Looks like I am about to become a very big customer of Dapol at the end of the year. Nice one!!
-
Seriously considering respraying my Dapol Class 27's as that insipid greenshish shade of rail blue is starting to annoy me now...
-
One day I will find a second hand Hornby M7 that actually still has the whistle attached! Well, one can dream...
-
Quote of the day from Brighton Mdelworld by a visitor at a trade stand - "Collectibles? Obsolete and fit for nowt but landfill more like"
-
Can't quite believe that two people got into a bidding war and as a result I got twelve quid for an ancient Lima Mk 1 coach!! I would have accepted a quid...
-
Mystery parcel by my door when I returned from work - a very nice Model Rail Satlink bogie well wagon within that I had completely forgotten I had ordered!!!
-
Oh dear, I have found a legitimate excuse to purchase not one but two 2-BIL's... Hear the scream of the wallet...
-
Fed up to the back teeth with Christmas, roll on Boxing Day!!!
-
The Royal Mail - How does such a useless and frankly utterly incompetent organisation stay in business?!?
-
It's not even two o'clock and its almost dark outside already!!!
-
Just taken delivery of a Base Toys Duple Dominant coach model and wow!! One of the worst (not even) die cast model buses I have seen in over twenty years!!!!
-
Something strange may be sneaking along the Coastway West in the early hours of the morning... ;¬)
-
Is the Post Office on strike again? There has been no postal deliveries in my entire street for two days now!!
-
Binmen have just turned up, right day and right time so no sign of any strikes around here!
-
An interesting end to the day. My train, my passengers and I were at Three Bridges, our driver was at Victoria. Whoops...
-
The Gatwick Express Class 73 is here! Pity Hornby cocked up badly with livery errors... :-(
-
Where are all my bits to reassemble my Hornby Class 56? You would have thought the obvious place to look first was the little plastic box marked 'Hornby Cl56 Parts' wouldn't you?!?
-
There is nothing grumpier in the world than a workaholic with a day off...
-
Frustration is having lots of projects planned but suppliers can't be arsed to make the bits anymore!!!
-
Looks like I might have to get to work on the scenic parts of the layout, I may be getting visitors!!
-
The 'Christmas Avoidance Plan' (ring mother on Xmas eve and pretend I have the flu!) has hit a snag, need to either rethink my strategy or pray for heavy snow about 4pm on Friday... :¬S
-
Arrgh snow, I only want it on the 25th and 26th so I can avoid the relatives and cancel Christmas altogether!!!!
-
Five to six inches of snow in Sussex, ALL trains are cancelled, in fact some of last nights crews still haven't got back yet!!
