    56302 + steel train +sunny sky with fluffy clouds = top stuff :-)

    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 :-)

      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.

    First morning waking up without an alarm since Sunday. Lie in. What a luxury :-)

  4. Steadfast

    56302 on Westbury - Bescot. More please Colas :-D

  5. Steadfast

    Course in Oxford. So far so good on the traffic and travel news. 3 hours travelling for a 3 hour course. Yay :-)

  6. Steadfast

    So they want to change the law to allow MI5 and MI6 to drive above the posted speed limits? I thought they already could. That's just about every Bond film ruined for me now. Dear Sir/Madam, I think you'll find it's most inappropriate to raise one's hopes of seeing a real spy having a car chase at high speed through London. I am most disappointed and have had my childhood memories ruined. Disgusted of wild Wiltshire. Yeah right.... :-D

    Windy out. Warm in bed. Ashes to ashes in the DVD, ep 1 series 1. Let's close up the windows, hit play and fire up the Quattro!

  9. Steadfast

    It's that time of year that everyone working in retail loves...just bought myself a new camera body to make up for it :-D

      I didn't! Home and dry, was on 1C21 16.03 Padd - Temple Meads. Leg room...what a luxury :-D

      Captain Kernow

      Pssst! Don't let on, but there are a pair on seats on Arriva 158s, as well, which give the long-legged a bit of decent leg room - down the aisle near the luggage racks!

    Best doughnuts ever eaten today. Every Sunday is a market outside the former Swindon works shopping centre featuring local produce. Pippins doughnuts. Mmmmmmmmmmmm

    GTA online. So great, yet so frustrating. So much for the bad sports getting bad rep...

    Homebrew beer. hic. :-D

    GTA IV multiplayer...oh so much fun! Why did I wait so long to get Xbox Live???

  17. Steadfast

    Grid Thump. Noun; the feeling thats travels through the ground to one's body upon the passing of a class 56. 56091, Kennington Loop. Nice :-D

    4. Steadfast

      Steadfast

      Well that's all done! Home a little later than planned, thanks for the warm welcome Stuart!

  19. Steadfast

    Why is it always when doing the last little bits of painting that you manage to completely wreck the paintwork? So much for the bow pen saving me time, at least waterslides don't leave me with tissue stuck in white spirit softened paint and holes in the top coat of paint. Will it look better in the morning? Hmmmmm

  20. Steadfast

    Michael. Franklin. Trevor. :D

    So nice to be spraying Railmatch again after struggling with Precision Paints :-)

      Same issue - Railmatch don't do Colas colours

      Odd, I have no problems, but then I don't use rattle cans anymore :)

      14ml tinlets for me. I just can't get a consistent finish without a really thick coat and then half of it peels off under Tamiya masking tape. Contrast that with the Railmatch I've just sprayed on a DB 60, perfect finish, easy to apply.

  22. Steadfast

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

      TCT blue is easier!

    Fed up of holding my clicks because Flickr has the hiccups. Well it has for the last fortnight now. So much for research tonight, ah well

      Even moreso annoying if you pay to use it like myself and it constantly plays up...

      I've had this for the past few days. Its annoying to say the least especially when your researching things.

      Probably because American users have all tried to use it simultaneously

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

    1. 69843

      69843

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

    2. DJM Dave

      DJM Dave

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

    3. andyram

      andyram

      @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.

  25. Steadfast

    So that's what Skyfall is...
