I know I have already posted one entry in this thread, on the goings on at the place I work, but here's another one, it's good. The great milk float robbery. The tooling we use, is mounted on aluminium plates, about 50mm think and 600 by 500mm in dimension, and they are a desirable “loot” for metal thieves. Last year, two bright opportunist noticed that the store door had been left open, so decided to help themselves, the problem is that although the items are made from light material, they are quite large and heavy, so they looked around for suitable transport. The works electric milk float was near by and the driver had left the keys in it, so the robbers drove it down to the stores, and loaded it up with plates. The escape route was up a sloping drive, and test have shown that the milk float can reach speeds of 4MPH empty, with a trailing wind. One of our work force, who was driving a fork lift, spotted the milk float trying to make it out the gates so overtook it and blocked its path. The two thieves then jumped off, and ran away, leaving the hand brake off, the milk float rolled backwards at speed all the way down the drive, finally crashing through a roller shutter door. I had to go and report on the event to the powers that be, without bursting out in to laughter. Gary

In my full time job, I have had experience of these so called “metal” thieves, follow the link to find the story of one of who got more than he was expecting. http://www.expressandstar.com/latest/2009/02/24/20ft-roof-fall-in-suspected-factory-raid/ Gary

Hi mark Just to repeat what pete has said, good luck with the move, and perhaps on the way, you will be caught up in a time vortex and sent back to the 1980's, bring on the large logo tractors. Gary

Just sorting the layout ready for Midland Railex, couldn’t resist getting the camera out. A bit of Photoshopery, only multi layer focal shots to get a better depth of field Gary

Mike Just picked up on your post, visited Glenuig in may but on a damp day, I could not be bothered to get the camera out just for a 156 sprinter. Perhaps when the layout has been on the circuit for a few years, I may consider bringing the snapshot time forward to the present day, but for now we will be firmly stuck in the blue era. Well, the photo of the boat, in the “how realistic†section seamed to be well received, so I thought I would give a brief explanation. Model is built from a Artitec kit, available from Langley models. The kit is made to represent a shrimp fisher, but this was not suitable for north west Scotland, so I rigged it as a local day boat trawler. I keep meaning to do a few blogs, so I shall add this little project to the list. Only a week to go until Midland railex, and then a shot brake, and of to the north east, this time, I am not in panic mode, just a few maintenance jobs to do, oh yes, and I have had another go at the signals.

Now, to go and play with a big motor, and where not talking Mashima, lets hope we don't drop it!
