  1. I haven't seen a policeman around here this year, I don't think I saw one last year either. So how is it I get a speeding fine not a quarter of a mile from here?

  2. Unable to get through to JLTRT for the past week or so, does anyone know if there is a problem, maybe illness ?

      Lawrie has hurt his back so the team are not up to full strength.

  3. Took the car for a check as steering wheel shuddering - two new tyres, balanced and aligned and £140 lighter - bang goes that new loco...

      Strange solution to a shuddering steering wheel.....Quickfit perchance? I used to take to company car in there for a puncture repair and would end up with 8 new tyres....

  4. I added 500 people to my flickr account this week, so far 3 have returned the favour. What's the point....

      Who cares who wants to follow you? I use Flickr for my enjoyment, adding other people to 'like' my page certainly doesn't enhance that enjoyment.

  5. Don't like when people do unwarranted public hatchet jobs on decent traders in places like this.

  6. is thoroughly pi**ed off by combative keyboard oiks that have caused the 'MRJ - Looking back at the early ones (for the first time)' thread to be locked. This was an interesting thread looking back at modelling methods that have changed over the years amongst other things. It would be hoped that any future MRJ threads do not degenerate into objectionable posting. The magazine , with all its rights,wrongs and errors is still a venerable publication that many of us on here enjoy.

      Hate to say it, but a large percentage of threads on RMWEB these days descend into keyboard warrior tittle tattle.

  7. How the h£ll could someone stir up enough cr@p to get the bargain hunters thread locked? Get a life!

      Most of the decent regularly commented on threads seem to be going that way these days. Such a shame. Too many opinionated people who can't keep their traps shut.

  8. currys are hopeless phoned today to be told repaired computer would be with by 7 tonight phoned to find out where it is to be told they are awaiting parts and will now be with on Wednesday :-(

  9. After 3 different 'Expected Delivery' dates, Atlas are finally shipping a loco I pre-ordered just short of two years ago. Because of currency fluctuations, it's going to cost me 10% more than it would have when I ordered it.

      And your point is? Pretty much par for the course these days.

  10. Off to Warley tomorrow. Got to get up at Daft O'clock to get the 06:23hrs train from Newcastle. Anyone else fancy a meet up when we get there?

  11. Placed a Hattons order 3 days ago, it hasn't even been despatched yet. Will be asking them why later...

      I remember the not so long ago days that a quote of 28 days delivery was commonplace. We have all grown impatient in our high speed lives.

  12. Oh dear, bought a few coaches on eBay last night, buyer has now cancelled the sale, they'd failed to do their research and asked too little. I didn't like the seller asking for more money, eBay didn't like that.

      Muppets. Another reason why I rarely use Flea Bay these days. A lot of dishonest people on there.
