    Pondering whether it would be easier for railway modellers admit to being gay than it would be to admit you read MRJ?

      How many of us actually admit to being railway modellers?

      I couldn't care less if you're gay, a MRJ reader, or a gay MRJ reader. 'Tay none of my business what makes you happiest!

      If you ignore them, there's a lot of modelling going on! Someone put the toys back though....we need something to play with!

      Details man. Otherwise how can we then try and trump it with our own tales of woe? (Hope its not affecting the music or modelling though)

      Its an accumulation of festival going with other known individuals of the MMRS / RM Web, lets just say we tied one on and Im now paying the price. And yes, feeling so rough cant do band nor do any modelling.

    Brilliant day out at Land Rover Experience between Skipton and Settle, thoroughly enjoyed playing in their Freelander. Meanwhile mine stayed in the car park, clean.

      X-Trail for me, a brill do-anything/go-anywhere common-carrier. A pal just bought a Land Rover and he's scared of getting it dirty...

      Which site? I've heard good things about the Land Rover courses. If you've not been properly off road before you'll be impressed at what they can do.

      "Ale" & "Bright" are OK, but not keen on the bitter. Much prefer Branscombe's "Branoc".

  12. Andy C

      As for me, not a complete motor but a new chassis for my 66 series 2A is coming tomorrow. Then the real work starts, if only I had the time....

    Bit of a sad day, off to say our farewells to Sid Stubbs shortly. The last of his generation and doubtful there will be as good a scratchbuilder ever again.

      Yes yet another great British tradition falling victim to the 'elf and safety brigade. I'm sure we will be last band on as usual at Greenfield, cmon Boarshurst!

    For those who contributed to the car buying saga, thank you all for your useful (ish) contributions, but I am now a fully paid up member of the Fellowship of the Green Oval!

      Great news for Jess about the ramp; it`s quite a hop up and down from any Landy.

      I'm still trying to work out how you get a car to fit in a tuba. Presumably it goes in from the wide end, not the mouthpiece end...

      I've been very impressed by the layout swallowing capacity of a Focus estate.
