Big Berth(a) ?

That will be it's name from this day on though technically it should be Big Berth AB....

Looks good

Yaay -  Make sure they get your good side

I have a good side?

Sorry, the photofloods are all bu@@ered, and the films out of date too.....

I pray he does - otherwise the consequences for a certain country who unleashed this virus on the world, could be nuclear...

I'm fine darling

@Boris, glad to see that reports of your death have been greatly exaggerated.

Love the movement of an HW machine!

Is it a solenoid or slow action motor?

Nice neat job that - but I would have expected nothing less.

Where was that mate?

So bad that its impossible to view the trailer on youtube without logging in. (Dear youtube, I have a need for adult content...)

That one of those executive jet thingies?

;-)

I've got a mint unopened one going spare ....

Points mean prizes..

Testing points should always be well labelled.

Now Mr Point - can you tell us about your relationship with Miss C Lamplock

Lucky they haven't joined space junk.

1st or 2nd radius?

Orange root vegetable best fed to sheep.

A combine harvester driver?

An illiterate (or American) mangelwurzel

How long is a piece of wire ?

How about about 15 years? In fact I think I may have some that have been waiting much longer than that!

About 90 minutes apparently.

Must have been quite a sight, I expect.

Sounds very nice.

What a small train, don't they run big trains over on your side?

But has it got the 3 L type containers....

These wagons are worth more if complete...

Tri-ang Railways 3 Container Wagon. R.340...

I'd say it had a dirty great steel plate covering the top instead of the container mountings. It's being used as an adapter for dragging EMU's about. I wonder if any of the containers survive anywhere?

I think there may be some real L type containers somewhere....I am pretty sure of that, but cannot remember where....Nene Valley? I think they have some Conflats?

Ooh, whereabouts?

Doncaster - Doncaster via KX x2 and Royston..

Ta.

Good luck with that...I still have the scars - and almost had to go to A and E - after trying to bath one of ours...

Got a hose?

Full Kevlar PPE required...

Excellent - I bet he has some stories to tell. WD40 ?

Yup I'm enjoying every moment. Left the railway the year i was born ..1966

Wow. Did he spring back into it just like yesterday?

Simulating ?

Clever things, model railways.

12 inch to the foot scale signalling simulator made from a converted telephone exchange... One tiny little wire missing causing chaos.

You could've agreed to a concrete elephant.

Or a concrete lamppost. The Master won't like it...

Owwwww, very swish. I'm not going to help you lift that post! Mind you I could find a home for it..... ;-)

Is that all?

A bit more than a dusting up here in the NW corner of Herts!!

Ok yes i changed my mind once i got outside to scrape the van. I also failed to get up Sharpenhoe Clappers on my way to the new goods loop at Sundon.

Softie! I managed 11 minutes earlier!

Most of what needs doing is in the big signalbox so i can wait until later when the stove is going. That'll help the motivation.

It's easier taking frames out of boxes !

Wow !!! doing the timing belts On some Vee engines tests your sanity ... but4 young un's ? I hope you had a great day with them all though

rather do a 12 hour ###### at work?

Do you really need to interlock your porch door with your front door?

Do you have a thread (etc) anywhere showing your signalling work and bits?

There are odd bits of what's going on here..

There's a bit more in 'Seasonal Scale change' on here. I've not posted anything to do with the latest ground frame project yet as i'm not totally impressed with progress. Monday should see all the parts in one place for the first time. Hopefully we will get cracking then.

A rather deep philosophical statement, in many ways!

I won't be able to sleep now!

I'm making key token machines out of a pile of bits. All made by Tyer and Co London, not London and Carlisle so should be about the same age..

cold shower ?

I know how you feel LNERGE, I had a lovely 04:15 start this morning, then back home, few hours sleep then im awake again. And back to the same for tomorrow. Coupled with this heat, it's like 2 days in one!

My night amounted to saw the end off a bit of point rodding, punch two holes, bolt it all back together and hand to my colleague to test. Simples. Except now i have the get up and go of a sloth.

When my son was just over two years old his Mum went away for a week on a field trip. After four days he said "where's Mummy?"

That seems pretty much to be the case here.

Does Tyer know about this ? was it filmed for certain "Ahem" adult area's of the web....

No filming but i had to take ten new tablets to make them work..
