  1. Any good places to get to by train on a day out that's not too expensive?

      Look out for local day ranger/rover tickets - they can sometimes be cheaper than a return ticket. http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/times_fares/rangers_and_rovers.aspx

  2. That's three defeats in a row now, time for Jos Lulukay to leave his position as Sheffield Wednesday manager! #LulukayOut

  3. Doing my planning to visit The Severn Valley Railway's Autumn Steam Gala this coming weekend & doing the overnight trains as well!

      A Bakewell tart is a lady of the night from Bakewell. The dessert is a Bakewell pudding.

      Yes I am, my team lost the local derby game to our rivals yesterday!

      You may not be annoyed as I was when Liverpool failed to overcome Burnley. 35 attempts on their goal. 35. One measly goal to show for it.

  7. I'm properly loving the new updated version of Train Sim - the graphics and gameplay are sooooooo much better!

  8. The Songs of Distant Earth - A truly epic sci-fi soundtrack!

  9. Payday tomorrow and there maybe the purchase of some items from the model shop on my way into town...

  10. A frustrating evening for being a Sheffield Wednesday fan...

  11. I had a running session on my N gauge layout earlier today and how can a new class 47 (Scotrail) run worse than a second hand HST set, which I bought years ago?

  12. At long last Sheff Wednesday got a very big slice of luck from the referee today, scoring a last minute penalty that won a tense local derby game that we did'nt play well in!

  13. I have a fat lip - just been to the dentist

  14. Looks like I'm getting the hang of uploading the pictures onto my new layout topic page - I just do it via my iPad Easypeasy!

  17. That Wednesday game that I saw last night was a rollercoaster of a football match for the emotions!

      And a fortune teller considering that Wednesday has not long since arrived with us.

  18. Finally bought a Farish 'Desiro' EMU - a new train for my redesigned layout!

  19. I've just finished driving a green liveried Class 37 on a EMU replacement all stations stopping service between King's Cross and Stevenage...

  21. With no work for the next 3 days and home alone, I can stay up for as long as I wish tonight! #allnighter

      I went to bed eventually around half 4 after the Olympic Athletics had finished and tiredness had set in!

  22. Called in to WH Smith in town this afternoon on my way home from work to find a Model Rail publication on the shelf called 'Great British Model Railways'. I had a quick flick through only to find that my club's large layout 'Handford Green' happened to be inside - take a look at the article and photos on page 100!

  23. Another hot day at work

  24. I like the look of the limited edition N Gauge Blue Pullman train from the review in the Railway Modeller, tempted - but expensive!

      But I may be able to afford it now!

  25. An Englishman, An Irishman, and a Scotsman all walk into a bar together................. to watch Wales! Good luck to them in tomorrow's Semi-Final!
