    The way this match is going I wouldn't be surprised if it's still 0-0 after penalties.

      It says volumes about Greece that they struggled to get that equaliser against 10 Costa Ricans...

    Three great days MTB in The Dales topped off by a steam trip to Bolton Abbey. Good weekend.

    What is "Modern Image"? When I had my first 00 layout the last BR Standard 2-6-4T was only a year old, so what I now model must have been "Modern Image" then.

      Unfortunately manufacturers seem to be stuck in a rut when it comes to 'Modern image' with anything diesel or electric powered. The era system is also ripe for adding era ten, as era 9 is getting on a bit and EWS becomming DB Schenker is a far bigger change than Br pre-TOPS to post TOPS blue.

      Modern Image belongs in Room 101. See http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/78719-modern-image-is-the-phrase-outdated/#entry1228567

    I expect the Thought Police will want to airbrush Guy Gibson's dog out of the Dam Busters film next. No chance of seeing it uncut on the Beeb now.

      I thought that They had renamed the poor pup in most of the recent dramatisations any way.

    I thought Dove holes looked almost attractive today, then decided it was probably the result of that extra pint of Doom Bar

      Without wishing to upset any Dove Holians............such a thought must have been fuelled by copious amounts of ale!

      There's a big hole or two in both places. Can't see much more similarity

    Enjoying getting paid for studying railway maps and timetables.

  8. TheSignalEngineer

    OMG! I am being head-hunted, Minus - interferes with modelling time. Plus - increased modelling budget.

      Note to self - tidying is bad. It leads to an inability ot have pleasurable finds such as this.

    Just had one of those annoying instances when someone used the disagree button on my post but doesn't say why he thinks I'm wrong

      I think the point at issue BoD is that some people don't even know they've done it? Feel free to disagree....

    4. Bon Accord

      Perhaps you should only be permitted to disagree if you submit a post to the thread concerned explaining why.

    Five days of trying to keep up by rural internet connection. Not good for the wellbeing.

    Everyone thinks they have a right to be heard, but only those who have cast aside their ignorance have anything worthwhile to say.

      How's the forum going to work if we all keep schumm?

  14. TheSignalEngineer

    Why, when were are in the middle of trying to have a reasoned discussion, do two people have to start a personal and private slanging match in mid-thread?

      Oh no it isn't I can't believe you said that, I am so mortally offended I'm going to go and sulk for a month.

    Would like to go to Peterborough but don't know if I can put up with 3 hours by class 158 each way. Must check alternatives.

    One Bachmann Mk1 roof de-ribbed and repainted. Trouble is it makes the other 5 look as if they need doing to match.

      A certain outcome - so much better without the "ribs" resistance of course is futile

  17. TheSignalEngineer

    seem to have mislaid a Conflat and a cattle wagon. Don't think I can blame the Carpet Fairy this time.

    Wish I could reconcile the likes list and the needs list.

      In the modelling world unfortunately not.

    Thanks Cross Country for rescuing me from a week of Rural Broadband

      mine always tends to bring mine on a saturday when everyone is in and then questions get asked, through the week I can grab them and stash them :)

    3. TheSignalEngineer

      He'll probably bring the next one tomorrow while I'm at the sorting office collecting today's.

    Grandson Sammy seems to be developing a liking for Heavy Freight Diesels. Think a change of layout emphasis may be required.

  22. TheSignalEngineer

    Grandson very useful, has decided we are going to Bury tomorrow and York next week.

    Had a very pleasant trip to the Hazel Grove MRC Open Day this afternoon.

  24. TheSignalEngineer

    Not hopeful that the back strain will be sufficiently better to travel to Wigan tomorrow :-(

  25. TheSignalEngineer

    Gardening halted due to back spasm. Just in time for the tennis and a kit from the pending box?.

      A lucky break ? (metaphorically of course)

      Built a "Cupboard Door" mineral wagon and painted a Dogfish. 2 Plate wagons, a Short Tube and a Pipe wagon to do next.
