      They're rather posh in Somerset, you know.

      I prefer solid bombs, none of this plated rubbish...

  2. After waiting weeks for a diagnosis from the NHS for my stiff neck an ex GN mainline signalling inspector has found my problem. I'm not swallowing the viagra pills correctly.

      Why are you taking pills from Africa?

      Confirmed. You are meant to swallow them, they're not a suppository.

      When i looked it was right time at Retford. I didn't realise they could go that far.

      Congratulations! I wish I'd missed lots of Pacers over the years, horrible things.

  7. Another bad day in the office.

  8. Where am i going to get transfers for my carflats?

      If you are doing them in MotorIl livery, then Fox do suitable ones. For the TOPs panels you will need to use Precision Decals TOPS panel templates as a source of custom made ones. Have a look at my Carflats in the photo gallery.

  9. Carflats..

      I've managed to secrete a nice bit of lead sheet in the first one. I think it'll be ok.

      You can get medication for that, I believe.

      Every time i've seen it down here it's been on diesel.

      It definitely sounds like part of the National Rail network - a long expedition, all the way to the next station.

      Assuming it is the NVR, hiring in lots of visiting locos doesn't come cheap and it's got to be recouped somehow.

      From the people who will run the railway when the current team are too old or passed on? The industry will kill itself. Kids need to be encouraged.

  12. The model railway has lain dormant for several months. I cleaned the track and ran some trains with absolutely no problems. I've been putting off using it as it usually takes an hour of faffing about to get it going.

      You cleaned the track? That's what I call faffing about.

      It needed a fighting chance. You could see the muck on the rails..

  13. Another day lost to hospitals. I'm beginning to dislike the places.

      I've had to leave afew people behind in hospitals but i've generally come away with more (my nine plus being a birthing partner twice) This is my first really negative experience but to be fair today was straight in and out. (five pages of the new M&GN book read whilst waiting)

  14. 15 hours in A&E, 7 of them waiting for a bed. A neck injury caused by sleeping in an incorrect position. The cure seems to be 7 hours nodding in a hospital waiting area waiting for said bed.

      Treatable easily I hope

  16. The headmasters attachment now has bells. I expect divorce to be the main subject pretty soon after 14:30 today.

      I would have thought that divorce would be the least of your worries....

      Ah yes he was invited to give me a nudge. Off work with pneumonia and i reckon it stops the brain functioning. Taking me all day to do what i usually do all day.

      ,i've given that up. 9 kids and counting.

  19. Man flu progressed into pneumonia. Job stopped here.

  20. I think i've got away with it. What with Valetines day distractions, the tail end of man flu and around 90 mins of being left in the house by myself the headmasters attachment is clunking away in the hallway every 30 seconds and no one has noticed.

      I think that I have a few ex GPO telephone relays in the loft.. Intended to be modified to act as point actuators on a 1950's layout which never got off the ground! Any use to you ??

      Bronchitis and chest infection keeps moving around and it's driving me crazy.

  23. The mystery signalbox diagram from the other day was Adwick Crossing between Mexborough and Wath.. https://www.flickr.com/photos/32297024@N08/24805962936/

      I looked at a commisioning notice and couldn't see the Mexborough signals - they were on the gap in the scans when I looked again - doh

      I've just looked at google earth. Nothing left whatsoever.

  24. I have this signalbox diagram but i have no idea where it came from.. https://www.flickr.com/photos/32297024@N08/24805962936/

      I think it may be a gate box. The junction itself seems to be contrlled by M prefixed signals. Te tracks to the left may be over simplified.

      It comes from Flickr you daft bugg-r it says so on the top of the page for goodness sake

      Lol.

       

      Fringe box perhaps but couldn't find anything which fitted. Maybe a stagework
