  1. I'm sorry, but no one will ever persuade me that waterslide transfers are preferable to Methfix. Unfortunately they were all I could get for my purpose.

      I have this strange objection to transfers that crease up when varnished. And the "invisible" backing film that isn't? Sorry, Methfix will always be the Rolls Royce for me, these things are the bloody Ford Anglia. I only hope I can hide the mess under weathering.

  2. Currently building a 10 ton covered goods wagon from an excellent 51L whitemetal kit. Does anyone know of a source of transfers for goods stock of the Hull Barnsley & West Riding Junction Railway and Dock Company?

      No. But you could try the unshaded private owner lettering from HMRS.

      Has to be better than that bloody Slade thing that every shop seems to have playing.

  4. You'll dress only in attire specially sanctioned by MiB special services. You'll conform to the identity we give you, eat where we tell you, live where we tell you. From now on you'll have no identifying marks of any kind. You'll not stand out in any way. Your entire image is crafted to leave no lasting memory with anyone you encounter. You're a rumor, recognizable only as deja vu and dismissed just as quickly. You don't exist; you were never even born. Anonymity is yo...

  5. Retired, but still busy!

      Me neither. I am amazed by people who find retirement "boring". Never been less bored in my life.

  7. I thought political threads weren't allowed, so why is there a thread on the general election?

    1. Poggy1165

      Poggy1165

      I have a theory that to some people 'politics' means 'Left wing'. Or in other words, if it's not Left wing, it isn't politics.

      I agree that politics should be banned. Surprised with what some people get away with, though.

  9. Have found at least 20 news 'stories' that could be April fools. Says a lot about times in which we live that I can no longer tell the difference!

  10. RMweb has been a source of comfort during times of stress for me, and no doubt will continue to be so in the future. But... there are days when I just really want to go away and never come back.

      Poggy1165

      I know that feeling. We just have to keep buggering on. Tomorrow, as Scarlett said, is another day.

  11. OK the drama is over. Decided to stick with my original layout idea. Just need to get my butt into gear.

    1. Poggy1165

      Poggy1165

      One that works, as opposed to one that idles.

  12. Just waiting on visitors coming for lunch as they are in the area, SHE will do the usual looking around with her nose in the air. God don't you just love people like that....

      I find frankness very effective. If someone gets up my nose, I tend to tell them to go forth and multiply, or words to that effect. One is not living in a BBC comedy after all.

  13. The GCR cattle wagon plates have arrived. The annoying thing is I no longer have an excuse not to finish them.

    1. Poggy1165

      Poggy1165

      The cattle wagons, that is. They've been sleeping quietly in their drawer for some time now.

  14. Just prepared my Z Class 0-8-0t resin body from Golden Arrow ready for painting... gosh this kit is an easy one !, its taking longer to find a donor 8F chassis on ebay

    1. Poggy1165

      Poggy1165

      Nice engines, Z class.

  15. After due deliberation and several weeks careful consideration I have come to the conclusion that I will never win any prizes for speed modelling.

    1. Poggy1165

      Poggy1165

      I think there should be a club for slow modellers, with a prize for whoever took longest todo least.

      7mm scale, the railway modelling Borg. Resistence is futile. You will be assimilated.

  19. I have about 10 potential projects I am ready to start and can't decide which one to do first hence achieving nothing on any of them.

  20. My Building Society told me they are cutting my savings interest yet again, so i took some out and ordered a couple of locos.

    1. Poggy1165

      Poggy1165

      Pretty much what the authorities want you to do.

  21. Looks like they're starting to replace the local street lights with LEDs. Yay! No more nasty orange glow in the garden and bedrooms!

    1. Poggy1165

      Poggy1165

      It means people spend more money on their own doorway lighting.

  22. Putting transfers on a rectangular tank wagon can be surprisingly difficult!

    1. Poggy1165

      Poggy1165

      I have got them on at last and reasonably aligned. Now I have left them to dry out thoroughly so I can protect the things with varnish. And once that varnish has dried, I can breathe again!

  23. Still think the rearrangement of the various forums is a bit naff....! Anyone agree?

  24. Who else is more or less totally indifferent to this major sporting event taking place in Brazil?

      Let's put it this way, I would sooner watch a long sequence of party political broadcasts.

  25. Just opened my latest Ebay buy, a couple of 'pro weathered wagon'......it appears someone spilt the paint on them.

    1. Poggy1165

      Poggy1165

      Perhaps the pro was a pro at some other activity.
