    Is giving his SECR H Class a good run. I had forgotten how pretty the Edwardian livery was.

      The Force from you weakening it is, I see, young Brinkly. Strong you need to be. Resist the lure of the pretty engines you must!

      I do like a nice Edwardian livery Master Kernow!

    4. Captain Kernow

      Captain Kernow

      Susceptible you are, if seduced by small and pretty things you become, young Brinkly. Use the Force Young Master and put such fanciful notions aside. Strength you now need to avoid falling for an LNER prototype next!

    Did some modelling today - first time in 13 months!

      Will the parents get fined now for taking their kids out of school during term time?

      Not sure Stubby - Some certainly should as they lived 100 yards away from school!!

      I sense that if anyone puts just one of those under your nose, the slightly ajar door could be well and truly pushed open!

      I am retired (enjoying it very much, since you ask) but don't get snow days anymore. It's not fair.

    2. Brinkly

      Brinkly

      It isn't. Everyone should have a paid snow day.

      Some unplanned time for modelling then Nick!

    Was very interested to read on the BBC news website that no less than 6 properties in Ivybridge are owned by overseas companies! Very interested to know which one.

      Not the Sportmans Arms & The Imperial?

    3. Brinkly

      Brinkly

      There is something going on! For far too long, the Cornish have exerted too much influence over the Western parts of Ivybridge.

      As it stands, we know the Sportsmans Arms is still own by Mr Hubard; however, we do not know if it is an 'English' company!

    4. Tim V

      I'm surprised it's that few.

    Does anyone have an LSWR brake van kit I could purchase? I'm not bothered about the type. 4mm please :-) Cheers

      I think I have one at home. I will have a look after work.

      Cheers! That would be great. :-)

    Feels that working in a lunatic asylum would be better than the school he is currently at!

      Some of the teachers in the school that backs on to our house should be in a lunatic asylum, let alone the pupils.

      I wish to protest on behalf of all my fellow lunatics about the the lowering of the standard at which our status is defined, besides its crammed enough in here without gratuitous infiltration.

      Tempting Mr Stationmaster, Sir, but I doubt that I could find the right screw to undo to release said component.

      Modelu make a Top Feed for the Dukedog, but I'm not sure if it is correct for a 14xx.

      If no joy with those leads try PM to 'BlueLightning' of this parish, he can produce bespoke transfers

      Looks like eBay adverts are now allowed on status updates. I'll keep that in mind for future use.....

      Well I didn't know they weren't allowed - still great news as you have been able to bid on something! ;-)

    Currently selling a 56xx P4 loco on eBay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/262861121868?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

    Has a failed Well Tank. :-( Ran fine before xmas. I've emailed Kernow (certainly don't expect a reply till next week), but has anyone else had this?

  23. Brinkly

    Has had a nice evening playing with a loop of track, a Triang Freight Master set and a Well Tank! Amazing how the motors in 00 locos have improved since the 1960s!

      Well you would hope that 50+ years would deliver some form of progress. Epsecially as go back 50 years and the trains would have been powered by clockwork.

  24. Brinkly

    Currently 'running-in' my Heljan 1366 class loco. Lily, our collie, isn't sure!

    1. Mikkel

      Mikkel

      Hope it runs well (the loco).

    2. Brinkly

      Thanks Mikkel, yes she isn't bad at all. Very smooth.

    3. Captain Kernow

      Captain Kernow

      You must have confused her, Nick. In Yorkshire, collies were traditionally used to round up J72s and other LNER locos.

  25. Brinkly

    Has really enjoyed watching WestWorld - brilliant story lines, some of which I predicted! Great stuff! Shame it has finished for a while.
