  1. Maturing is realizing you don't need fun to have alcohol.

     

    Happy Friday folks!

  2. I see the druids and would-be druids have been out in force this morning - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-wiltshire-65970567

  3. I think I've been infected by something originating in the East, because I've found another LNER loco that I quite like.

      Now that, Mr Bacon, would be rather unsettling!

  4. What a wild 9 days - unexpectedly winning both 'Modeller of the Year 2022' and with Sandy Shores winning the  'Chairman's Choice' at Basingstoke. I couldn't be happier! My thanks to all who voted for me in the BRMA's, and I hope to continue producing interesting content both for BRM and for personal projects. ❤️ Jamie

  5. I wish that from time to time, someone would produce an RTR steam loco that didn't require me to either send it back or build a replacement chassis or even just change the wheels, to enable it to run on my bullhead track. Consistent wheel profiles between the various RTR manufacturers would also help. It's all enough to make you go shopping for hair shirts again!

  11. Ooh! I haven't had a complaint all afternoon!

  12. I hate flu...

  13. Hi, my name is Dave and I live in Portland, Dorset. I am modelling late GWR era and am most interested in DCC automation. 

  14. Lessons and Carols at Kings. My Christmas can now begin.

  15.  Seasons best to all. Thanks for tolerating my frequent rants.

  16. I have seen it all now, an advert just flashed up on another site advertising workshops for parents to sign up their six to eleven year olds up for to train how to become successful YouTubers...

     

    I despair...

      @john new I accept your point about advertising, marketing etc. Also, the individuals you mention were all talented people, with skill and experience, which should be attributes valued by all. However, YouTube and other applications allows people who I will describe as 'talentless nobodies' to pretend to be something that they are not and it is vexing to see how many 'modern people' are taken in by all that.

      Sorry to be a killjoy, but getting money just for making videos on your phone seems to be so typical of the Age, where experience, ability and a willingness to work hard count for so little.

    I can't help but think about G Bloke

     @bgmanfor it was he who introduced me to them.  I only met him once and we laughed all day long!

     

    cheers mate 👍

     

     

  19. Part of me wants to join in on this thread - 

     - but I've come to it late and it's taking an absolute age to read through from the beginning and I'm still only half-way through!

      Well, I've finally reached the end of that thread (instead of doing some modelling this afternoon) and just when I thought I was ready to post some observations, I find that it's time to make the tea!

  20. A little update for those kind enough to show interest in my efforts.  I'm still working out the best way to construct the girders for the station roof, I'm having a go at another City building.  This one is inspired by a still existing building down from the Bank of England.  If anyone knows where I can get any corinthian capitals for pilasters and columns I would be obliged for a tip.  I have created my own doric capitals from bit of scrap.

    Slightly unkind pictures that show up my hairy modelling but they look ok at normal viewing distance.

  21. Sometimes viewing this forum seems like visiting a Kindergarten...

      And yet sometimes it is like a gathering of august and most earnestly well-informed minds, capable of reasoned, well-tempered and informative debate.
