  1. Has built a couple of wagons and realised that he forgot to order the Bill Bedford W-Irons! Not a happy bunny!

  2. Cheers Al, Perhaps you could try carpet felt as a method. I'm in the process of building a little scene and intend to use it, the worst thing is the length of time that it takes to dry after it has been bleached! Regards, Nick.
  3. Hi Al, I've just discovered your blog! Such lovely work. Just out of interest what have you used for grass, carpet felt or hanging basket liner? Kind regards, Nick.
  4. Hi Martin, In a very old Model Rail the showed how to use Kingspan with Explanding Foam, would you like me to dig the article out? (Excellent idea though) Regards, Nick.
  5. Just spent the last five days in the South of France and didn't want to come home! :-(

      Were you there for the F1 by any chance? I only caught the practise session but it was fantastic to see and hear the cars for real.

  7. Thank god it's Friday tomorrow! I've already had to have two pints this evening!

  8. Feels completely exhausted! Can't wait till next weekend when I can have a break!

  9. That is a cracker of a track plan. Really nice. Regards, Nick.
  10. Has spent a lovely 25th birthday riding on the WSR with the other half! Now she's cooking dinner, I think I picked a winner! ;-)

      Just ask her not to bring any ginger cake!

       

      By the way, did you know that all your responses to these thingeys are coming up twice at the moment?

  12. Despises hayfever!

    1. Captain Kernow

      Captain Kernow

      and what's Hayfever's opinion on the matter?!

  13. Really does need to start fitting AJs to wagons!

    1. Captain Kernow

      Captain Kernow

      No, no, no! You really ought to be fitting 3-links to your wagons. Don't you realise there's an EU Directive on the matter?!

    2. Brinkly

      Brinkly

      You have seen me using 3-links, it's painful to watch! ;-)

  14. I'll say! Looks very good and flowing. B) Do you have anymore photos or track plans?
  15. Has just managed to shut his finger in the car door! Broke the blasted nail and my god it hurst! I've gone off Jags!

      OK then, what if it was a Honda? :-P

  16. Has just got back from a Christening and on the way home bought a couple of wagon kits!

      It did indeed! Seeing that the baby in question wasn't very impressed with the whole affair!

      Go for a Baptism as well and then you could get some more stuff!

      Brinkly

      haha! Yes! Well I do enjoy a trip to Winchester!

  17. I drove past Laira Deport this afternoon on my way back from a meeting and slowed up (as much as a dare!) going past allotments. There was a nice rake of tanker wagons sitting at the far end of the deport and my first thought was ‘They look just like Martin’s!’ Regards, Nick.
  18. Has just been told by his brother that my Volvo is very poorly! Two huge holes in the engine block from the failed cambelt. :-(

      Thats' not poorly, more like terminal! Your wallet has my deepest sympathy.

      But never mind! You just told us that you've got a brand new combine harvester - that'll do for getting to work, surely?!

  19. Why are weekends so short!?

      What Brinkly needs is for this poor benighted country to go back to the early 1970s, when there really was a three-day weekend....

    3. DonB

      DonB

      Or indeed a 3-day week with 4-day weekends, I remember it well! Nightmare trying to operate a process that required 24 continuous production!

    4. Brinkly

      Brinkly

      hahah! Yeah Tim hours and minutes are always a place for confusion! 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, but 24 hours in a day, explain that to a 4 yearold before you even go down the route of 1/4, 1/2 and 1/4 too!

  20. Is preparing to depart for the second of four weekends engagements this month! Perhaps I should become King....

      Depends on what your kingdom is! ;)

  21. Now I've got a brand new Combine Harvester and I'll give you the key!

      Whoa there, Horse - calm down!! I know our Brinkly has been described as a handsome fellow, but I wouldn't go quite so far as to describe him as a 'fine-lookin' woman'...!!

      Well only at DRAG captain! Hahah!

      I aint got fortyyyyyyy acres, just two at the mo. It comes of running 6 miles!

  22. I still find it quite beyond belief how fiddly those kits are, you must have the patiences of a saint! I don't think I could do it! Regards, Nick.
  23. Cracking work Martin!B)(I've also just found your blog, glad I have!) It looks so subtle I’ll have to have a go on a couple of my own oil and milk tankers. Thanks for the example.
  24. Is currently undertaking a stock take whilst watching You Only Live Twice!
