  1. Looks like I will go with a Diesel Brake Tender outline for the driving truck to go with my Class 12.

  2. Jerry, I've just seen that you are on the list of layouts at Ally Pally for this year, when I'm up on the Saturday I may have to stop by with some friendly abuse banter Kev
  3. For those who don't think about chloresteral maybe you should. Just been put on Statins due to my numbers (at medium risk of major heart attack) and I'm not even 50 yet.

      Taking statins buggered up my knees, both now have early stage arthritis. Diet changes, cut out the junk and eat healthy ,

      I complained to my GP about muscle cramps and he changed the dosage. That made it a lot better. I'm 71 by the way.

      If you do have to have Statins make sure you get the right type and dose as they can have all sorts of side affects. Do some med research on t'net.

  4. Fun day today, hiding in the workshop re-wiring the Class 12 and prepping all the components of the chassis for painting.

      The weather LOL, and the possibility of back-breaking civil engineering/PWay work

  5. For the love of all that's holy don't issue this challenge to Boris, he doesn't need any more encouragement to create mayhem and shocking mental images.
  6. Some sort of service offered by "Ladies" outside the fish dock gates????????
  7. Is this an appropriate subject matter for a family forum ????

      Tornado is a full size model of an A1...*tin hat, flak jacket*

      I'd agree with that assessment - a full size, working model - with a couple of mods to allow it to run on the 21st century railway.

      with the important bit made by the fr***in' Germans (best scouse accent).

  9. If my Grandad was still alive I could have got more info about this traffic for you guys from him, he worked the slag transporters at the works from de-mob in '46 until they closed. They used an 0-4-0 and an 0-6-0 to haul the slag tubs until about 1965/1966 (he always told me and my brother he drove Thomas the Tank engine), after this time they used a road slag tub tug that was imported from the US.
  10. Mary had a little lamb The Gynecologist had a heart attack
  11. Is it considered unlawful if I take a lump of lead to the scuzz-buckets that keep setting off fireworks and scaring the hell out of my dogs?

  12. The local hospital has something similar for use by the physical therapy and rehabilitation unit.
  13. Jenkins be a good chap and fetch my Purdey, there appears to be some vermin on the estate.

  14. With reference to post 1889, for some reason I can't get quote to work. RMWeb invites take-over by the tin-foil hat brigade????? They are of course the intelligence service of the deodorant-dodging, adenoidal, onanistic regiment LOL
  15. Gregor, repeat the ritual

  16. Personally, I would leave it in the location it is already in, but I don't have as finely tuned a sense of asthetics as your good self.
  17. Great (not), some BE11END is setting off fireworks nearby and now both dogs are barking their heads off. Some ankers certainly deserve to be booted in the dagglies.

      Totally agree - I'd ban 'em except in supervised shows...

      Ditto, where do these sad gits get their money from, I mean the fireworks aren't cheap.

  18. The latest photos are fantastic and really do justice to the mahoosive layout that PN is, I'm currently drooling with jealousy at the space you have to accommodate your magnum opus
  19. Hi Guys, When and where is BCB next appearing in the south (or even south of the Thames)?
  20. Apparently Chinese Hairy Crabs have been found in Scotland, I'm pretty sure if I succumb to the potentail joke possibilities on this matter I'd be in deep brown and smelly with the Mods LOL

  21. I've been close to being lynched a couple of times, by fellow exhibitors, due to us allowing (in fact actively encouraging) younger visitors to operate the controller of the shunting yard at the front of the layout. This is the very reason we designed the layout. The best reaction I did observe was this year at Brighton Modelworld, late on the Sunday afternoon I was in need of a lift of spirits and one of my fellow operators sent through to the shunting zone a pair of bogie bolsters containing a Barbie's leg in place of the normal steel billet load; there was a rather rectal-cranial type nearby who actually swore in front of children and looked like he was about to grab this load off the layout to stamp on it, neadless to say my giggling didn't help his lack of sense of humour.
  22. That's a right tasty bit of PWay work there
  23. I clearly have a wife who understands me, for my birthday she bought me an 8F in BR Black and the British Transport Films collection DVD boxset, I'm a happy bunny
