  1. Willy Wombat or Willie Wombat?

    1. Sithlord75

      Sithlord75

      Neither - no Aussie would be called Willie (cause that seems to be Scottish spelling) nor would one want to be called Willy (cause them's fighting words).  Maybe Will Wombat but if William, then almost always Bill or Billy is used Down Here.  A Wombat, no matter what their first name, would be known as Dozer or Combat.

  2. Expanded social intercourse from Monday?

      Wouldn't that count as a "public nuisance"?

      Splendid. I take it that the IKEA baseboard department has come up trumps?

      Yes, but in this instance it is a shelf, rather than a table. It is to be used for a USA N scale micro as a diversion from my ongoing 4mm Kingfisher Wharf.

      Top stuff. Sheep Lane was built on a LACK shelf....

      cos you spend too much time looking at 'models'....that's why I couldn't look at RMWeb at work as the wrong sort of 'models' kept appearing in the ads.

  6. Is the RMweb help guide on sending PMs readily available?

      "I was being sarcastic"

       

      Well, that was sooo obvious. :rolleyes:

       

      There really should be an emoji for sarcasm. Why isn't there one already? :rolleyes:

       

      It would save people wasting their time.

    1. Hroth

      "Over by Christmas" is a claim trotted out for every Big Thing, I'm surprised people actually still use the expression.

      Don't go anywhere near Margate or Barwell.  There are angry crowds roaming without social distancing, with placards like BLACK ENGINES MATTER

      Have decided to build a layout with no trains

      That is quite prototypical. Just make it a Sunday in winter on a branch line.
