    Well that's it! 40 years worth of mags to be taken to the recycle centre, 3 car loads at least!

      Last time we moved house I cleared out six archive boxes of old mags, papers, press cuttings etc. and a Transit van full of general junk.

      Steve, brakes probably neat end of useful life, as are front and rear mechs and shifters. Frame??

      BonB, I had that thought as well, probably a well-balanced fleet of around 20.

      Decided going to the workroom and doing some modelling was a much better alternative. Having seen 3 minutes of it on the news channel this morning I think it was a good decision.

      I hate it when I have to drive through Didsbury at night. There seem to be so many joggers and cyclists without lights, both lots dressed in black.

      Geoff's Flickr site is a real goldmine for transport pictures. The Peter Shoesmith album has about 250 old railway shots back to about 1947

      Those locos were regulars on the morning train from Gloucester. Best thing they had for the job after the 2Ps went and before they got some Standard 5s.

      I spend several times as much on mountain biking as on railway modelling.
