My fingers hurt from threading several hundred chairs on several meters of rail!

Just seen the price for non-members to get into Scaleforum. Nearly fell off my chair!!

On my way to the 2015 RMWEB Tour of Didcot Railway Centre. See you there!

has already seen the first Bachmann 64xx split into parts on eBay. That didn't take long.

A400 down. Pioneers pay the price. RIP fellow aviators

I am really fed up with all the council's making every road bloody 20 MPH it's the country gone bonkets

Just off to Nailsea Show with ZOB. Been looking forward to it greatly. It looks like there will be some good stuff on show.

Trying to decide what to build next, A30 autocoach detailing or build a cotsworld 54xx

Really hating adding door hinges to etched coaches, why can't the holes be pre etched......

Cambrian kits......

might have managed to secure an unbuilt Mitchell "Manor" kit from the man himself. Such a pity the artwork for it was lost :-(

How many 45xx does one actually need, is 9 too many...

Last nights method to try and get baby to sleep, a sound 37 on tick over....

Why is everyone asking if I'm going to buy a Dukedog when I model South Devon.Now I've seen one in the classifieds on here.

My wife and I had our first baby last night, Evie Rose Elizabeth. Not to buy her first trainset.....

Got half way to Devon and thought "did I leave the solder iron switched on" and to make it worse the stand cracked near the base and is only glued together. Fairly sure it must be off, but going to worry all weekend now...
