Bon Accord

That would be an ecumenical matter!

Ah, it's a great oul pet for him. He doesn't have to feed it, clean it, or take it to the vet's. Suits him down to the ground!

fed up of BRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICK!!!,

Polish your skills?

Truly a black point in the history of motor racing

Been to the NRM then?

Oh yes, and I'm in for another "please explain" from SWMBO later when she realises I've come back with the LE D11!

That'll be tricky, hide it?

47 years ago almost to the day, I was born.... I didn't go straight into the history books although it was the start of a glorious era indeed.

Does it normally take longer?

Took me eight days to go the other way round, but admittedly that was via the Outer Hebrides...

I used to have a car like that.

What were you in for?

They are rather nice. I stopped at four but feel a couple more coming on in due course.

I didnt know of this thank you. Steve

How "North" is North?

A lot further North than the Casino Club. Keep the faith!

It certainly is. I'm spoilt here in the summer months with everything that passes by on the mainline.

Not too bad, but at the moment my only stock is bogie coaches. Four wheel wagons may prove more of a challenge. I've a Farish A2, some stock and more track in the post and a baseboard will hopefully follow shortly. I'm looking at 6 x 3' with perhaps an extension to 8' if space presents itself. With a board of that size I can have a good run of track (roundy/roundy) and more than adequate siding space.

Those couplings put me off even though the locos and rolling stock seem much improved recently.

I think the attraction is the fact that you can have scale length trains and have a layout that looks more like the real railway. And coaches and diesels are really good quality. When I look at the pictures of the steam engines though i have questions. To be fair I think they look better in the flesh so to speak though.

You should've asked...

Hurry up and make it, so a RTR one is produced!

All other smart phones have one thing in common, they are simply not an iPhone! Can't afford one....

devondynosoar118 hit the nail on the head. In history the iPhone will be remembered as the iPhone and everything else is just that. Everything else...

Auferstanden aus Ruinen....

I didn't realise until the other week that I had "Welcome To The Pleasure Dome" on vinyl - the '80's - if you can remember them - you're doing a lot better than I am (man).

Two Tribes,,,,,,superb bass line.

For some, however the quintessential NBR loco - J37 - is no longer available as a kit. I've spent years looking for one at shows and on ebay and still with no success.

Aye, it's a sair loss.

Kits are the only option, CK. No real problem for the likes of me, but a serious hindrance for the less technically able.

Obtain dungeon, equip with some of histories most gruesome devices, then round up all the culprits! Simples.

I'll bring my hangmans nousce. Satan?

Ok, a side we didn't want to know about Satans goldfish has come through. Suppose he lives up to his name

Lucky, I can't and neither on Saturday

Perhaps they ought to borrow a Stainer hooter?

Nope. Some GW sets are heading your way

Nope. I think one set has been transferred to Scotrail (possibly more).

One set with a couple of power cars and a few coahces came north for staff training ready for the transfer for Scotrail workings.
