  1. Where the blazes is the 2022 wish list poll?

    No link, no pop up, the search is as baffled as I am. The thread has been closed to further comments too. I'm off to bed.

      Thanks! Thats what I posted, but I think RM web was having a hissy fit this morning...

       

      I've amended it, if only for sanitys* sake!

       

      * But there ain't no Sanity Clause....

      It took me ages, (ok, nearly 3 full minutes), to find the tiny little "here" hidden in the middle of a long paragraph. Already voted - DMUs 100,123, 124 and some PW stuff.

      Kev.

      Hi Shaun,

      Really funny you should mention Petite Properties....just finished building this today !  (a future delivery for the Pub)

      Thanks for the heads up,  I've a number of their excellent starter kits,  perfect for scratch-bashing structures & details.

      They have a selection of 1/76 kits as well that might be of use ?

      Cheers,

      Felix

      P.S.  Coming down in buckets here on the coast :)   Soaking wet all weekend =  time for trains !

      Hi Felix. That is a great model idea. Just love that!

      I spotted their church kit on a small layout watching Youtube this morning. It's already top of my Christmas wish list🤭

      Raining hard here too, so I've been getting into loco building. An ex-Midland 2-4-0 from a Ratio kit, with tons of extra detailing.

      There's nothing like a bit of modeling to calm yourself. It's not been a good week.

       

  3. Rescued a beautiful cat from a tree this morning and as a way of thanks got sprayed.🤣

  4. Tea and cookies.

  5. is confused because now all the leaves have started falling, the leaf blowers seem to have disappeared...

    1. Porcy Mane

      Porcy Mane

      Are leaf blowers a branch of the tree huggers?

    2. Kylestrome

      You've got me stumped.

  6. Botulism? Where the hell, did we get botulism from.

    1. The Stationmaster

      The Stationmaster

      Depends very much on where and what you have been eating - hope that it isn't affecting you badly.  Don't forget that it is a notifiable disease in the UK

      Mrs. S. thinks it might have been some home canned plums. She definitely has it worse. I felt fine yesterday, better than Tuesday's 100.9 fever. If it is Botulism we might make it onto the world incident map. Lets just hope that's not my "10 minutes of fame".🙄   

  7. It's great to be back. It can get a bit lonely out in the woods especially with all these killer virus variants knocking about.

  8. Just discovered there's a Glamrock genre on Spotify. Where's my Lionel Blairs.

  9. Anything between 4" and 100" of snow forecast for our region over the next week depending on elevation.

    Prepare for traffic problems they said. (Interstate 5 was a bumper-to-bumper nightmare in this afternoon's deluge) So looks like we're just gonna have to "Hunker down" for Christmas.

     

    1. Hroth

      Hroth

      Just the usual cold thin Christmas drizzle predicted for here. Keep warm, keep safe and have a good'un!

       

    2. peach james

      It's the same sort of predictions for here...some to much snow, depending on elevation.  It rained a lot this AM (~0500), and there were chunks in the rain at 125m/400' ASL

       

    3. Sasquatch

      We had 4-5 inches last week and it was chucking it down during the night. There's plenty of snow above 3000' and I read somewhere Lassen National Park is expecting over 8 feet. We need some snow pack, bring it on I say!

  10. Einstein's big bang theory is in question now that we know that time doesn't exist and it's just in our heads.

    So is there any rush with getting the layout finished or not....

      The only thing in my wife’s head is fluff. Which might explicitly her problems with time.

      Its bad enough trying to remember to rewind my watch....

       

  11. Having had a couple of real Belgian ales my head is full of questions. 

    Like why are there still people driving about with huge Trump flags on their jeeps???

    Why do I have all the symptoms of long Covid but haven't actually had it??? 

    ...and why do we have 2 gay cats.

    1. Mallard60022

      Mallard60022

      Trump Flags on Jeeps = losers and or target Practice objects.

