    Everytime I drive past one of these new fangled wind turbines, I feel a strange urge to by a very big Airfix Spitfire kit... ;-)

      I want an axe a very big axe.

      Mick, do you want to chop up James May (entirely understandable of course although the other two should get it first) or a wind turbine? In which case an axe would be somewhat unsuitable.

    Far away is close at hand in images of elsewhere...

    Finally bought a Hornby Castle, now for the fun part.... the research!

      When you've decided on the Castle give me a shout.

      Which one have you bought ?

  4. Rugd1022

    Found my mojo but got no models to do... must rectify the situation ;-)

    Getting all misty eyed looking at Brian Daniels' early HST photos... by crikey , didn't that original livery look the dog's danglies...!

      It was striking and eye catching to the eyes of an 8 year old the first time he saw one... but the eyes turned misty with moisture when the 55s started to disappear as a result.

  6. Rugd1022

    Getting distracted by thoughts of green Deltics, 40s, Peaks and 'Generator' Brush Type 4s... here we go again! Be gone eveil thoughts, be gone...

      All seems perfectly normal and admirable to me :-)

      But a two-tone Rat would be nice as wll.

    Glorious Maybachs beckon on the SVR tomorrow, I can feel the tingles already... are we there yet Dad...?

    1. Horsetan

      Horsetan

      Wonder what the value of a used Maybach 57 is....?

    Golden brown, texture like sun...had this one swirling round inside my head all day ;o)

      Golden brown? Maybe you could borrow some of that polish Pennine is advertising.

      Never quiet got my head around this lovely song by the STRANGLERS!

  9. Rugd1022

    Got a whole week off.... time for some modelling at last ;o)

  10. Rugd1022

    Goy my old Rover P6 back on the road at last! Sounds like a Warship on idle ;o)

    1. Horsetan

      Horsetan

      Congrats. P6s are not often seen now, so another one back on the road will be great. One of the P6 prototypes, the Talago, sold at auction recently for £18k!

  11. Rugd1022

    Had a 'disagree' on one of my posts where I answered a question about livery time frames giving references to factual / photographic evidence... I wonder what that was about? !!!

      It's usually dyslexic fingers as some people tell me how they know guard duties better than me!!

      Usually a 'double bluff' in my case....

  12. Rugd1022

    Had a cab ride into Paddington today for the first time since 1985... a very strange feeling...!

  13. Rugd1022

    Has the RMWeb 'marketplace' for selling models etc disappeared..? Was hoping to avoid ebay by selling what's left of my collection on here...

      I always did better with my sales on here ten years back than on eBay.

      Shame it’s not an option now especially when I have stuff to offload.

    3. The Stationmaster

      The Stationmaster

      A little bird whispered in my ear a while back that something of the kind is being considered for the future. Accordingly I am happy to wait as i don't like Ebay and Amazon has its difficulties with postage charges etc.

    4. gridwatcher

      It was great when it was private individuals selling stuff to like minded people. Then the professional sellers/shops came in and it was wrecked. Either back to original format or don't bother

       

  14. Rugd1022

    Hasn't she just Dave...!

  15. Rugd1022

    Here's a thought... I wonder if there's an RMWeb at the end of the universe...?

    1. marc smith

      marc smith

      Well, if there's a restaurant car there ;)

      Any chance of some pics in a topic Nidge?

    2. Rugd1022

      Rugd1022

      Will try and grab some decent ones tomorrow in daylight... not sure where to load 'em up though!

  18. Rugd1022

    It's all doom and gloom at work, almost putting me off railways altogether... thank 'eavens for RMWeb, an oasis in the mire.

      Big cloud looming over us at the moment, brought about by pig headed attitude from 'the fifth floor'!

    3. CovDriver

      Sounds exactly like our lot after the new Ops director has joined us I'm looking for something else railway related now

      Gone are the days when a job on the railway was 'a job for life'... ;-(

    Ivatt 43048 finished at last... time to buy another loco!

    1. Chris Nevard

      Chris Nevard

      I don't think you can ever have too many of those. It is a steamer and not an HST?

    2. 46444

      46444

      Certainly can't. One of my favourites too!

      I still have that Grange Nidge... ;)

  21. Rugd1022

    Jags, Jags and yet more Jags at every turn at the NEC today... giving me that same warm tingly feeling that Westerns do when seen 'in the flesh'. Let the cravings commence ;-)

      Overtook an E type on the M5 this week. I know exactly what you mean Nidge.

    4. Rugd1022

      Rugd1022

      You overtook an E-Type..? Not very sporting of you old chap...!

  22. Rugd1022

    Job caped tomorrow, at last a proper lie in...! Shall I clean the car I wonder...?

    1. Trainshed Terry

      If you clean the car it will rain with volcanic ash.

    Just found some Cuneo prints hiding in the wardrobe!

      Andy Y

      Any mice in there?

    2. Rugd1022

      Rugd1022

      Yup! Haven't found them all yet though. Thinking of framing the Royal Albert Bridge print and utting it above the fireplace... proper job!

  25. Rugd1022

    Just got back from the GCR 'Eastern Region' gala... feel a sudden urge to purchase black steam locos that have numbers starting with '6'... make it stop!

    1. wiggoforgold

      wiggoforgold

      Sounds perfectly healthy to me. I think you should be more worried if you don't have that urge.
