    Some say...we've thught of a new way of introducing him. But we haven't, it's the Stig!

      Some say...they're running low on new ideas for his introduction

      Some say they are running out of ideas for a motoring show except to show fast cars and nothing else.

      @DapolDave: I think you misunderstand Top Gear. It is more an entertainment motoring show these days which is why they show the fast cars and challenges instead of cars for the everyday punter.

    Remember, the internet isn't TOPS. F8 doesn't page down. Page Down does page down. I do like TOPS 2000 though. Got CTT release off to a tee now :-D

      Hi Steadfast, cant make out why I got an alert on your update but I like it, don't understand all of it but I like it just the same.

    Vulcan just lapped Chippenham 4 times. Manages a couple of photos on the final pass too. Nice!

      Yep, landed now, was circling awaiting the red arrows to land

      She and the Arrows live quite near me and I hardly ever see them these days since more houses ruined my sight line to Lincolnshire!

    Class 66 doors: slam, slam, clunk, slam, bang, clunk, slam. Still won't shut. Class 59: shuts first time. Sums up the difference between them nicely!

    1. Shedmaster

      Shedmaster

      ...and when you book em' the fitters reply with sarcastic comments such as 'do not slam the doors, they just need a gentle push' !

    2. Rods_of_Revolution

      Rods_of_Revolution

      The Class 66 has two door handles so you have to shut it once for each handle! The 59 is the classic one handle one shut design.

    Photographing a train on the way home from work, that two hours previously I'd prepared and examined. Satisfying :-)

    1. big jim

      big jim

      Ive done the same on a few occassions!!

    2. Steadfast

      Steadfast

      It's nice seeing a train you dealt with running safely further on! I can't wait to sink my teeth back into some proper shunting, all train prep and examining at the moment

  9. Steadfast

    Can I beat tug 71 to Fariwood Jnc?

    Paypal makes me angry. I don't want to sign in, I simply want to use the credit card for a one off payment...So I've had to link the debit card to my Paypal. Yay. Just waiting for card fraud again now :-(

    My least favourite part of respraying a Farish 60...painting the light clusters black always seems to take far longer than it should

    1. newbryford

      newbryford

      Same for a Hornby 60!

    2. Steadfast

      Steadfast

      Much larger area on that though! It's a shame all the current liveries have black light clusters. The masked and sprayed NRN aerials (at the same time as the grills) came out nicely though, much easier than brushing!

  12. Steadfast

    Had my sign off at work today. Apparently I know what I'm talking about. That was a genuine surprise! More importantly, time for some modelling now it's done :-)

      Nice one Jo. Should have had mine 3 weeks ago, but left 3 days before!!!!

      Cheers Steve, still looking for my open door out of retail! It's true what they say about the people making a job though, there's been a few "good guys" behind me with this.

  13. Steadfast

    Yay,

      Impreza or mini for me. Or the Quattro for those mad moments! The sound recordings on this game seem to have kicked up a notch

  15. Steadfast

    Masking Colas orange/yellow over a class 47 bodyside door. Fun, I think not! We'll see how it fares later on...

    has had enough of sand/fill/sand/fill/sand/remove too much plastic.....fill the new problem. Repeat to fade...

      angell328

      Just wait to you get to the painting stage! Prime, sand, prime, fill area that only shows up after priming, sand, prime, top coat. Notice its wrong shade, start over.....!

      Don't - that brings back memories of my respray of 60074...

    Cantrail striping...once you start you just can't stop...

    1. Rods_of_Revolution

      Rods_of_Revolution

      Should I expect you to have a cantrail stripe across your forhead when I next see you?

    2. Steadfast

      Steadfast

      There are bits stuck to my hands now, so I could have already without knowing...

    Dad heard a Pink Floyd interview on the radio today where Nick Mason said they don't get recognised and he can shop in Sainsburys without being spotted. I've spotted him. I've moved him to a quieter till. Not gone "aren't you the bloke with the Ferraris?" Though :-)
