    Have a great Yorkshire  Day!

      Every day's great here in Yorkshire. You have to feel sorry for all of them as hasn't been born or lived here in God's own county.

      Well I’m a part time resident of Yorkshire, and I thoroughly enjoy spending time in God’s own county. Same to you both!

      I must start building railbuses ... I must start building railbuses ...

       

      Seriously though, I've actually got a few in the pipeline - at the computer drawing stage for all the panel overlays etc - with every expectation of progress, when I get some usable free time. I've also been doing some "proof of concept" tests on how best to address some expected issues with these builds.

       

      However, I wonder how many people round here will be convinced until I've got something I can post on a site like this one.

       

      By the way, I fully understand any constraints of space, time etc being experienced by various people here.

      And the ones your mother gives you don't do anything at all...

      Rabbits can be very fierce.. never ever try to pinch or punch one....

      Especially if they're called General Woundwort.....

    WHITE RABBITS! Keep your social distancing correct..no pinching or punchong!

    1. Hroth

      Hroth

      Punchong?  :jester:

       

      Never mind, I've got a nearly 2M long litter picker, so at arms length I can administer socially-distanced pinches and prods with it....

       

      July already?  Definitely The Year That Never Was!

      It's the "flick, kick for being so quick" is what I'm missing most.

    WHITE RABBITS.... no pinch or punch as we are self isolating..

      But I've got a Nerf pistol that I keep for discouraging squirrels from using the bird table.  At SD range, it'll only sting a bit....

       

      A *ping* for the first of the month!

       

      And so into May!  :jester:

       

  15. Barry O

    why do people fill tenders with off cut bits of lead, filler, Bachmann weights and then expect a dcc chip to still fit in there?? Pah.. the dremel will win!

    A First for Leeds MRS CIO?  A layout presentation from Australia.. to the Leeds MRS CIO. isn't technology wonderful!!

    a week in Robin Hoods Bay with lovely friends and great weather has been enjoyed. Now for the diet to remove the excess food intake!

      Yes, get it off so you can put it back on in four weekends' time.

  18. Barry O

    apologies for my many typos at the moment.. the damp weather has affected my finger joints plus pudgy fingers plus phone/tablet keyboards are a recipe for misspelling

      I blame the touchscreens. Spawn of the devil. I won't give them house room.

    2. The Stationmaster

      Sorry to hear that Baz but hopefully you'll benefit from the upcoming hot weather we are promised (or maybe you won't get it?).  And I agree re touch screens - awful things and probably only invented to save money rather than deliver benefits to their users - and the biggest reason why I wouldn't buy an iPad.

    3. St Enodoc

      St Enodoc

      Touchscreens are the main reason I don't have a smartphone.

      The tiger came for tea on New Year's Day, but didn't want any beer. He's on this dry January stunt....

      Best wishes Barry,

       

      Afraid that I was (am) full of that stinking cold that's going around Yorkshire at the moment but did manage my Chrissy dinner before disappearing off into the land of nod.

      Hope that you're trip in the New Year goes well. Enjoy.

       

      Regards,

      Ian.

    Sad day today. JET the fusion research tokomak finishes its roll today. A great place to work at and a great place to meet and work with like minded engineers.

      while I worked in a European project the UK won a court case at the ECJ (the one everyone hates) to stop the UK team members being paid Euratom wages....

      Where I live, the Tory MP has said this is going to be the saviour of our area...thousands of jobs etc!

      A sad day indeed. One of my last jobs at Culham was dismantling DITE. We all got made redundant not long after.

    Sad White Rabbits as we say goodbye to a long time supporter of our Model Railway Society.

     

    Go in peace Beryl.

    Socially distanced WHITE RABBITS.....

      Hroth

      And into the second half of the year.

      Downhill all the way from now, shops will be preparing their Christmas displays.

       

       

      Anyhow, I thought that for rabbits of any colour, a social distance is more or less physical contact....
