CovDriver

TBH, I’ve not read beyond the first few posts

Blue streak you've hit the nail on the head there.

Likewise, Vincent.

Best of luck with your recovery.

Ouch! Get well soon mate!

Cheers guys just got to get some modelling done now.

You could of course come to Scaleforum, which has already provided a better class of disappointment for some already....

If I had the day off as I was on early this morning I may have tried to attend maybe next time ?

If there is a next time....

Funniest thing I ever saw at Nuneaton was announcement to say Crewe-Euston service cancelled so passengers ran from Platform 5 over the bridge to waiting Class 153 on Platform 2 as advised to get Cov-Euston service. Well talk about karmasutra! People pressed up against the windows. Soon to be followed by announcement that Euston train was arriving on Platform 5 shortly. Mass exodus from 153 back to Platform 5!:-o

bet your gutted not to be on that service again! all the best with the training

I will miss that route especially seeing the colas 70's I had three past me this morning with a rake of empty flats. Cheers Jim

That explains it...

Well done! Just shows how much LM have relied on people doing overtime just to cover the basic roster.

So true a few depots have had enough now cant really say much more publically but you've hit the nail on the head there Rugd1022

Still waiting for the InterCity Swallow One!

Not just one but two up front to Penzance and back in March!

Heljan running poll on how to do one for their O model

Kimberley has left I believe I think she left before they moved shops ? As for Dan I can't picture him !!

I heard they were opening an upstairs too.

Dave told me that a while back but it's a case watch this space ?

Problem is my fleet would be one loco at those prices.how dull

Mate I am in exactly the same boat! I think once the new Dapol 08173 is released, I will be well and truly swayed! Then it's just a down hill slope then...

£199 is a tad out of my price range, if it gets cheaper I'll be very interested.

just remember its why in the instructions for a new Iron it will say do not iron cloths on body!

LOL. You have made my day with that, Thanks.

just read the article it seem to be confirmed , Its a German Bomb !!! like what else ? French maybe or american ??

A mere 1200 metres of cable used here with all the feeds!

Two wires is b******s

isn't it. Good fun in the long term though.

I only need two wires but then again, I'm not a train set...

CK - they're not available in the fonts on your computer. Probably. Or the software's broken. I get the question mark diamonds as well.

I've got 6 squares

Perhaps a UTF-8 character. Possibly the forum only (sensibly) supports ASCII.

It can also be obvious when people paste text directly from Word in to a web page.

They'll be screaming when I'm driving ??

Thanks

That screaming noise is the 4qu chopper !!

Well done

Congratulations! Not a 153 purchance? :-)

I'm with a link 2 driver so no 153's for two weeks at least instead I'll have the joys of 323's and 350's ??

Your right there Jim bang on. we went up there about 10am was hoping to see something freight wise but also trying to keep the enthusiast bit a secret if you know what I mean!!

they are all cranks in that box anyway!

It was the other 7 trainees and 2 instructors I was hiding from lol

How did you guess?

Common prob, I'll PM you

Cheers much appreciated

I'm being tempted to get rid of all my BR blue stock and concentrate on the mid 90's period

Nice, I'm modern image (hence the pendo picky) but I will be changing my profile pic soon.

could be the next RMWeb challenge....

Top gear is back and I'd like them to review 'normal cars' for the average man in the street, as its a motoring show!

You have no chance of that lot doing a reasonable priced car for the average person.

Dave - Watch 5th Gear ...zzzzzzz

I do like a nice Class 153. The service between Nun-Cov is one of my favourites. Saying that working on them may be another thing....

Scud-Tastic!

I'll wave to you from my favourite bridge.

Best of luck - I have mine to join the S&T on your patch next week. So fingers crossed for both of us

All the best mate. Paracetamol to the rescue.

Fingers crossed for you

A 142 no thanks the only diesel I'll get later on this year will be a 153!!

Good job! Real fun will begin once you're out there

Well done that man and may the larger pay packets begin!! You guys are very lucky,When I wanted to go back on the trains,because there were shortages 30 yrs ago I was too old at 29 how times have changed.

Cheers guys

Good look on passing then you could be Cov GTD ??

Best of luck

Ian Allan in Birmingham had three left yesterday so I bought one while I was on my PnB!!

You just made me decide to have to spend

Robin you've hit the nail on the head.

Just send me a PM with the name you'd like and I'll change it.

In that case, CG (or should that be "ex Cov Guard"? ), congratulations.

Trades and products has been moved up I think

So it has!

Also, About RMweb has gone down to the very bottom.

This was one of the secret sidings next to Box tunnel surely !!

If you look behind it, you will see all the steam engines held in the strategic reserve - Granges and counties as far as the eye can see...
