  4. Did you know (Best Michael Cain voice here) Did you know that a hot soldering iron can give your fingers a nasty burn if you grab it by the wrong end. Now ask me how I know this.

      I reckon you found out the same way I found out that hitting your finger instead of the 25mm nail you're holding with a hammer hurts (a lot).

  6. Thanks to Big Jims inspiration I've just bought an app and cable to control my camera from my phone.

  7. Not happy. My car, which I was assured would be repaired by the insurers is suddenly now Not economically repairable. Anyone got a drivers door for a rover 75 in royal blue metallic?

      I had a similar event last year. A door from a scrappy and my usual garage had it fixed for about

  13. is hearing rumours of proposed new freight flows on the North Wales Coast line..bring it on please!!.

  14. Heaven save us all. That giggling prat Vine is back on Radio 2. It was a joy to hear Vanessa Feltz last week (and I'm no particular fan). At least she let all her contributors speak without interrupting and giggling. He has started already in his inane way giggling and making flippant remarks about the impending Danish Ash disease. He seems to think that It's funny.

  15. As well as signals, I now have quite a few random 7mm kits to build. Does RMW need another 7mm thread or shall I just get on with them?

      Always interested in what you're up to-especially concerning model railways!

  16. I think I'm trying to get the tides to turn - I guess very few are interested in my photos, so little point is spending the time and effort to upload them.

    1. flyingsignalman

      Always interested, even if I can't look in as often as I would like!

  17. The missus bought some loose chocs in Thorntons

  18. Witnessed a level crossing jumper (car), photograph and video evidence - do I report them or will I simply be a trouble maker ?

    1. flyingsignalman

      flyingsignalman

      I would have reported it straight away. When you do it in the morning they will log it but may do little else. However, your evidence may convince them to act; the BTP are fairly keen on crossing misuse (around here any way).

      There are days when I would love to be out in the rain rather than in a nice dry signalling centre...............

  24. Noticing a trend to not bother thanking people, it takes several minutes to reply to a query, even if not exactly what was wanted, it takes less than a second to thank the responder.
