  1. Is thinking it would be wise for all not to poke the lion (Andy Y) with a stick at this time. One is likely to get ones head chewed off. Nice work Andy, now go and lie down....

      Especially not a stick with a horse's head handle....

  2. Funeral today for a very good customer. Rest in peace Alan

  3. I should be checking out of Hotel Treliske next Tuesday after 6 weeks of care by the NHS. Can't wait to get back to my home bed, but will miss the wonderful staff for whom I will be eternally grateful

      Get well soon, Sir :) just being back in familiar surroundings can do wonders that even the NHS can't do.

      My sister was born in that hospital, incidentally.

      District Nurse is booked to see me Wednesday, so looks like I'm going home tomorrow :)

  4. Now has a small stock of Hornby 9F motor mounts to replace rotty ones :)

  6. Fuzz Townshend (Car SOS) has a train set. Tim Shaw does not though, despite his hosting etc on GMRC

      I'm not surprised to hear that a hands-on bloke like Fuzz has a trainset, ot that motor-mouth Tim doesn't...  :jester:

       

      What form does his trainset take?

    2. RedgateModels

      RedgateModels

      Pretty basic according to him. He was at Warley in 2019, but mainly to sniff round the old bus LOL

  7. There are ppl on Facebook talking me into making a neverwazza 2-10-4 tank engine. I do have a spare triang 9f with a shot tender frame ....

      Why not a 2-8-4 tender loco like the Austrian 12 class. Mega for hill climbing.

  8. Today I ar been mostly casting rock faces

      Must be a Deep Purple fan....

       

  9. anyone else noticed the shield on Andy Y's avatar is the same as the notification icon for the NHS CV19 app ........

  10. I know I have a Woodland Scenics rock mould somewhere. Buggered if I can find it.......

  11. furloughed as of Monday

      I missed it! Is it repeated this week?

  13. arrrgh! bought a couple of Minitrix tipper wagons specifically for the tipping action, didn't notice the pins on the edges of the hoppers have been cut off!

  14. Another jolly game of hide and seek with the folding sack truck last night, that's 2 hours of my life I won't get back. It was where I left it of course. I'm convinced the thing can cloak!

  15. whohoo! foamcore, let track laying commence

    1. Corbs

      Corbs

      'Foamcore' would be an apt name for a railway modelling-themed metal band.

  16. Forms completed and in the post, Holiday Inn and table at Marco's booked - Warley here I come, see you all on stand A84 :)

    1. Metr0Land

      Metr0Land

      Not booking with Thos Cook's then?

  17. Parcel arrived from Tim Horn today!

  18. Order placed with Tim Horn :D

  19. Oh the agony! Minerva class 14 or new layout. OK the thought of a new layout makes me smile more than just buying a plastic loco. Must make me a modeller ;)

    1. Mallard60022

      Mallard60022

      7mm layout? If not and it would be 4mm, I have a few Heljan 4mm Diseasels that need a new home :pleasantry:

    2. RedgateModels

      RedgateModels

      No, 4mm standard and 009 mixed gauge colliery micro ...

  20. is contemplating a new layout ......

    1. Hroth

      Hroth

      Its a slippery slope....

       

      • Contemplation
      • Planning the trackwork
      • Thinking about new stock
      • ...
      • Getting expensive

       

      I was contemplating a new layout, it involved a single slip, I got one and panicked. 

      Perhaps I'll use two back to back points instead, much easier to comprehend...

       

      Anyhow, don't let ME put you off, good luck!

      (btw Whats being contemplated?)

       

  21. Watch out @Borisholiday booked in Whitby early August :)

    1. Boris

      Boris

      Hurrah, beer may be required and comparing notes on Scoobys.

      I thought Skylines were the weapon of choice on the NYMR ;)

      Only if you're a bit odd...

  22. Testing a customer's dcc fitted standard 2-6-4 tank engine, buzzing and short circuit on the programming track. Opened it up to then realise it was my own loco - no decoder lol

  23. Tilting at windmills - a new RMweb sport so it seems

  24. Is it just me that finds the term "chip" as grating as "Train Station". In my mind chips are for Friday tea or individual electronic components. Oddly I am OK with the term "chipping" a locomotive though.........

  25. Has now got a small stock of Zimo MX600R decoders. Next step is to confirm location points for Stay Alive fitting :)
