      8 years. Time enough to write up his memoirs. Now if he can find a good publicist....

    Watching 'Exposure' on ITV, certainly explains the almost-comical-if-it-weren't-so-serious appalling standards of driving in east Birmingham.....

      A friend of my son said to him here in Gloucester, 'Why should I indicate? It's none of their business where I'm going.'

      <whacks forehead with palm> Unfortunately Steve, there's far too many like him. Trouble is, they're not the worst offenders...

    Finished soldering up my pointwork & managed to only burn myself once - courtesy of a carelessly held cigarette!

      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!

    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!

      Don't rush now...

      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!

    Finally acquired a copy of GWRJ 54 today to satisfy my curiosity re: the Worcester vinegar branch. Stunned to find its proximity to Padmore Street, a place i've visited on many occasion. Surprised so much can still be traced on Google maps, something tells me I may be waylaid for a couple of hours next time I'm in that city!
