    RMWeb - can't keep up, can't keep away, can't remember where I've posted or where I read what but by the cringe it's a grand place to be just lately... ;O)

      Here's an update of the last 7 days Rugd1022: Blue = Good, Red = Bad but remember just like Soapland this isn't necessarily representative of real life.

      Simply the best (great photos in the signalling thread, of great use to those who need inspiration)

    Sat on a ballast job at Bushey last night, imaginig mighty Duchesses thrashing past with fifteen on....

      Mighty indeed! Can still remember them. Especially 46231 Duchess of Atholl who gave me a warm shower one sunny evening whilst taking on water at Bletchley.

      You lucky b*gg*r! Old hands I've worked with have described seeing them day in day out to me, jaw dropping stuff. I was born 15 years too late... ;-)

  3. Rugd1022

    Scanning old family photographs from the 50s and 60s... I'd love to go back there and see what life was actually like for my folks.. and West London looked so tidy then!

  4. Rugd1022

    Scooping my jaw off the floor after perusing the astonishing 'Bradfield Glos. Sq.' in the layout section of the forum... how did I miss it?

      Consider my wrist duly slapped Andy! Just about to post some 'fettled' b&w shots the Bradfield thread withJohn's permission ;o)

      It is rather nice Nidge. I was perusing the latest MRJ at Camrail today and think I noticed an article about it in there.

  5. Rugd1022

    Seems I can't post anything on the forum properly except here...!

      It's no wonder he was dead against me joining the railway when I left school...!

      There was a spot between the girders where you could hide and still see the trains when the BTP were clearing the spotters off the embankment.

    4. Rugd1022

      Rugd1022

      I never knew that...!

  7. Rugd1022

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

      beast66606

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

      Some decent citizen hit my car and bu99ered off recently, two days after I had got it back from body repairs following a previous mishap. I know how you feel when it costs you your own insurance claim.

  9. 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)

  10. Rugd1022

    Spent the morning drooling over 1960s Mini Coopers then, I come home to see the Dapol N Gauge 22 and Western on here... life is good ;-)

      wouldnt mind a mk1 austin cooper s one day, pricey nowadays

    2. Rugd1022

      Rugd1022

      Very... some of the other variants are catching up now like the early vans, elfs, hornets, pick-ups etc. Glad I've got my Mk2S now.

       

  11. Rugd1022

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

    1. beast66606

      beast66606

    Sundays are ace... 4936 Kinlet Hall out on the mainline in freshly applied BR livery, roast dinner and a weathering a Hornby Castle... splendid ;o)

  13. Rugd1022

      I earned it chap! I was refused annual leave throughout August as too many were already booked off.... going to enjoy a spot of modelling and (allegedly) some DIY. So I'm told...

  14. Rugd1022

    The 'curse of Colin T Gifford' strikes again... another modelling session decends into a daydreaming freefall of magical distractions in glorious, gritty black and white... here we go again... ;o)

    There's a package waiting for me at our local sorting office, but they're not open till Tuesday...grrr!!

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

      Garry D100

      Thanks.

      And yes it is.

    What is it about under the average under 25s in Oxford who step out into the road right in front you...? The best education money can buy and not an ounce of common sense between 'em!

      You know what they say about common sense. It's not that common.

    3. St. Simon

      St. Simon

      Us school kids don't get lessons in common sense. Maybe that's a reason

  25. Rugd1022

    Worked the first loaded train into Coalville for over twenty years yesterday... pity the place is a shadow of it's former self though ;-)
