  1. Stop in the name of love - Supremes
  2. I did add a laughing emoji, but judging by your reply I should have added 'And the ability to be condescending' 🙄
  3. From the BBC https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cr54gv99dz1o As if politicians will know what they're looking at.
  4. While others have an inability to use a keyboard 😂
  5. It is when your customers are putting it up in advance.
  6. A hard to treat rash? I'll get me coat...
  7. Sweet dreams (are made of this) -Eurythmics
  8. I'm not 100% sure what Mike is going to upload as each file takes some time to do. You could split the spring and axle box from the solebar on one of the STL's.
  9. I build houses and have seen many people move themselves, the stress free ones are those that use a professional company to move. Some think the cost is too much but hiring vans and finding people to help on the day can be very hard and actually cost more in the long run. My own experience of moving myself once, was half a dozen people promising to help on the day, they all turned up but after 3pm when I was already in the new house! luckily enough I had a couple of really good reliable friends who turned up early and got stuck in, I vowed that I would never do it again and have since used a removals company. The last move was 300 miles and was £2000 well spent. Of course if your daughter and husband are willing to do it for you, then I'd take up their generous offer and go somewhere for the day while it happens....😄
  10. All the young Dudes - Bowie/Mott the Hoople
  11. A GE 2-2-2 was used on the line and became the contractors locomotive for the Bedford and Cambridge. I'll dig out some info and post it this evening when I get back from work.
  12. You're Dave Gilmour and I claim my £10
  13. Can we move away from the politics of pensions and back onto the engineering/project.
  14. Coaching stock was hired from the GNR, probably 2 4 wheelers at most, the S&P didn't own any wagons ( that I know of) as they were transferred on/off the GN at Sandy. The GN was happy to accomodate the S&P as it gained a lot of extra traffic from the Potton area, so much so that it just about paid its build cost back in the couple of years it was running. A 4mm Shannon A 7mm Shannon Anda GE 2-2-2 I haven't done the 4 wheel stock yet but it is on the 'to do' list.
  15. It's a Stirling tender (or 2 Stirling combined) But it's become like the vacuum cleaner, we have a Dyson but the other half says "can you fetch the Hoover" so sadly calling it a Sturrock for so long has perpetuated the myth. What irks me is the NRM not correcting themselves, if anyone should tell the correct story it should be the NRM.