      Symptoms of Long C and you probably have had it or another Virus and not actually realised; how do I know this?

      Gay cats are the real thing now. Purrfect companions as always loving and kind. Just let them have

      PInk Leather Collars and don't tell them about Dusty Hill RIP.

      Take care.

      Or, we could not bother extending stereotypes which are ridiculous when applied to humans to other species as well. Everyone, whether human, feline, canine, bovine, or something else entirely, deserves better than that.

  12. I've always considered myself a bit of a hard nut but software really does my head in sometimes.

  13. Having looked at eBay this evening I estimate that there must be over 10,000 quids worth of empty boxes in my attic!

    1. Hroth

      Hroth

      But they've got to be the right empty box!

       

      ( "L@@K! RARE!!!" for example...)

       

    2. truffy

      truffy

      It's not the rarity of the box that fetches the high bids, but the rarity of the air within.

  14. Before indulging anymore in my wife's homemade rum truffles I'd better hit the sack before I explode!

    1. Hroth

      Hroth

      Surely the quantity of rum in a quantity of homemade rum truffles should induce drowsiness?

       

      Eventually?

       

       

       

      After agumentativeness and singing?

  15. The carpet monster has officially driven me insane with its insatiable appetite for 4mm scale buffer shanks.

    Luckily I have a supply of spare Cambrian coupling mounts so will procure another bottled ale from the cooler and slice a pair of replacements.

      You should try Lego bricks hidden in carpet!

      I did get rid of the carpet and put in nice hickory flooring. SWMBO went and brought a rug (you know what women are like for soft furnishings) Needless to say, the carpet monster is getting it's own back!

      What is truly bothering me is that the content of  pop up ads on here correspond with that which my wife browses on her phone.  

    4. Hroth

      I had adblock whitelist RMweb to support the site, I've turned the whitelisting off to cut down the irritation.

  17. .. is postponing morning routines for another 24 hours during the bog roll crisis.  

  18. Keep calm and do some modeling.

  19. HERE'S TO WISHING EVERYONE ONE AND THEIR FAMILIES a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS

  20. Why the hell are there ads for hideous women's ankle boots on my threads! Mrs. S is getting a grass gun for Christmas, she wouldn't be seen dead in those ugly monstrosities!

     

    1. Hroth

      Hroth

      The ad server is getting loopy again.  "Mining Intelligence", gym equipment and "tinfoil hat" wallets are what I'm getting at present...

    2. St Enodoc

      St Enodoc

      Ankle boots for hideous women or hideous boots for women's ankles... or both?

    3. Adrian Stevenson

      I am getting ads for "fancy dress" outfits. Mainly girly stockings and suspenders... I wouldn't mind but they don't stock my size....

  21. has been spotted again, this time making off with a gallon of salty caramel peanut ice cream and a rather large spoon.

  22. has been a complete anorak this evening. I cooked myself a full roast chicken dinner with all the trimmings and binge watched "The Richard J. Willis Collection" on prime. Nice!

  23. That's blown it. Mrs. S. has discovered there's a mini fridge in the garage!

      I did tell her about the super glue to which she replied I didn't know IPA was a glue and proceeded to help herself.

      For a number of years, I worked in a university, as an instrumentation technician.

       

      A major part of this job was fitting, wiring and setting up strain gauges. (I enjoyed the wiring bit ...) It was accepted practice to keep superglue in a fridge - as the bond strength was a critical aspect of gauging.

       

      As for "IPA", I was led to believe this was short for "Iso Propyl Alcohol" - which definitely wasn't kept in the fridge - and I doubt if anybody would have been stupid enough to want to drink the stuff.

       

      Of course, I could be talking about the wrong sort of IPA ... .

      This is where indiscriminate use of acronyms can cause problems....

  24. ...has a theory  that the universe will one day come down to two black holes which will collide in a final big bang. Question is will the layout get finished first?
