      And i know what that feels like.

    Thinks that if you start an indoor layout as a "winter" project it is best to finish the baseboards before....erm, winter. Brrrrr!

  13. AndyB

    Wondering how you could get product insurance on these in the US? http://uk.specials.lifestyle.yahoo.com/christmas/article/features/the-most-dangerous-toys-ever-made.html

      Simplesl. It hurts if you drop it on your foot.

    Wondering if it is too early in the season to wish AndyY & the Mods a very merry Christmas and say a huge "Thank You" for all their hard work throughout 2010.

      Echo the good wishes to everyone whose work keeps us all in contact. And calling this site a community is just about right.

    Train home "terminated", passengers disembarked. Passengers leave station. Train re-embarks some (lingering) passengers and completes journey. Cheers SWT

      That will be two cheap day returns to Gretna Green then... Avoids the 'family politics' that most weddings seem to come laden with these days...

      Nothing cheap about using the Royal Train!

      Hmmm, was up at 03:00 this morning, so punctuation obviously went out of the window around the same time. :)

    Spent the afternoon thinking about baseboards. In the meantime, here's a photo that hopefully will give a taster: http://www.flickr.com/photos/82096028@N00/1500124255
