  1. What is it about hitting 40? Since my birthday, my joints have packed up, I'm getting more colds and "Old man" illnesses..... Uff!

      "Grumpy" can be a very pleasant state of mind. It sort of takes the stress out of everything ;-)

      many happy returns, count yourself lucky: grumpy, sleepy and ill started 5 years ago and has gone on ever since, if hitting forty means a big downhill slope the nI'm truly fubar next year. Have a good 'un chap

      Peaks are great, they just sound like a sucession of cat farts!

      Not at all PoD, it would be very boring if we all liked the same thing. Now if you said a 66 or 67 over a Deltic then we would have to correct that.

      You should be re-calibrating the question - what possible use is a Peak or a Deltic when compared with the glory that is any Western Hydraulic?...:-p

  3. Experimenting with latex.....

      Have you noticed how the older photographers didn't pay sufficient attention to our need to clearly see lines of rivets and brick courses?

  24. Hi Sam.

    Thanks for looking in. More so, thanks for allowing me to take a look round Car No.79. This has allowed me to make a much more accurate model. Please keep looking in on progress and feel free to post on the thread.

    Thanks again.

    Sean.
