in 15 years of working in and around railways I have finally met one person who actually deserves the name "anorak".
-
really really wants to catch up with the little ###### who emptied his bank account last night!
-
has just finished reinstalling everything on his PC after a teenage houseguest decided to look at/download some naughty things and filled it with a veritable menagery of spyware etc!
-
wishes his wife would stop referring to model railways as toy trains!
-
she doesnt know the first rule then http://xkcd.com/878/

is finding the weather somewhat confusing.

is pretty sure blood shouldn't be coming out of his rear.
-
found Tigger with his head down the toilet looking for Pooh.
-
is taking his beautful and well dressed wife to the Goth weekend. I reckon it's punishment for buying model railway stuff without the permission of the Domestic Power.
-
is going into Whitby specifically to photograph the two peds.
-
thinks everybody wants to know about his personal wind problem.
-
is idly wondering why his wife is using the lamp bracket that fell from the piped only wagon as a door wedge. Now you can't tell me that THIS needs to be in UK Prototype Questions...

woke up with a pair of dirty underpants on his head this morning following a night of debauchery.

wonders why a bad archer shoots but can't hit, but a constipated owl hoots but can't (fly).

Your scrap yard looked like the Pikies had been in and unloaded their ill gotten gains!!!! -
is attempting to buy tobacco from a tobogganist.

Thanks Brian, nice job of your GUV as well, I was erring on the side of using the HMRS ones as they are only a few pounds more but you get lots more to a sheet, most of which I can use. Water slide HMRS ones though, I'm not a big fan of Methfix.

Many of them were indeed blue, but for every photograph I can find of a blue solebar I can also find a black one! I'm erring towards painting it blue, I mean it's only a 10 minute job with a paintbrush after all! I really am in the early stages of painting and the solebar would have ended up black from spraying the underframe anyway. Besides, nearly every other vehicle on a model railway has a black solebar, so painting it blue is just that little bit different. Do you mind me asking which transfers you used? I've looked at the Fox ones and am erring towards HMRS at the moment, with elements from other sheets I have as well to add the bits missing off both sheets.

But, as has been pointed out before, they were actually differing shades of grotty brown, so it might be blue grot or red grot, it's often hard to tell which! MIght do GUV number 2 in Maroon in the future, but I still find the blue era to be truly fascinating, and it's what I grew up with!

Rob's 7mm Rolling Stock Workbench
Boris replied to Rob Pulham's topic in Kitbuilding & Scratchbuilding
I've seen that kit a couple of times and have been wondering how I could make it fit onto a blue era layout... That looks very nice indeed, you'll have needed those sprung W irons with this being a 6 wheeler, sometimes the centre wheelset seem to develop a mind of their own. I've got a Port Wynnstay 6 wheel NB goods van and I had to do some serious tinkering to get the middle wheels to want to stay on the rails around pointwork, it was worth it though. -
You won't be able to see the blue under the filth I intend to apply, I'm leaving off the grafitti though! Thanks for the comments guys, hopefully a little more progress will be forthcoming. While I remember, build time is now at 221 hours - and I've enjoyed every minute of it.

can't believe that the leccy board dug a hole at MIDNIGHT and have done nothing with it!!!!
