  1. Apparently I'm an O gauge modeller now. Thanks temptation Rails of Sheffield!

      I think I know exactly what you mean.  The next question will be "How many Vanwides do I actually need...." 🤔

       

  2. Dw I eisiau Hunslet chwarel os gweloch yn dda.

      Metr0Land

      Acc to google translate that's "I want Hunslet quarry if you see well"

      Debated whether to respond in English or Welsh: I'm learning it very slowly and I don't think that is what it says but I can see why you got that translation. I'll wait until a Welsh speaker confirms I'm wrong before admitting defeat.

  3. Good viewing for Ffesti lovers;

     

  4. Two too many N2's?IMG_20240301_184943852_HDR3.jpg.36ee516e85dc867a34b9b74a6f266645.jpg

     

    And that's just the ones that are together. 50% runners though, others tbc.

      Nice!  I've a couple, but not that many!

       

      3-rail I expect...

       

  5. Liam likes trains then...

     

  6. After a bit of a bleak week news wise it was reviving to visit  a show today. Many different types of people discussing knowledgeably, warmly, and harmoniously.

      Which show? Glad to hear it was a good day. Weston for me tomorrow...

      Bognor. Really busy this morning but still enjoyed it.

  7. Yes it's that time of year again where we must listen to Slade;

      Don't tell us (as if any of us hadn't had it forced down our throats, with the constant adverts, shop displays etc):

       

      "IT'S CHRISTMAS!!!"

       

      Ho! Ho!! Ho!!!

       

       

      (Well, I guess some people expect me to at least pretend to sound cheerful. I normally would be - but it's far from easy right now - for various family reasons.)

      All in all I've been lucky this year, I've not been in any shops that force music into the "experience" and I haven't listened to any music sources that playlist the Top 40....

       

      Even better, I mute the sound on tv ad breaks!

       

      I've not even played my vinyl copy of Now Thats What I Call Music: The Christmas Album, which despite being nearly 40 years old seems pretty contemporary in places...

       

      Bah. Humbug!!!  And a happy New Year!

       

  8. Remembrance Sunday sends me to the round-to-it pile.

    One day I'll get this finished.

     

    Lest we forget.

  9. Weathering while playing this. Well worth a watch;

     

  10. Attention modellers: uninterrupted Saturday modelling time Strictly Come Dancing is back tonight.

  11. Goodwood Revival weekend comes around again so soon. Excellent, if too hot, day 1. Even a little bit of steam there at the end.

  13. O, the models I could have built in the time spent waiting for management to turn up late to their own meetings...

  14. Tolkien exhibition for other half's birthday... You could get a really good layout in here.

    1. Corbs

      Corbs

      'Hobbiton End' by bridgiesimon is exactly that! :D

  15. Just another flippin' Tuesday.

      Yep it's been crepe all day

  16. Questioning whether the designer of really useful boxes should be in some kind of secure unit. How can nothing from the catalogue tessellate!

      "Questioning whether the designer of really useful boxes should be in some kind of secure unit."

       

      Like a really useful box?

      It's a shame I can't also pick funny at the same time.

       

      I gave up finding something that would fit in the end. Someone was doing a bundle on a size I already have so I got more of them.

  17. 3rd, (or is it 4th) consecutive morning walking up with Boney M 'Daddy Cool' in my head...

    1. ews60002

      ews60002

      Boney M quite cool, It could be worse it could be the birdy song on repeat.

    2. Hroth

      Hroth

      You could try driving it out with the Darts "Daddy Cool"

       

       

      A completely different song!

    3. woodenhead

      woodenhead

      Thanks!

       

      Now it is my head too.

       

      Better than 'do they know it's Christmas' which has been there for the previous 4 days.

  18. Third run through the useful box and I've finally found the packet of instanters I knew I bought ages ago!

  19. This week's Strictly come uninterrupted train time has been replaced by unscheduled freezer defrosting. Why did I have to open my mouth and mention thermal mass when commenting on what was happening in the kitchen earlier...

    1. woodenhead

      woodenhead

      Defrosting a freezer, is that still a thing?

      When something wedges in the seal and you don't notice for a day it is...

      The "something" probably turning out to be ice - which has built up over a number of months - and has no intention of getting removed / broken up, no matter what you do in an effort to "persuade" it otherwise.

  20. Success!

    Just need to fix the couplings and glue the body back together now.

    1. Free At Last

      Free At Last

      Nothing succeeds like a toothless budgie.

  21. Recovering from the virus and last night/today is first time I've managed to concentrate for more than 30mins. Celebratory assembly of items from the scrap box
