      There's still about 10 going through the paint shop or awaiting a delivery of transfers, and half a dozen cut'n'shut jobs in planning.

      Genetic engineers say they'll have the dodo back in circulation just after Bachmann retools its Manor

      Are Paddy Power offering odds on this?

  3. Strictly's on. I've put the marzipan on the christmas cake and now retreated to the railway room with a glass of single malt until it's safe to come back out.

  4. Trick or Treat they screamed as they ran across my lawn so I said Trick and switched the sprinkler on.

  5. A day at the hands of Northern Fail and Farce TransPennine has left me wondering why anyone would want to travel by train.

  6. Just spotted a picture of a GWR 6-wheel Toad behind a Midland 2F between Old Hill and Longbridge.

      Where did you see the picture? Most photos I've seen of that line are of pannier tanks on workmen's trains or the last 57xxs at Halesowen in 1966.

      Probably no more than I am. Can't remember seeing much SECR round my patch. Only interesting thing was a coach used as a mess van.

       

  8. My Building Society told me they are cutting my savings interest yet again, so i took some out and ordered a couple of locos.

      That's the one. Will be going to EM North next month to stock up with bits.

  12. Unfortunately my bike ride has been called off due to bad weather, but on the bright side it gives me an extra two hours of modelling time.

  13. Northern Powerhouse My @r$e. Accident on the M62, Huddersfield was gridlocked and a 7-mile queue over Woodhead.

      Sounds more like the 'prosperous' south everyday - where gridlock is a daily event and our new hospital won't have any beds in a bid to save money.

  14. Whilst neighbouring Forces are battling the flood aftermath and scumbag looters, our friendly neighbourhood team has been out in the sun honing its skills on the speed gun.

  21. Window hanging behind a Spam. Ten years old again.

  22. Twice today I had things which didn't look right or were missing on RTR locos. I Googled for help and both times found Coachmann had already been there and done that. Thanks as ever Larry, Hero of the Hobby.

  23. Bah Technological Humbug! If I want to be on a cloud I'll go smoke something.
