      ....with filets mignon in sauce Bearnaise?

    losing one mass sequencer was bad enough but to lose the second was just stupid! lets hope the third one gets on the layout before it disappears!

      To lose one may be regarded as a misfortune, to lose two looks like carelessness...

      Best not to spill it all over the model, things progress much better that way.

  14. shanks522

    Few hundred yards of wire, plenty of solder and bad language, the layout electrics are almost done!

      I read that as 'a few yards of wine'.

       

      A bit continental...

    3. shanks522

      shanks522

      I think a few yards of wine would have been a better option!

    4. Huw Griffiths

      Huw Griffiths

      … or a few yards of ale.

      I've got a large layout on the go, this is small enough just to run some trains in the short term.
