Well, there are boxes, and then there are BOXES! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Carton-1709-0-O-gauge-MARKLIN-1709-very-nice-Empty-box-/201143378694?hash=item2ed5146306:m:mDX1bgDpo_UXTbNUvoQjBTg

Echoooooooooo........... (6 posts back!)

The seller's name is "Mustspendless" but I hear he is changing it to "Mustchargemore".

Perhaps we could reintroduce the practice of having a man with a red flag walking in front of every car. Think of the benefits - generally lower speeds, fewer collisions, a huge increase in employment, and better health for the flagmen. However, if it became law, there might be a few who would want to hire Usein Bolt or Mo Farrer, just to get an edge over everyone else.

Odin and Thor had argued about which of them was the most virile, and set off to Earth to find a couple of willing maidens. Thor found a nice young Viking girl, who didn't waste time talking, and all night long, time after time, Thor kept on, without stopping, until the girl was so happy and exhausted, she could go no more. The following morning, realising that the girl would be well impressed at making love to a god, he decided it would only be polite to introduce himself, and with a big grin, he said, "Good morning, I'm Thor!" "You're Thor!" she exclaimed, "You think YOU'RE Thor? Lithen mate, I'm tho Thor, I can hardly pith!"

Not railway related, but would anyone seriously want a xxxx shaped pond in their garden?!!! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Large-Pre-Formed-Pond-/291823663052?hash=item43f20bb7cc:g:StIAAOSwZVlXj87q

I find this post unnecessarily titillating.

Are these the ones which come with a complementary figure?JD

This is an exciting and inspirational thread. I am currently trying to build an L&Y Pug 0-4-0 from card and have learned a lot from following your builds. One question - how do you create the bolt heads which are a feature on some of your wagons? JD

I would be interested to know how you did the cobbles - they look superb.

But the same could be said of the many children murdered in Florida this week. Following this logic would mean - sadly - the thread would be suspended every couple of days as new atrocities are committed. The murder of an M.P. / mother is tragic, but it is one more in an increasingly dangerous world, and this happy thread - which is in no way disrespectful - would be in danger of extinction if it were suspended every time an innocent is murdered by others. None of us are unmoved by her death,or the deaths in Orlando, but surely it is not disrespectful to enjoy humour in silly, unconnected jokes.

And inspirational - wish I had the imagination and skills evident here.

At school it was known as "John Wayne toilet paper" - it was rough, tough, and didn't take sh.. off anyone.

On another occasion, Paddy and Sean were again in a boat, and Paddy wanted a smoke, but had forgotten his matches. But no problem, Sean took another cigarette out of the packet and threw it overboard - making the boat a cigarette lighter. Sorry.....

I wonder how many parcels left by Hermes we have just seen on their way to the tip?

It seems Chris Evans is having the same trouble fronting the new "Top Gear".http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/top-gears-chris-evans-allegedly-cant-talk-and-drive-at-the-same-time-a6798871.html Edited to add link

.......you mean the half that talks......

He goes on to say, "THANKS FOR LOOKING PICTURES ARE BETTER THAN WORDS" which in this case is probably true.

I woke up this morning to find that I was totally alone. And worse, I had been painted from head to toe in a dark red paint. It took a while before I realised I had been marooned.

To be fair, you also get the seller himself, well packaged:A VERY NICE MODEL DONE BY ME-MYSELF-I WILL BE PACKED WELL FOR POSTING
