    Just finished erecting a flagpole in the garden. A Union flag has been raised, but I need to source one more durable than a souvineer from a museum.

    Garden railways are fun. 50 wagon train going one way and 13 coach train going the other snaking through the conifers. I have a tia-maria and cointreau. Lovely.

      Can't beat it! P wagons in G scale might be a bit tough for me though - I have 23....

      I know exactly what you mean Built my first 00 line in the 70s, then found G scale, with which I continued for 30 odd years!! (I am now in the shed though!!)

    Just finished a cheer-a-thon of five cheerleading films in a row. I have learnt from these that all the hot cheerleaders in California drive VW Beetle convertables.

      This IS useful info that we all NEED to know.

    Just bought two Bachmann shunters wagons and a Horby SPV van. Feeling buyer's remorse now, as I've bought far too much this last month.

      Barbed wire and electric fence following your luck this year???? Hope it all goes well for you. Good luck.

      May have been better if you had bought A Western rather than just Western?

       

  18. Jenny Emily

    If I have to explain the difference between a toy and a model to the insurance company one more time I'll scream. These people make Vogons seem helpful.

    Recovered models now returned complete with Police issue weathering in the form of fingerprint powder! It's some cleaning job

      Fantastic! (Except for the fingerprint dusting powder.)

      Pity they don't use weathering powder to dust for fingerprints... could have saved you a job!

      Thats fantastic news :D

       

      Just out of interest how have they managed to recover your models without the culprits?

  20. Jenny Emily

    Still not seen my recovered models - wondering how long the Police will take to dust for prints?

      Agesw - also if the get a prosecution they may retain them for evidence until the case is heard. sorry!

    3. Guest

      Guest

      They're recovered. that's the main thing. And if in taking their time, they catch the scumbags who did this, wouldn't the wait be worth it?

    4. EvilNoodle

      EvilNoodle

      I suspect they will try to keep hold of them until the case goes to court to produce them for evidence. Although I'm not an expert on their procedures. I would contact them and ask them if you can come and collect them ASAP adding that you'd more than happily produce photos or bring the models to court if needed.

       

      I think you may have to contact them several times before getting anywhere...

  21. Jenny Emily

    The Police have phoned to say they have got fingerprints off the items the thieves dropped so hopefully they will match known local scum.

      I hope at least some of your stock is recovered. Robbery is a horrible thing to deal with. Getting 1:1 replacements is not the same, as they are not 'your' loco's. Good luck Jenny.

       

      Maybe a post in the thefts section with details on what to look for may help.
