Chester PSB now has a re-laid junction at Saltney including an extra set of points we didn't have before. Be another year before we can use the new ones though!

Methi gosht and musroom rice. Wecome back Chester PSB curry nite!!

right! the ladykillers has finished, Xmas is over, time to warm up the soldering iron and get back to normality.

decided to forego the sprout gratin and stirfry them with leeks instead.

is slowly getting to grips with what his resistance soldering iron can do. I now think I love it!

after visiting The Crown (top pub in penzance) is now having a night cap on the night Riviera. Very nice.e

chuffin class 24 cab glazing!!! Just nibbed up everything and one piece has come loose. (currently resting on the drivers 'ed) got to take it all apart to put it back. Managed to superglue it in first time with no marks. Bet it'll be a right mess now!! RRRRRRR!!!!

JLTRT class 24 nearing completion..

RIP Huyton Signalbox..another one gone tonight.

has been (rightly or wrongly, not sure) dipping easi-build mk1 plastic coach windows in boiling water and bending them slightly so they now fit properly in the window holes..

remembers the good old (peaceful) days before Line Blockages

is planning to go for a trundle along the Middlewich branch next week. Crewe-Chester blocked all week for engineering work and Virgin trains diverted along there..

finishing another 12 hour shift then off till next wednesday. Time to start catching up on the embarassingly large backlog of signal orders....

The dirt blows out, the dust blows in, you can't keep it neat

Used to think I was well paid until I saw the quote for having my solid fuel boiler and a couple of Rads changed..#skintforthenextfewmonths...

thinks that January will be spent making up new&improved 7mm scale signalling bits masters for whitemetal casting...

is just waiting for the last units to go on shed...come on Alstom PYFFO...

just posted my 1000th RMW message...and it's nothing to do with model railways. Slightly dull?

has just realised Telford GOG "do" is only about 6 weeks away....so many signals to build so little time. Digit removal time me thinks....

open the till......give me the change you said would do me good...

As much as I like building signals, working weight bars......right up there with working inside valve gear....rrrrr.

The "Servomatic" test rig is now Dual Action with added GF Contols servo board. Just wondering if I should upgrade the name to "Servotronic" coz it sounds a bit tricker and cooler....

is wondering if anyones ever built a switch diamond in 7mm scale...

Has just spent a nice couple of days involving Carrs pasties, Holdens Ice Cream, Joseph Holts Bitter, a day on the KWVR and a beer festival. Time well spent methinks.
