Is that Fit To Rust?

fair point - now where did i leave the waxoil? Fit for work makes such a poor acronym and thinking about it "fit to run" is not encouraging either since I can't stand running

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.

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.

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!"

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

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

Not heard Carter for ages. They were class.

yup. couldn't go to the final show either My ipod has died so i've finally succumbed to spotify: leading to 101 damnations. Musical exploration has halted making con-rods tonight

Been singing this song for months now and just downloaded it from itunes last week. Brilliant.

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?

I sometimes wonder how people without our specialized tools manage to achieve anything in the house.

Sounds like a great project!

Tomorrow is reserved for trying to carve rough stonework from MDF to make the cell partitions. I'm full of cold so its an ideal exercise for staying indoors. If it works I can move on to doing the bridge too. Just got to fathom out how to export/print from TurboCad

Wish I had that on mine...

You'll be lucky.

A light escape this year. Much lighter than you I believe. Thank you for saving me from Martin Finney's kits.

I hope a 5'0" board is not too unweildy (foamboard) it makes for nice splits around trackwork but sadly goes straight through the signalman's toilet.

Ye'll have had your tea?

ach nae, but I'll be saein that yeel huv been huvin it fae me.

Hope it`s a bright sunny day and the CV works wonders for you.

Good Luck!

Isn't that one of Parkinsons's Laws?
