    "No fight" says Mancini. Looked a bit of a scrap to me.

      Apparently it was "not a fight". I make that 99 chances left... ho ho

      I find that the little cross in the top right hand corner is the best solution ;-)

      Other alternative should be considered, like the nearest skip!

    11.46 LLJ to HHD not loco-hauled. Disappointing.

    All these years and development on from Mr Babbage's Difference Engine yet when we type an inverted comma the software thinks we mean ’ or ‘

      I bet Babbage also discovered the worlds first error message.

      That's the great thing about text encoding standards - there's so many to choose from.

    Always find 'Anonymous user' a bit creepy. Just slipped in around the back, hiding behind the sofa and just keeping an eye on things. Shudder . . .

    Amazing number of Minitrix locos on ebay and they all have bids on them. Unbelievable!

      The several I once owned before selling my N gauge stuff were superb runners. If anyone is buying them for 009 chassis I'd say they know exactly what they're doing.

    4. DavidLong

      DavidLong

      009 may be a plausible explanation.

    BBC Weather showed 50% chance of drizzle by 10.00. Well they were half right in the sense of a 50% chance of no drizzle. We dream of drizzle . . .

    Been on Chiltern's Mainline loco-hauled. Wow! Civilised way to travel.

      Phil Copleston

      Ahhh yes, travel on the Great Western/Great Central Joint... t'was always a civilised route! (Interesting background here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiltern_Main_Line)

      That's Mainline loco-hauled as in:http://www.flickr.com/photos/ukrailways/6713678071/

    Cross Country. Bournemouth-Manchester. 4 car Voyager. 25% 1st Class. Seat reservations not working. Not a recipe for a great customer experience.

      So it's pretty safe to assume that you'd have been happier with a West Country pacific working to Oxford, and a Hall taking the rake of 10 Mark 1s forward?... ;-)

    3. DavidLong

      DavidLong

      Got it in one, CK :-)

      (Although the Hall may have got some funny looks at London Road)

      But hey, at least you made up good time after Stoke, thanks to the plucky North Staffs New L 0-6-2T they put on as far as Macc ;-)

      Ahhh... so you decided to bash the Southern shelfish in the end! Would that be the SER or Brighton line, Sir?
