After 10 years of inactivity, D8017 (Hornby Dublo) class 20 rides again. There's a lot to be said for 1960s mechanisms!
-
Car dying - fitted a new Lambda sensor, but problem still persists. Will try the HT leads for source of the poor running and misfires.
-
Just done an oil flush and change, filter change and coolant drain and change on my car, all in under an hour on my drive. Who says car maintenance is difficult?
-
Managed to clean a hole into the wing of my car. It was secretly rusting through from the other side. 1:1 modelling will be needed to repair it.
-
Feeling really accomplished after making new handrails for a class 25 out of scrap brass wire. Looks so much better than the plastic originals!

Yes why did Bacchy do that? Detailing is a mine field - see http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/96945-detailing-Bachmann-class-25s/ - as others have said, a slippery slope!
-
An unexpectedly warm day. Totally smashed on wine and enjoying trains running in the garden. Perfect!
-
It's my birthday, and my wedding anniversary today! I treated myself to a Hornby Schools class.
-
Just heard of Terry Pratchett's death. Sad news.
-
Middle lane owner's club out in force on the M60 causing traffic misery for everyone else. When are the Police going to enfoce not hogging the middle lane?
-
Just assembled the best type of locomotive - a dirt cheap one out of bits from the scrap box. Bachmann class 24 5087 in BR blue rides again!
-
Spending too much time on Ebay because I'm off work ill. Just bought the Bachmann N class set with the southern and SECR liveried locos, along with some clothes (not from the same seller). It's only money....
-
Viral inner ear infection that means I cannot drive for several weeks because of dizziness. You don't realise how useful a car is until you can't use it.
-
I was going to buy the Railway Children Bachmann set, but instead my car decided to seize two calipers and cost me
-
Buying a bottle of wine then dropping it in the supermarket and smashing it within five minutes flat set the tone of today. Bah!
-
Got back today from the Rainbow list shindig on a rooftop terrace overlooking St Paul's in London. The free bar was very well receivd, and lots of people with secret interests in model railways too.
-
Nearly three years from laying track just found an electrofrog point that had yet to have the microswitch for the frog wired up. How could I have missed that?
-
Just replaced the innards of my shed computer out of spares. If I had known this motherboard and processor were so fast I'd have done this months ago.
-
Just bought a Heljan Ribble Cement class 17 at a price I couldn't refuse. After a few minor repairs to reattach the buffers it is running in the sunshine with some Bachmann Presflos.
-
Back online after having had to rebuild this computer. All thanks to a faulty CPU fan. On the plus side, my spare processor turned out to be 25% faster clock speed.
-
Just caught the magic smoke escaping from my Bachmann N class. Need to source a replacement motor for it.
-
A satisfactory 5 minutes' work with a file and a track twist that was derailing 3 out of 4 of my locos on the garden section is no more.
-
Just noticed that both trains on my garden layout have returned into the shed soaking wet - I hadn't noticed the torrential downpour outside!
-
The perils of a garden railway - the birds have managed a direct hit with their personal deposit on a Maunsell brake.
-
Just tested my British Seagull outboard in a wheelie bin full of water. Still runs after four years in storage. All ready for a season on the water!
-
Car MOT Tuesday. Nothing id worse than waiting for your car to go through its test. Even the Dentist is preferential. What expensive news will this year bring?
