      Found a piccy of a blue grey one on Paul Bartlett's site but it was in 1968. Probably still working as a passenger brake rather than a parcels van.

      This has come up in various threads, some did get blue/grey early on but no other pre-BR BGs. Mainline used to do a 4mm model

      Yep when the BT E-mail plays up it asks for my password, after a day or so it goes away, so I assume they've fixed it...

      It is a weel known rule of project management - the first half of the project takes 90% of the time. The second half also takes 90% of the time...

      Trouble is, when I get to the finishing stages, I get impatient and try to rush it as I'm at the stage where I'm raring to get stuck into the next project...#comeoncomeocomeon.....

      It would suggest that your account has been hacked. As beast says, an immediate change would be advisable.

      keep it thin down the front and build up the back corners to get the right shape. Oh and if it's a rocking grate. make sure the linkage works correctly!

    Just leafed through the free copy of the Beano that came free in a newspaper today. Apart from being far more believable than the paper in which it arrived the words "fart" and "bum" seem to have crept in since I last purchased a copy ...which was when adverts started appearing in it. Harumph etc.....
