    Just ordered a BR Green 2-EPB. I am definitely still a 'Southern' supporter at heart.

  2. Matloughe

    A dilemma... Bachmann 4-CEP or a Hornby 4-VEP? Or most likely a more suitable 2-EPB? Oh dear... There can be only one.

      Don't bother with the Hornby 4VEP, the Bachmann models are far better - I own one example of each so I know!

      I have read all three threads thoroughly, but so far the only conclusion I have is I hope Bachmann do a 4-CIG.

      I would love a 4CIG myself but I love any SR Mk1 EMU!

    Dropped my Bl**dy phone down the loo... and now its frazzled. At least the water was clean.

      Is it all an insurance fraud? On a big scale!!!! Who would want to check out a phone that's been down the pan???

      It was in my combats pocket I took it out to put on the windowsill and tripped on a mat phone sailed through the air and splash. A few four letter words were shouted. I love the comments. :-D

    Just attacked my Acton Shuttle with paint... I am undecided - I need to keep reminding myself its just a base coat. And that I had got used to seeing it in MilkyBar cream colour.

    It's alive! The Ginny Moves!!!

    Shovelled 8 tons of soil today - am rather tired. Now if it was coal I wonder how far I would have got on a steam engine...

      8 tonnes should of got you quite far mind you locos dont steam well on dirt.

  7. Matloughe

    Settled on OO Gauge - for now at least. New Layout underway... its always exciting a new project - especially when the baseboards are complete already.

  8. Matloughe

    Currently attempting to repair an A4 Pacific - anyone know how to pop a tire back on the Hornby Pony Truck? Provided I can get the pony truck off that is...

  9. Matloughe

    Has the new Hornby A1X on order.

  10. Matloughe

    This has never happened before... I have more space then ever before for a Railway... and no ideas...

      Think small to start with then expand it.

  11. Matloughe

    Anyone part of Ilfracombe MRS?

  12. Matloughe

    Off to wander some of the Ilfracombe Branch.

    When you've been let down badly by the special lady in life, can turn to railway modelling... At least that can'r run away... unless its an unbraked freight with a snapped coupling.

      onward and upward, they only spend your money anyway! better spent on trains. As my son says there just for fun, the women not the trains !

      When this happens it can be the best day in your life. It happen to me and I've been married for over twenty years now.

      Thanks Guys!

      As they say, "Trains are for life, not just for Christmas"

    Suddenly understands why most modellers mention that brake rigging is a fiddly & slightly irritating job.

    Proud owner of his first O Gauge Locomotive!

      Good man , you know it makes sense. Next stop for you should be Telford on the 3rd or 4th then you will be hooked !!

       

  16. Matloughe

    First O Gauge Wagon is a complete rolling chassis, bodywork done. All I need to do is add details. Very Happy!

    Got frustrated with his Acton Shuttle... Decided a pot of tea and some late night cake was in order.

    1. halfwit

      Tea and cake is always in order!

      Agreed, tea & cake went down a treat!

  18. Matloughe

    My SR terminus seems to have taken a hybrid LB&SCR with GWR Coaching stock look... intriguing.

    1. Mikkel

      That sounds great - it's the layout I've always wanted to do!

    2. Matloughe

      It wasn't intentional I can assure you, although a Terrier hauling a B Set does look 'right':D

  19. Matloughe

    Oh dear my M7 nearly took a nose dive off the baseboard, good job it was dragging my failed T9 which barely kept it on.

      Who says scrapers are useless.

    Hornby is going to have to make some new R numbers for the track I've just taken a hacksaw to...

  21. Matloughe
