      At least your's make it to the door, ours are dumped at a local garage for a kindly neighbor to drop off. This time its gone one better, Amazon says its with them, they say its with Amazon.

       

      Also you managed to get a hold of them? I just got told by a lovely, and very understanding robot, to contact the main supplier.

      The whole system is designed to avoid accountability when things go down. In that respect, the system works very well!

      Absolutely correct Horsetan!

  7. On a serious note here, would a company selling top quality kits of locomotives that never were make any money?

      It would confuse the hell out of the ruvet counters though!

    3. halfwit

      halfwit

      Some kits are so far removed from the prototype they might as well represent locos that never were...

    4. Captain Kernow

      Captain Kernow

      Serious answer to your question - I doubt it - the concept may well be a bit limited in appeal to the serious kit-builder.

  8. I have an idea for a shunting puzzle, the only question is though; How do you make three peices of stock interesting?

    1. halfwit

      halfwit

      Removeable loads?

    2. JaymzHatstand

      JaymzHatstand

      It could depend on the pieces of stock

  9. 'Death Steam' would also make a rocking band name. 'Guitar strum'

    1. Castle

      Castle

      I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought that! I think the first album should be called 'Beeching'...

  10. Just noticed I have nearly 200 likes, thanks guys thats cheered me up.

    1. halfwit

      halfwit

      When you get to 200 you get a free Parker pen. Or a used Bic, depending on budget constraints.

    2. Horsetan

      Horsetan

      What happened to PaperMate pens - the ones that could write when you were upside-down?

    3. 69843

      Congrats ScR, and all the best for the next 200 and beyond.

      Federer is better.

  12. There is preeching and advising, know which it is you wish to carry out, in my opinion to preech is to often to offer up a messeage that has already been comunicated whilst claiming it to be your own and to the expect those which you told to follow the message. To advise is to offer wisdom based on your own experience in the hope that those whom you advise will heed your warning. But again that is only my opinion

    1. reevesthecat

      reevesthecat

      isn't it preaching not preeching- sorry to preach! mark!!

  13. the importance of power is not simple having or gaining power but using it do, not what is popular, but what is right

    1. Horsetan

      Horsetan

      Not something that you'll find in modern politics.

    2. scots region

      scots region

      I was maeaning in a Broader sense, with any power comes a grave responsibility to act in the best interests of all, even if this means undertaking something that will make you unpopular.

    3. Horsetan

      Horsetan

      Exactly. It's not something you'd find in modern politics. Quod erat demonstrandum.

  14. I'm actually speaking in french, your just seeing the translation

    1. eastwestdivide

  15. with all the probelms, that are so ingrained with the current rail network, would it be better to replace it all with roads. Is it time for the age of the train to end once and for all?

      With all the problems on the road network...

  20. is between a very stuborn rock and a very arrogant hard place

    1. halfwit

      halfwit

      A friend can work in stubborn rock, although a nut or hex is better.

    2. halfwit

      halfwit

      Arrogant hard places are more difficult to protect, sometimes a long run out is the only way.

    3. scots region

      scots region

      Unfortunatly the Stubborn rock and Arrogant hard place are related

  21. typed google into google. Oops

  22. its not the first time I've woken up and not had a full grasp on reality. I once woke up convinced it was 1973 and I was in East Germany on the run from a KGB agent called Plotov!! I was halve way down the road before I twigged.

    1. halfwit
