      I haven't dared to calculate the number of signals I need, but I suspect about 7-10. It will be an 'interesting' challenge when I get around to it.

  4. 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..

      Wasn't that much of a pain until I spent 1/2hour chopping kindling for the fire yesterday. Put the axe down for 2 minutes, tried to pick it up again and couldn't even grip it never mind use it.

      Fround signals are ones you leaf alone.

      Jon Fitness

      Bad day now cured by watching episode of "Mongrels". Pant dampeningly funny..

  12. has had a slightly better co-bo day today

  13. has had to read the manual for a domestic appliance today. Feels like my masculinity is ebbing. Jeez, I'll be asking for directions next!

    1. Horsetan

      Horsetan

      Well, there are sat-navs available if you need directions....

  14. has just about finished an Ex Chowbent 7mm scale L&Y A class 0-6-0. Pics to follow.

    1. Horsetan

      Horsetan

      Do teach us all as you go along!

  16. Has just driven past a Black 5 on his way to work. Couldn't see but I'm presuming 44806 on its way from llangollen to its new home at the NYMR...

    1. Captain Kernow

      Captain Kernow

      I hope it's one that would pass The Captain's Black 5 test...!

  17. has just purchased a 1:18 scale P51 mustang from a pub that's closing down on the IOW.

  18. 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....

  19. Has just seen the plans for the "improvements" at the A55/A483/B5445..hahaha....ahhahahah...HAHAHAH!. Total gridlock every morning..just like now but it'll cost 5.3million

      If you were the contractor given the job of building all of that, you'd be laughing too. All the way to the bank.

      I'm so glad I'm on shiftwork! I go through there twice a day but only during the quiet periods. The odd times I go through at 0830, I have to allow about 60 mins to do a 12 mile journey...Once this lot's done, Hutbers Law will apply....

  20. 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.

  21. Has made up some folding bars from some bits of scrap angle iron found in the garage. Wonder how many beer vouchers I've saved?...

  22. has managed to lose his camera case...between shots...at work. It's in the building somewhere....

      It's most probably hiding in full view!

      That's not to bad, I lost mine+lens cap and spare card on my last heritage ride.

  23. has seen the draft plans for Chester-Llandudno re-signalling (to be controlled from Cardiff)...gulp..

    1. beast66606

      beast66606

      I saw the ones were the coast down to The Junction went on to Chester, and heard proposals for Holywell Junction (small) PSB (!) - the character of the coast will be lost once the colour lights take over.

    2. Jon Fitness

      Jon Fitness

      Agreed! Must take more pics...must take more pics..must....

  24. has snaffled the last bit of home made malt loaf for his night shift lunch pack. 0300hrs munchies attack sorted!

    1. beast66606

      beast66606
