      Went on a fruitless search for part 1 on Weds, only to find one in my local newsagent yesterday! Absolutely no intention of buying parts 2+ :-)

      Are you 'coming out' admitting you're a Mod Dave? (I guess this may be my last ever post!)

      Dave47549

      Nah i'm not a Mod (I've never seen the attraction of Lambrettas!)

  5. Aaagh, finally managed to source 10.5mm wheelsets online. Would have been easier to have gone hang gliding on a washing machine!

      Good luck. I hope it works, so you can consign those cancer sticks to the dustbin of history.

       

      I'm not a smoker, but I knew some people who were - who were unable to stop before it was too late.

       

      What they went through was nasty - towards the end, it was slow, painful, torture - I could see the agony in their every breath. I don't want anyone else to go there.

       

      I'm sure quitting will be tough - but it's worth the effort. I wish you every success.

      PHEW Dave !! I had a slight panic then I thought Stoptober was about stopping drinking for the month, I have a couple of parties and a wedding to go to, panic over.

      I keep mixing up Stoptober with Go Sober For October.

       

      Good luck to anyone taking part in either.

      Show me something that isn't! I was just struck by the irony though - 7 hours work spread over 3 days carried out by a card holding ham-fister, involving cutters, files, slitting discs, sharp metal edges, not to mention corrosive flux & a very hot iron being waved about, yet the only 'injury' sustained occurred during a 5 minute fag break!

      Nice. Try ARARARARARARARARARARARA in translate sounds even more 66 like. And weirdly thinks your writing in Hindi. Or Polish.

      Langley Park is on the way to Consett - aka Connie Bongo - from Durham :)

    4. Dave47549

      Dave47549

      Ah right, thanks for that (I'm an ignorant midlander!). No, the 'Langley Park' reference is from a kids book/film I read/saw as a kid & it ties in with Victoria Park - the Futers inspiration.

      Chris, yes - it's based on a highly complex algorithm. Well, actually it's solely dependant on what colour pen is in my pocket at the time.

      A huge shame! I met him a few times and his wealth allowed him to be a great philanthropist - as well as keeping our lost cause alive.

      I like class 67s.....and those 57s that might still be used on the WCML.

      steve22

      Watching Joe 90 as a younger man I always preferred the arrangement played at the end. Still do. Clever to have the two arrangements, each one appropriate to the opening or closing credits. So - which one is in your head; or have I just helped add another?

    3. Dave47549

      Dave47549

      Steve, it was the intro' (preferred due to the slight psych' tinge) but the outro works too. I best not put the two (intro/outro) together or I'll be listening to the Bonzo's all night... ;-)

  18. Hmm, no rail related presents for me. Might drag myself to the NEC on Thursday instead....

      Cheers Jim, 'twas a pleasant sight on the way home from Speedway. Bumped into a very good old friend at New St as well (on his way to Wembley to work a 92 to Lichfield)

  20. 75 minute bus ride today, with nothing more engaging than the back of my fag packet to read. Mood not enhanced when someone gets on & sits at the front with a copy of 'Brunel, the Man who bult the world'. :-(

  21. Just soldered on my first stock rail in 30 years (should say this is only the 2nd bit of pointwork i've attempted). Taking 5 just now before fabricating the 1st of 2 frogs!

      Too late! 1st frog assembled & laid. I have backup also - enough sleeper strip & rail to start again if I mess it up. There's also a stock of Peco points should I give it up as a bad idea!

  22. Loving ITV's 'The Job Lot'. More realistic than any finescale layout!

      I'm hoping they tackle the jobsearch machines / the universal jobmatch website (example, search for jobs local to you jobs & it offers results at both Crawley & Inverness) next, they're the biggest 'comedy' of the lot!

  23. has spent an enjoyable evening replacing cruddy original wheelsets in a Heljan 26 with some decent ones set to EM. Might even build a layout some day!
