    The answer to the previous profile feed is definitely 'Yes, 2 BIL!'... ;-)

      If period and region could justify, then the answer should not be if, it should only be "how many!"

      Where're the photos of 'BIL' then?

  4. Captain Kernow

    All it takes is 8 hours behind the wheel today and a glass of red wine, and suddenly I don't feel like doing any cobbles tonight - I must be getting soft! ;-)

      No cobbles tonight? You sure you're not getting sett in your ways, CK? ;-)

  5. Captain Kernow

    Do you have an urge to be in Buckfastleigh on Saturday night? How about joining some of us for a curry, then? http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/66058-po...

    Happy New Year everyone! It may be the start of another year, but some things never change, the first bit of 2013 spam has just offered me a temptingly competitive price on a batch of Viagra!..;-)

      Robin - the border guards will be briefed as to who to let through!...;-)

      Appropriate PM sent to you 'over the border', CK. See y'all then!

      Is that your Bosun's whistle? Captain boarding HMS Kernow 'pheeEEEEp'.

    Just finished a quick (non-sprung or compensated) conversion of a couple of Bachmann wagons to P4 - happy to say they run fine!

    1. Phil Copleston

      Phil Copleston

      Sounds a satisfying Xmas quickie, Capt'n. Ummm is this an example of 'splash modelling' done on the job while battling floods at Cowley Bridge Junction? BTW, Xmas greetings from a very wet Cornwall, gurgle, gurgle...

    2. DavidLong

      DavidLong

      This wouldn't be a retort to the 'compensation culture', would it CK ?

    3. Phil Copleston

      Phil Copleston

      Ahhhh, just got the joke: compensation involving three points = conversion plus two wagons. Most cryptic CK :D (I just made that up, he he)

  16. Captain Kernow

    LMAO - someone at work has produced a properly printed 2013 calendar featuring photos of a well-known railway photographer of the Devon area!!

      Long coat in view?

       

  17. Captain Kernow

    Heavy rain right now in Devon and more utterly cr*p weather to come over the next few days. The effect of this at work with the potential for more flooding has knocked any semblance of Christmassy feelings right out of me :-(

      Must admit I thought about you when I looked at the forcast this morning...

      Are we forming square!?

      Not exactly...

      Sounds like Cuthbertson has brought up reinforcements. The blighter.

  19. Captain Kernow

    All these new announcements are all very well, but where is the promised automatic cobbling machine?

      Captain Kernow

      Bill, I mean setts (as per my blogs), but I find the incorrect use of the word 'cobbles' somehow more satisfying... ;-)

    3. Phil Copleston

      Phil Copleston

      In which case CK, you should have correctly referred to it as an 'automatic setting machine'. Then we could have had a lively debate about the benefits or otherwise of runny or set custard. But now the moment has passed... (sigh)

      No need to badger.

    Troll or ars*-holl? Neither, I want it for my armpits...

      ...cue long boring thread about exhibitions and personal hygiene...

      Ha! Hadn't thought of that - which neatly combines two long-running themes... :-O

    Has anyone heard of that S&DJR railtour operated by a preserved SE&CR-liveried 'C' class?

      Good work, Capt'n. A critical network location, which hopefully will now receive the flood defence investment it rightly deserves.

    4. Ramblin Rich

      Ramblin Rich

      Good news! :_) Heard the Crediton service had resumed. Well done to all concerned.

      Been there, done that!...

       

      Have a thought for the poor handsignallers out at Stoke Canon with only a tent for cover!...

      Odd, there was a nice (listed) signal box there, has it been removed...
