      Never a frown, with Golden Brown

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

      I don't think asking D1047 will help... ;)

      I suppose once you got to the Warships you sank into a deep sleep.

    Conducting HSTs over the Chiltern this week, chocks away ;o)

      Nice little number!

    Merry Christmas all, sun's shining here, lovely jubbly ;-)

    Melly - the 'Reading diversion' thingy is in the Prototype Questions' section ;-)

    Cable theft and shopping trolleys on the line at Coalville last night... another late finish this morning then!

      Brave Copper Fairies about going out in this weather!!

    Minus 8 degrees at Mountsorrel last night, the loco's screw coupling froze and we had to pout hot tea on it so we could tighten it up!

      Sacrificing tea is above and beyond the call of duty!

      Such a waste!

      better to drink the tea and let nature take its course :¬O

  9. Rugd1022

    On 'frost precautions' tonight... which can only mean lot's of tea to be drunk ;-)

      Brrrr!!!!

    Signed the road round the Greenford Loop last night, another bit of the GWR in the bag!

      Never mind, you will soon get chance to run on a decent bit of railway ! :P (well done)

      beast66606

      Ouch, hope it's not too bad

  12. Rugd1022

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

  13. Rugd1022

    Just watched 'Robbery' with D318, Stanley Baker and some fabulous 60s motors... ah, simple pleasures ;o)

  14. Rugd1022

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

  15. Rugd1022

    Don't be shy Beast, post away... ;-)

    1. beast66606

      beast66606

      Will do - later, I have permission to post them all so no problem doing so, just got to remove the chaff and renumber them

  16. Rugd1022

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

  17. Rugd1022

    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!

    3. Pixie

      Pixie

      I still have that Grange Nidge... ;)

  18. Rugd1022

    On my favourite job all this week, 6M22 and 6M80 Oxford-Stud Farm empties...put the kettle on!

  19. 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.

  20. 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!

  21. Rugd1022

    doubled headed Manors in the dark on the SVR last night... magical! Was it really this good back in BR days...?

    1. 46444

      46444

      Sounds fantatstic. Wish I could have witnessed it myself.

  22. Rugd1022

    started scanning some 40s50s and 60s shots around Rugby, there's loads of 'em... I'm going in!

    1. beast66606

      beast66606

      signalling ? - not more train shots ? :P

      Looking forward to seeing some of those Nidge..

  23. Rugd1022

    I've got nine days off work... wonder if I'll actually manage to get any modelling done...?

    1. big T

      big T

      flippin eck! wish i was a railwayman he he!!

  24. Rugd1022

    spent an enjoyable afternoon soaking up the vibes on the North Warks line, before the last semaphores disappear in a couple of weeks time ;o)

  25. Rugd1022

    dangerously tempted by the lovely G Scale 78xx Manor I've just seen in the modelshop near Princes Risborough station... make it stop!!
