  1. I'm not sure if you're moving into the area of copyright and intellectual property. The items aren't yours to copy and produce.
  2. Oki doki, I'm guessing they've made tax provision. My white metal kits are going as ballast weight.
  3. Excellent ! You're on Cambridge road bridge, the footbridge you see is 'Alley Bridge' which was the most popular spotting location for us as kids. The Down main signal the Deltic has passed under is on a post in my back garden.
  4. What about the scenario that you have an accident and depart early so your estate goes to your more elderly parents, you don't cross the IHT threshold but with your's and their estates now combined it does. They then depart within a couple of years after you and the siblings then get hit with a tax bill. A simple will splitting it across the family would do (50/50 parents/siblings). . .or give the lot to the Deltic Preservation Society. . .you know you want to.
  5. I purchased 58 from C&L, it was a couple of years ago under the previous owner but worth checking with the new owner Phil. I emailed several suppliers asking for a quote on the 58 motors and C&L came back with a discounted price if I purchased as one lot. The others emailed offered a small amount off, but no where near the same as C&L.
  6. That'll be the one. He did come from Ashwell so wasn't used to humans
  7. Gas works does rise from KX as it heads North except for a short section when it has to dive under the Regents Canal Basin. I've got a sectional drawing somewhere that shows something like 4 bricks making up the basin bottom and tunnel top.
  8. Was that the 08 driver with a flat cap and wellies* ? He took one off in the staffroom once. . . .I transfered to Royston because of that. . still getting counselling now. His lunch was bread and Guinness, think that would be frowned upon now.
  9. I'll look like my avatar. (I'll try and remember to put a GNRS membership secretary badge on)
  10. You've not met my family. . . .
  11. Exhibiting or observer ? I'll pop along but don't know when, as I'll get some wok done in the morning.
  12. Are you sure that fits in a cake box...... You haven't used a wedding cake box by chance ?. . .actually, thinking about it, you'd have hotel curve and the met/circle booking hall included if you did.
  13. Is that because the machine gets in the way of the steering wheel ?
  14. I'm not, I've got trusts set up and I'm glad they work.
  15. Maybe one makes the coffee ? C'mon you've got to think about this one.....
  16. That sounds a bit suspicious, check their van for pasty crumbs as it sounds like they're trying to mislead you.
  17. Or Like my Father you can have a solicitor draft the will who gets paid to do so, then witnesses the will and also inserts himself as an executor and receives a payment for being one. That took just under 3 years to sort out......
  18. I'd tell the builders, as if that was us, we'd open it out to at least 30mm. . . .. takes a lot to keep the reputation we've got. . .
  19. This is a little off topic but a few days go I found this photo. Not long after the line decended under York Road to join the widened lines there was a spur that linked York Rd with the Westbound, this is the abandoned spur tunnel on the right with the Moorgate line on the left.
  20. Just when you think something's impossible........ Looking forward to this one Mike.
  21. So to paraphrase. You make a statement that you can't back up to prove a point you want to make. I question that statement as my own experience is different By asking for some evidence I'm 'point scoring' You reckon your original claim still holds true, even though you can't prove it and I'm bickering with you for questioning your claim Congratulations, you've win the prize for the best bollox post of the day.
  22. Sheesh I asked a simple question of how you could qualify the statement "The Majority" as my own experience differed. Obviously you can't, but I'm a pedant for asking. Nice one.
  23. And eventually 'Social Media' becomes 'Unsocial media'
