Morning Mike, looks like Dent is having the same sort of input as I had on Bitton and now as you say you have something else to add to Dent's authenticity and general appearance. Pics of the rods on Sat then? hahha Cheers, Bodge.

Hi Ian, yes we did say many Months ago that if i could make it we would meet up, sorry but maybe at The Great Electric Train show or somewhere if we can both get to another this year. All the best. Bodge

SORRY Mike, didn't mean to tick the AGREE box, ahahhhah Bodge

Evening Mike, Now you can also emulate the rust on the back of the Signal, hahha

Well done for the next issue of BRM Adrian, I am really looking forward to that, brilliant news. Bodge.

Hi Both, some really great pics from the show, I normally take a couple of hundred at a Show but I only took about 20 decent shots all day I think. I don't know if it was me not in the mood, or me just not feeling myself, (not in the rude way), hhahahha SORRY. Bodge

Hi Jason, all well deserved praise, glad to see the kits, and the Loco loos different as well. Looking forward to seeing the EM challenge mate. Bodge.

Thanks Guys, It was the new Royal Derby Hospital at Mickelover, and all went to plan, really caring staff, the Surgeon said as I went into Theater; I promise I wont hurt you, followed by; that's because my assistant is doing it, haahha. I cant drive for 48 hours? for some reason and have to take it easy till Wednesday Morning, but that's when the Potting Shed arrives all being well, so I should be fit to make a start on that by Thursday. Layout should be up and running by Saturday, hahhaha Didn't say which one though, hahahah Bodge.

Hi Joseph, now I'm looking forward to seeing this come alive, I really should have called Bitton, Willsbridge due to the buildings not being 100% accurate to begin with but I may change them at some stage to be a little more accurate. You have a nice area and I feel the extra Lay By siding will help give more interest to the up line workings, a nice Farrish 4F with a short freight held whilst the Black 5 or Std 4 comes by with the Pines. Good luck mate and I hope it goes well for you. Bodge.

Were you really that bad? hahhahha Bodge

I dunow, you wait for days for a photo and then all of a sudden a whole load come along.. Absolutely fantastic Mike, More tomorrow?hhahaa Bodge

Hi Simon, sorry BUT I had to look in, its going to be great to get yet another take on a great theme and in EM as well, that's mighty impressive for a first proper layout so will have yet another thread to add to my Follow List. All the best and enjoy the Lunesters. Bodge

Not much done today, but I've had a good rest after yesterday, and I have a Hospital appointment tomorrow all day at Derby Hospital for some injection treatment for my Hip and Knee problems. Bodge

Thanks Adrian, Sorry I just hit the Craftsman button by mistake, hahah. I will PM you when I can remember what it was, hahah Bodge.

Your right mate, I need another Show and soon, I need a fix, hahhah Great day, Great company and a special thanks to you, Mike and Big John for looking after me all day and telling me to slow down, take it easy and have a rest. Cheers mate. Bodge.

Cheers Jock, I wasn't my normal self, whatever that is? but yes it was good to get out to a Show again and meet old and new friends. Pity you couldn't be there, that would have been good, but you need to recover properly first, so maybe next year. Bodge.

I should have gone to Specsavers on my way to the show, instead of getting a Hot Dog, hahha Bodge.

Mike, I had a Bodgit Badge on made by George T plus my RM Web badge from the RM Web Stafford Show from a couple of years ago, and using my camera tripod as a walking stick. I should have worn the Pink High Heels that I told Jaz I would wear so she would see me, hahha Bodge.

Do I take it that we have ANOTHER JOCK? Bodge

Morning Mike, I loved the pics from the other day, but where's today's inspiration, I'll pop back tonight, hahhaha All the best mate. Bodge.

Hi mate, glad you had a nice day and met Jason etc, and hopefully not spent a fortune. Next question is of course, when are you ripping up the track on Dent and going EM? hhahahhaaaaaa Bodge

I'm only here for the coffee and biscuit Bodge.

My only purchase of the day, apart from a coffee was this sign in Aluminum. Bodge

Cheers Jaz, great to see you and Kal as well, there were so many that we talk to that its difficult to recall them all but here goes. we met up with Neil, (Anotheran) Andy G, (aux6)?, thanks for the disc Andy, Adrian, (Westerhamstation), Nestor, Ray H, also Ray Norwood, and Richard, (Mudmagnet) both up from Barnstaple. Hugh Flynn, Nick Wood, (NickWood) Pete Harvey, Ian Mellors, plus many others that came up and greeted us. Thanks also to you all for your kind wishes, I had a cracking day out, and meeting such brilliant modellers really does inspire one. Apparently Mike, (Stationmaster ) was there and I missed him, I would have liked to have had a chat with him as well. Bodge.

Hi Adrian, sorry we didn't get a proper chat as there were some questions I had for you, I'll just re read your Westerham Station thread for the answers now, ahhah. All the best, and I hope you didn't spend a fortune. Bodge
