    There's a rumour going round that a chap matching my description might just have walked out of a model shop in Leicestershire having purchased a Bachmann 32-953DC ?! :-/

      Ahha... when it's done, milk, no sugar please...

    7 different snow depth estimates in 'centimetres' from 7 different weather forecasts on the tele in the last hour ! Why cant they just be honest and say ''we really hav'nt got a clue'' ?!!

      I was chatting with a colleague earlier today who said he doubts he'll get home this weekend as his wife was already having to clear the 50cm of snow off the cover of their pool... in Vienna. However, apart from the airport, everything else still works... unlike here!

      I've been told that some schools in Dorset have already announced they will be closed tomorrow....before even a flake of snow has fallen!

      Now that is shocking. We are made of sterner stuff here in Derbyshire despite what Mr Gove and his Ofsted lap dogs think!

      No actually, spending my weekend filling a skip full of rubbish from our bathroom rebuild and the loft. Far more profitable!

    Sunday morning spent watching the hour long 37 compilation video thats been posted on the WNXX news page. Hellfire !

  8. Sandhills

    After hours trawling the Internet, I've just found the perfect loco pairing to model next. BR Blue and the 2 class numbers add upto 100 ?! And it's not a pair of 50's !
