I didn't he was just sniffing it, I'm not daft

They say owners and pets look alike but what about their eating habits ?

Need to convince modelu to get down to the next Dr Who convention with their sonic scanner

If you are looking for a suggestion might I throw polybulks into the ring. I know Bachmann have their very fine model but these are going for ludicrous prices on ebay. Accurascale seem to have the means to produce equally if not better detailed models at a more competitive cost.

I hope that somewhere they all know how grateful we are for their courage and sacrifice

And if you do then you risk it repeating itself

Hello Charlie, I was only planning to use the one speaker.

Being typically BRITISH: 🇬🇧 Having to shout “weyhey” if someone spills a drink or drops a glass in the pub. 🇬🇧Saying “Aaaaaah” after taking the first sip of a cold beer. 🇬🇧 Having to have a beer at the airport, even though it is before 6am. 🇬🇧Staring at your phone in silent horror until the unknown number stops ringing 🇬🇧Hearing a recording of your own voice and deciding it’s perhaps best never to speak again 🇬🇧The relief when someone doesn’t answer their phone within three rings and you can hang up. 🇬🇧 Being obsessed with the weather. 🇬🇧Filming an entire fireworks display on your phone, knowing full well you’ll never, ever watch it again 🇬🇧 Mishearing somebody’s name on the second time of asking, meaning you must now avoid them forever. 🇬🇧 Leaving everything til the last minute. 🇬🇧Obsession with the traffic. 🇬🇧Asking people “How their journey was?” 🇬🇧 Leaving it too late to correct someone, meaning you must live with your new name forever 🇬🇧 Running out of ways to say thanks when a succession of doors are held for you, having already deployed ‘cheers’, ‘ta’ and ‘nice one’ 🇬🇧 Wearing shorts and sunglasses the moment the sun comes out. 🇬🇧 Having a Barbecue the moment the sun comes out. 🇬🇧 Insisting the barbecue will still go on despite the rain. 🇬🇧 Changing from ‘kind regards’ to just ‘regards’, to indicate that you’re rapidly reaching the end of your tether 🇬🇧 Realising you’ve got about fifty grand’s worth of plastic bags under your kitchen sink 🇬🇧"You’ll have to excuse the mess” – Translation: I’ve spent seven hours tidying in preparation for your visit 🇬🇧 Indicating that you want the last roast potato by trying to force everyone else to take it. 🇬🇧Knowing that putting the kettle on in a crisis will calm the situation down. 🇬🇧 The overwhelming sorrow of finding a cup of tea you forgot about 🇬🇧 Turning down a cup of tea for no reason and instantly knowing you’ve made a terrible, terrible mistake 🇬🇧 Suddenly remembering your tea and necking it like a massive, lukewarm shot. 🇬🇧Forming a queue for almost anything. 🇬🇧 Finding queue jumping as a serious crime 🤣 🇬🇧 "I’m off to bed” – Translation: “I’m off to stare at my phone in another part of the house” 🇬🇧 Waiting for permission to leave after paying for something with the exact change 🇬🇧 Saying hello to a friend in the supermarket, then creeping around like a burglar to avoid seeing them again 🇬🇧 Watching with quiet sorrow as you receive a different haircut to the one you requested, whilst nodding approvingly as they hold the mirror up behind you, to show you what you can not see at the back. 🇬🇧 Being unable to pay for something with the exact change without saying “I think that’s right” 🇬🇧 Starting a controversial statement with “I’m not being funny, but...” 🇬🇧 Overtaking someone on foot and having to keep up the uncomfortably fast pace until safely over the horizon 🇬🇧 Being unable to turn and walk in the opposite direction without first taking out your phone and frowning at it 🇬🇧 Deeming it necessary to do a little jog over zebra crossings, while throwing in an apologetic mini wave 🇬🇧 Punishing people who don’t say thank you by saying “you’re welcome” as quietly as possible 🇬🇧 Loudly tapping your fingers at the cashpoint, to assure the queue that you’ve asked for money and the wait is out of your hands 🇬🇧 Looking away so violently as someone nearby enters their PIN that you accidentally dislocate your neck. 🇬🇧 Finding nothing better than a Danish bacon sandwich. 🇬🇧 Being squashed on the train by a larger person and pretending you don’t notice when they are half sitting in your seat. 🇬🇧 Being sure to start touching your bag 15 minutes before your station, so the person in the aisle seat is fully prepared for your exit 🇬🇧 Repeatedly pressing the door button on the train before it’s illuminated, to assure your fellow commuters you have the situation in hand 🇬🇧 Having someone sit next to you on the train, meaning you’ll have to eat your crisps at home 🇬🇧 The huge sense of relief after your perfectly valid train ticket is accepted by the inspector 🇬🇧 The horror of someone you only half know saying: “Oh I’m getting that train too” 🇬🇧 “Sorry, is anyone sitting here?” – Translation: Unless this is a person who looks remarkably like a bag, I suggest you move it 🇬🇧 Worrying you’ve accidentally packed 3 kilos of cocaine and a dead goat as you stroll through “Nothing to declare” 🇬🇧 Being unable to stand and leave without first saying “right” 🇬🇧 Not hearing someone for the third time, so just laughing and hoping for the best 🇬🇧 Saying “anywhere here’s fine” when the taxi’s directly outside your front door. 🇬🇧 Getting in a taxi and trying your hardest not to say it, but you know you will eventually say “you been busy mate?” 🇬🇧 Saying “Sorry” for absolutely everything even though it was not your fault.

Thank you very much for such a quick reply. Its a rescued 33 that I took pity upon and adopted at the bluebell railwayana show yesterday so I am trying to give it some tlc. Thanks again. Chris

Hello, could some kind soul please let me know how I access the gears in an older Heljan class 33 ? I have tried to lever the bottom plate off but am nervous about snapping it. Many thanks Chris

Thanks, have been advised separately to lower the volume for safety.

I made a new friend at the garden centre today. Marilyn the Maine . Beautiful girl.

Hello all, a quick question if I may. I have a soundtraxx econami chip with amp rated at 8 ohm 2 watt. I would like to use a rail exclusive baby boomer speaker with it because they sound great. The speaker is rated at 8 ohm but only 1 watt. Does this mean the amp of the chip is going to over drive the speaker. Apologies for my ignorance, all advice gratefully received. Chris

Glad to see this is service is available, hopefully some distributors will offer it too.

Apologies if mentioned elsewhere but this made me sigh. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/travel/travel_news/article-11994097/Historic-train-carriages-taken-service-Gen-Z-passengers-use-doors.html

A fragrance pour un homme or pour une femme ?

You forgot Iconic 😀

Curious, I have a number of the chips and agree they come set at a horribly loud volume but knock the relevant cv down to its lowest level and they are fine even in my enclosed loft. I must need my ears dyna rodding perhaps 🙂

Hopefully some dealers will sell them preloaded with your chosen sound files as whilst it sounds good it seems a lot of faffing about compared to just buying the chip you want preloaded and fitting it.
