....he usually takes his brother, Pistas, with him - I just put up with Tiny - he's my newt! - where's me coat!

. Mick(NB), amazing how posts on here bring back memories - we both ate Ostrich in the 'Elephant Hills Hotel' above the Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe. The whole leg was part of the variety of meats on the carvery table most nights we were there, and like you, we thought it tasted very like exceptionally tender beef! Kind regards, Jock. FWIW - Lidl frequently do Reindeer, Moose, Ostrich, Kangaroo and Buffalo, in their Freezer Cabinets - all most enjoyable to this Carnivore!

Daniel - see http://model-railroad-hobbyist.com/node/20149 http://model-railroad-hobbyist.com/node/18207 http://model-railroad-hobbyist.com/magazine/mrh-2013-05-may/oep_wood-staining-fixture http://model-railroad-hobbyist.com/node/21320 http://model-railroad-hobbyist.com/node/7325

Yes - and they will probably be in Lidl shortly - which is where I got mine - see also ebay

The trouble is that they are a bit big to sell on ebay and get your money back - " only used once"

It doesn't stop you buying a bring-home-case out there though - speaking as someone who knows somebody who operates on that principle!

....and frequently did!

Ah, I shall have to hunt them up on the internet - haven't seen them before. Thanks mate!

Sorry Ray - Interested to see the interiors, but I meant the window frames Are they etchings? Scribed?

What did you use for the frames?

Looking forward to this - these will be very useful. I'm sure many modellers will be grateful if you put the reference sheets on here to be printed out - I certainly will.

Under the age of 40? You won't understand. My mum used to cut chicken, chop eggs and spread butter on bread on the same cutting board with the same knife and no bleach, but we didn't seem to get food poisoning..mm Our school sandwiches were wrapped in wax paper in a brown paper bag, not in ice pack coolers, but I can't remember getting e-coli Almost all of us would have rather gone swimming in the lake or at the beach instead of a pristine pool (talk about boring), no beach closures then. We all took PE ...... and risked permanent injury with a pair of Dunlop plimsoles instead of having cross-training athletic shoes with air cushion soles and built in light reflectors that cost as much as a small car. I can't recall any injuries but they must have happened because they tell us how much safer we are now. We got the cane for doing something wrong at school, they used to call it discipline yet we all grew up to accept the rules and to honour & respect those older than us. When it snowed and transport was disrupted we all walked to school so did the teachers. We had 30++ kids in our class and we all learned to read and write, do maths and spell almost all the words needed to write a grammatically correct letter......., FUNNY THAT!! We all said prayers in school and sang the national anthem, and staying in detention after school caught all sorts of negative attention. We also learnt our times tables by reciting them every day. I thought that I was supposed to accomplish something before I was allowed to be proud of myself. I just can't recall how bored we were without computers, Play Station, Nintendo, X-box or 270 digital TV cable stations. We weren't!! Oh yeah ... and where was the antibiotics and sterilisation kit when I got that bee sting? I could have been killed! We played “King of the Hill” on piles of gravel left on vacant building sites and when we got hurt, Mum pulled out the 2/6p bottle of iodine and then we got our backsides spanked. Now it's a trip to A&E (if it's not been closed) followed by a 10 day dose of antibiotics and then Mum calls the lawyer to sue the contractor for leaving a horribly vicious pile of gravel where it was such a threat. To top it off, not a single person I knew had ever been told that they were from a dysfunctional family. How could we possibly have known that? We never needed to get into group therapy and/or anger management classes. We were obviously so duped by so many societal ills that we didn't even notice that the entire country wasn't taking Prozac! How did we ever survive? LOVE TO ALL OF US WHO SHARED THIS ERA. AND TO ALL WHO DIDN'T, SORRY FOR WHAT YOU MISSED. I WOULDN'T TRADE IT FOR ANYTHING! Pass this to someone and remember that life's most simple pleasures are very often the best. AAAAh, those were the days my friend, yes those WERE the days.

Somehow I was reminded of this! Ooops!!

Gary - for handling large/long, wrapped lumber loads that forkie is going to be a bit small - you would be better off with something with a bit of "grunt", like this eBay item number: 121512095928 - especially for anywhere selling things like pre-built roof trusses or similar. Those are fine for handling small pre-wrapped pallets like building blocks/bricks etc, and stuff transported in box-cars. There is/was also a big tired, ex-military one available through KIBRI that could be assembled with a Digger bucket, or forks - Edit - it is a Kaelble Wheel Loader w/Bucket & Forklift - KIBRI #18089

If you want to print your own wrappers I can give you a link to some on Model Railroad Hobbyist http://model-railroad-hobbyist.com/node/23327 You won't need to be a subscriber (free) to download the PDFs. You will need to join to get the next lot - look in backnumbers for July 2011 issue and go to Magazine across the top -> subscriber bonus issues -> page3 -> and I think the excel file is the last one - this will give you flatcar and bulkhead flat loads - wrap a suitable sized block of wood with a print, as though you are wrapping a parcel with folded-in triangular ends. - I covered my prints with clear sellotape first to make them look like plastic wrappers.BTW - if you want strapping, look in Ebay.co.uk for NAILTAPE ( the stuff the ladies use for those expensive nail decoration jobs). You want a couple of rolls of the narrowest you can get in black - it comes from HongKong and is cheap as chips! If you can't wait, you can pay a bit more and get it from here eBay item number:390528210717

...and for those with a small lottery win - there is one on Ebay.com right now eBay item number: 201402635720

Cape Wrath is derived from Old Norse hvarf ("turning point"). In this context "Wrath" is pronounced /ˈræθ/ (to rhyme with "path"),[1] in contrast to the ordinary English word "wrath", usually pronounced /ˈrɒθ/ in British English (to rhyme with "Goth"). Vikings are believed to have used the cape as a navigation point where they would turn their ships

DIFFERENT WAYS OF LOOKING AT THINGS (Or the uncertainty of the English language) Two guys were discussing popular family trends on sex, marriage, and family values.

'And every now and then I'll try to send her a few bucks myself.' --------------------------------------------------------- A doctor examining a woman who had been rushed to the Emergency Room, took the husband aside, and said, 'I don't like the looks of your wife at all.' 'Me neither doc,' said the husband. 'But she's a great cook and really good with the kids.' ----------------------------------------------------------- An old man goes to the Wizard to ask him if he can remove a curse he has been living with for the last 40 years. The Wizard says, 'Maybe, but you will have to tell me the exact words that were used to put the curse on you.' The old man says without hesitation, 'I now pronounce you man and wife.' ---------------------------------------------------------- Two Reasons Why It's So Hard To Solve A Redneck Murder: 1.

'Oops!' ------------------------------------------------------------ While shopping for vacation clothes, my husband and I passed a display of bathing suits. It had been at least ten years and twenty pounds since I had even considered buying a bathing suit, so sought my husband's advice. 'What do you think?' I asked. 'Should I get a bikini or an all-in-one?' 'Better get a bikini,' he replied. 'You'd never get it all in one.' He's still in intensive care. .......................................................................... The graveside service just barely finished, when there was a massive clap of thunder, followed by a tremendous bolt of lightning, accompanied by even more thunder rumbling in the distance. The little old man looked at the pastor and calmly said, 'Well, she's there.'

Would it work as a wood-chip car with its extended sides?
