      Floyd and Jess will eventually do the same, they do get a bit over enthusiastic when we have visitors though!

  11. Off shortly to play the Royton Rememberance day parade, 3 hymms, "Nimrod" and the march "British Legion". Then ou Remebrance Day concert this evening. Always a reflective day that brings back memories of my dad who served in North Africa and Italy.

  14. I dont like Mondays, especially when Ive miss set the alrm and got up a half hour early!

    1. davefrk

      davefrk

      That could be 30 mins of modelling time then....

    2. davefrk

      davefrk

      What is it about the Company that both you and my SWMBO work for, she doesn't like Mondays either. But then she doesn't like Tuesdays or Wednesdays and the rest of the week is pretty poor aswell.

    3. Andy C

      Andy C

      Now as it happens Dave I'm having a particularly fruitful day so its a good Monday! Still a pain missing that half hours kip though, may just fall asleep on the computer screens this afternoon.

  15. WMD to most people means a Weapon of Mass destruction. In this house its a Wet Muddy Dog. No difference really I suppose.

      'Moderation is as Moderation does', as Kenneth Brannagh might say... ;-)

  17. A Duchess has been obtained at last. Looking forward to this EM conversion.

    1. davefrk

      davefrk

      Surely you'll need to convert it to P4 for the new layout Andy, I'll see if I can find a photo of one at North Ballahulish.... Eh, nop...

    2. Andy C

      Andy C

      The problem would be the axle weight load limit on the Bridge Dave. So to EM it goes for an occaisional thrash round New Hey and on Glaisden running the "special"

    3. davefrk

      davefrk

      Okay, and I might let you gently trundle it round Wharfeside in 2014, if it's finished then. The layout not the loco....

  18. New Hey set up at the Holmfirth show, looking forward to playing trains tomorrow.

    1. coachmann

      dagrizz

      Ah, so the 'pint' of JRC might explain your penultimate post in the 'exhibitions' section.
