Any North East East industrial Town to Middleton Bank Holiday Weekend Excursion.

Doug: of course. If I'm going to wear a hair shirt then of course its P4 David, aye snapshot was a bit pot luck. Mark that was my next thought, making it an extra easy livery to do too. Unfortunately the Yeadons version of its record card says it enjoyed nice holidays north to Cowlairs for its workshop time Paul, a Middleton excusion had crossed my mind (a j39 did work the last passenger train from Bishop Auckland to Middleton) but I'm wondering if West Auckland shed served Shil...

By proccess of elimination due to allocation dates and shopping at North Road, I've now narrowed down to a choice between 64848 and 64835.

had that experience years ago, it's sickening. Good luck.

Name, rank and number, that's all you have to give. Seriously, I hope it goes well for you.

Dunno which is worse: getting the 9am summons, or getting the heave-ho by text.

Its a Graskop of I've been using, got any contact details/info/price for Swanage models?

his phone number is 07986 726169 the RSU is £145 plus £10 postage.

cheers for the info

desk found, coffee machine set to stun, tools dug out, radio set to 6-music aah now this is what wednesdays are for. All hail pre-seasonal peak shift pattern rest days.

The V2 does have the attraction of getting the RSU out.......

You know you want to do it

I did but the j-72 has won the day. It's a while since this was tacked together so its a good excuse to get the new toy out to check its square. Bring on the avonside jig.

I think my knee has Mazak rot!

Ooh, does that mean you'll be flogging your knee on eBay as "spares or repair"?

"Ideal for first time buyer!"

ta much. Off tae Smiffs I go. I've a feeling that part of the problem is caused by try to be clever and pre-tinning and trying to sweat these with an rsu. They're taking a lot of solder along the edges and are chunky. Possibly back to clamping together and using capilliary action to fill in future.

Use plenty of flux. Where the flux is, the the solder will follow.

most definitely have done - dunked in, in fact. Btw mrj not in smiths

All the best with your health Steve.

You were certainly 'high' at the weekend Steve....

happy, having a good day, and had just had two coffees to combat the late morning "slump". Apologies for being a bit hyper. I meant it though.... lovely buffer stops.

Not a snapping job then?

nope. A new direction, a mid-life career change allowing the pressure off of what I enjoy and letting me recapture the enjoyment in that. I'm going back into one of my family's historical trades

How did I guess?

though you were pessimistic on this stage of the problem solving, you were optimistic though on the overall timescale of the problem. No mail into the desktop since 16/01. Phone no problem. Even new mail client on desktop does not solve prob. At this rate I'll have to contemplate trackbuilding.

oooh goody 295 spams. That'll teach me to disaster test the antivirus until it let mail through.

I turned our kitchen 'light rust'. She wasn't pleased...

it was a part used can btw. Laid on its side on a sacrificial tea-towel in case of disaster. A very small drill was used to pierce the side at the highest point, having allowed time for the paint to settle. As the tip pierces, you'll feel the air on your hand move. Stop at that point and let it depressurise a bit. OPening the kitchen window was a good move at this point. Next open the hole up and then pour carefully, Remember a suitable funnel for next time though. Tis a pity Halfords pri...

Turn it upside down and spray.

Good pub - used it it wash and brush up in the mornings when camping at Castlerigg - So your from John peel country then?

.....surely not the Pennine big hill?

yup - Darlington born and bred. In mitigation holidays from before I was born were staying in one of the ganger's terraces in Keswick

Had a Wafer this afternoon...

Still think Teacake is superior.

coconut snowballs for me

I already said that last week.

my apologies Mr Tan. I'm not in here as much as I used to be so must have missed that. Perhaps you could send out a pigeon with a newsletter?

No, he's too busy poisoning pigeons in the park...

Would that be Mrs. Trellis from North Wales?

well lets be honest any fruitcake from anywhere would be welcome, though north wales's Mrs T and the ghost of Humph would be excellent. Clue vol3 has helped through 8 blocks and guides, 4 spacesavers and twelve min-blocks.

question to self: always overstock on small stuff by at least 50% to one engines worth to allow for mangling and launching or glue everything to the desk before starting?

I've had a clearout and it has taken 12 months to shift it, but I have got a nice new chassis for the Landie.

Horsetan how true you are!haha

Dave..... you wouldn't be in the market for a d44 competition winch bumper would you? Landrover stuff is one of the things that i can no longer justify keeping.

The Trent at Holme Pierrepont is especially foul - I've paddled the white water course there a few times.

Its best to drink a large amount of cola afterwards to kill of any germs...

Time for drinking tea and reading MRJ, I'd have thought work on Broomielaw would be taking up all your time? S.T

thinking about work on Broomielaw? Yes. Doing....... a slightly lower percentage. Especially as the memory stick with the CAD on has disappeared. Fortunately I've all the notes but its going to be a bummer redoing all that. There is a 1:10 crossing jigged up on top of the printer.... does that count?

Tee-Hee

Brummieland: God's Wonderful Real estate - enjoy! Change?

The Bull Ring not 'Bullring'

Curzon Street not 'Eastside'

hmm looking at the weather, I shall dress accordingly..... gold plated waders and a chrome sou'wester. Bring round my flagship and prepare to make smoke. Also, given the moist atmospheric conditions today have my zeppelin crew stand down.

run away. A tactless retreat undertaken in the face of "chicken curry pasty"!

My relatives take up more time than most...

still waiting for the 36 hour day. Only so I can do the same amount of modelling but have a lie in AND slob in front of the telly drinking beer for longer....

hmmmmmmm, so what we really need is..... the three-day day? OOOOOOIIIIIiiiiii Cox: SORT IT

hmmm. Ta for that. I've gone straight on to non solvent evostick and screws already

One week!? :-O

Amendment..... evostick has been replaced by double sided carpet tape. One 625x500x60mm diorama board made. Weight (complete with underlay): 691g.

Go on the dark side. Less chance of sun burn!

Warp speed!

Wow phasing

yup. thats the fella

oh and in the end, there was not much wrestling, just a bit of stocktaking and planning. Tomorrow morning: who knows?

wrestling and bafflement underway. Can I fit a full size pony truck in the living room as a reference aid?

wise,very wise

Would love to help, really I would but just haven't got the time, soooo sorry.

well if you could make friday clearup instead, that would be cool. I'm shortly going to file lots of rail so have postponed dust eradication due to passing pointlessness.

Smut!

Give me smut

And nothing but!

hmmmmmm time to bring out the old dope pedlar?

though first,

(bring on the obscene movies, murals, postcards, neckties,

Samplers, stained-glass windows, tattoos, anything!

More, more, I'm still not satisfied!)

Stories of tortures

Used by debauchers,

Lurid, licentious, and vile,

Make me smile.

Novels that pander

To my taste for candor

Give me a pleasure sublime.

(let's face it, I love slime.)

Aye thats the one. Its gone together not too badly considering my two left thumbs, but if this was a car i'd be saying stiffer/longer spring rates or up the coilover rates. Should it sit on the bumpstops?

I thought the whole point was to have the suspension allowing the engine to sit in mid-travel, not on the bumpstops.

hmmmm, thought so. The j-72 was set at mid (ish) travel. This seems to have settled on the stops so off to ye olde-worlde shoppe of geetars in town on my lunch break tomorrow. From tens to 12/13s me thinks.also time to check Chris Pendleton's article in MRJ 175.

LoL

Nah" Hot X buns, Stawberry Jam and lashings of Butta...

hehe , best get the delivery van fired up then. Sainsbos in the derbyshire/staffs wastelands has stopped selling them, reducing me to a mere pastry addict
