    How can a country pay millions of people not to work when the drains need unblocking?

    Good day at Bury, although sheltering from the rain next to a stall of goodies lightened my wallet a bit.

      Grandson convinced me that we needed a trip behind a Deltic, better still we had a double header.

      SQuirreLs. Nuts.

    Looking forward to the Olympics. The railway room is a TV free zone so will be the ideal sanctuary.

    Carlsberg have stopped brewing Ansells Mild, saying there's no demand. If you don't make something available you can't expect it to sell. Still, never was the same after Aston Cross closed down.

      Carlsberg don't do closures. But if they did, they would be the best closures in the world. Probably.

      I knew it was a good idea to put in the new central heating and gas fire in in February!

      About 2035 or when you are 106 whichever is later.

    High Peak TT has been in full force this morning. No sirens at our end yet.

      Only seen one - heading north out of Buxton towards Dove Holes.

    Back on the road again - car fixed but modelling budget down by the equivalent of one new loco :-(

      You're lucky that it only took the budget down that little.

      Im lucky in having a fleet car. When it breaks down you just should loudly and someone comes and gets it and brings you another one to play with for a while. Mind you i'm paying for it all in CCT.

    Would anyone be interested in a special commission Chocolate and Cream Digestive?

      Not one of those leftovers from GW150 is it?

      How much would they fetch on eBay?

  10. TheSignalEngineer

    Must get the Super D off the plank before Grandson arrives.

  11. TheSignalEngineer

    Car broke, can't get fixed until after Bank Holiday:-( More time for modelling :-)

      Piston broke ?

       

      Or are you sober ?

  12. TheSignalEngineer

    Back from 6 days with no internet. 29 pages of unread posts. Think I'll go back to sleep.

    1. beast66606

      beast66606

      You're lucky the site was down for a few days then, otherwise it would have been 129 pages !

    2. TheSignalEngineer

      TheSignalEngineer

      Looks as if I picked a good time to go away. Otherwise I could have done some modelling.

  13. TheSignalEngineer

    Intended MTB route snowbound, so we went the other side of the hill and it was clear, no snow in sight.

  14. TheSignalEngineer

    Carpet Fairy Strikes Again!! Where did I put my supply of spare brake levers?

  15. TheSignalEngineer

    Wierd. My clip of a football special (47s and Thunderbird) at Dinting Lane has been viewed in Albania and Khazakstan.

    What a difference a week makes. Last Wednesday a picnic in Lyme Park, this week virtually snowed in.

  17. TheSignalEngineer

    Bought a nice looking but sticky running gronk. Guessed right, after 10 grams of congealed white grease scraped out and with a smear of model oil it runs a treat.

  18. TheSignalEngineer

    Why in this country do we pay over a million people not to work then expect volunteers to run all sorts of things for free?

    1. TheSignalEngineer

      TheSignalEngineer

      Been there and got plenty of T-Shirts, ties and coffee mugs. Suppose I could always auction those as collectable.

    Weather outside looks like back to winter. Must be due to approaching Easter Bank Holiday.

      Snow on Easter Sunday?

      Done deal methinks...

      Yes please!

    Started reading the Bachmann press releases but my wallet pocket got too painful

    Service, MOT, exhuast and front brakes need fixing, cost about 2 locos over budget. Oh well, back to recycling old rolling stock for a while.

    1. The Stationmaster

      The Stationmaster

      Fortunately my bill on Friday was restricted to front brake pad renewal, the MoT was free as it's covered by the service plan. But it was still the cost of a commissioned loco model.

  25. TheSignalEngineer

    Hacked off with hearing about the Leveson Inquiry.
