      build it in the kitchen then realise it won't fit out of the door. Women are really sympathetic when that happens.....

      As Horsetan says, German history does get interesting, just got to plug away at it!

      Wish I still had my old school notes and textbooks. Could probably give chapter and verse on this period. My history teacher was Terry Morris, author of "European History, 1848-1973"

      It wasn't too bad, only half an inch of snow, no ice and it's melting at quite a pace.

      I do enjoy a good snowfall it's just the ice I don't like.

      Depends how many were built at Stephenson's. Plus some SR 4-6-0s were at heaton in WW2.

      At risk of continuing to be off topic - I shall have an investigation. Cheers Worsdell.

      To be correct one is the S.& D.R. and the other one is the S.& D.J.R. (Co.) mostly shortened to the S.& D.

  14. Does anyone else find that tidying is more like moving the mess from one part of a room to another?

      They do one about reproduction as well, it's called "learning to ######"

      did it need the fire brigade - if not it wasn't as catastrophic as it can be!

       

  17. Is it me or do most layouts have the fiddle yard on the left?

      Should have said layouts with one fiddle yard.

    3. Kris

      Mine is on the right.

    4. nightstar.train

      nightstar.train

      It is probably a sub concious choice of the builder as we read left to right (in the West), so we want to run trains left to right (my fiddle yard is on the right BTW).

  18. Yay I don't have meningitis! And I missed a really dull lecture, not a bad start to the week!

      That's a relief (no, actually a Manchester-London extra train with an 85 and 10 Mk1s is a relief!)

    3. Captain Kernow

      Glad to hear you're OK!

  19. It's funny, but being ill makes me lose my usual tolerant, and easy going approach to communal living. Anyone got any Vodka?

  20. 2 Injuries for Recar in the first 2 weeks of the season, not looking good.

    1. Worsdell forever

      Worsdell forever

      apparently there were rumours straight away that Havvy had broken his back, neck, arm, shoulder... just arm & shoulder. Retirement time?

    2. Dave47549

      Dave47549

      It is the massive downside to the sport :-( wonder how long Adam Roynon will last - like last year, our season rests on his fitness.

    3. Philip52LC

      Philip52LC

      Sadly there have been several riders badly injured already and hope its not an indication of how the season will go. I can see at least two contemplating retirement due to their injuries and wish them all a speedy recovery.

  21. 1 essay down, now for the other essay due on Monday and the exam also on Monday. I might be pushing my luck.

      Redcar rode well, track, and exhausts against them.
