Ed-farms Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Make your mind's up. Am I Arkwright or Don Henley? What about Don Arkwright? Makes you sound a bit like a mafia godfather - he will make us offers we are not allowed to refuse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

puddlejumper Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 There is no debate...............................you are Arkwright (I've heard you sing and it was definitely more Ronnie Barker than Don Henley!!!) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Black Hat Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Not sure if its all about Arkwright, theres a touch of Fletcher akin to another role.... but does that make Simon, Godber? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
harkins77 Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Hi Mike just found out you have the new shop open. I'll pop down hopefully in the next few days or so and say hi and probably spend some cash as well. I'm also after some advice regarding converting a farish 91 as well if you can provide it. Best wishes Kain Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
harkins77 Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Decided to have a pop down to take a loco to get dcc'd and Mike worked his magic again and I have 2 Pullman coaches waiting to be paid for. I guess my guard must have been let down, either that or he's been away long enough for me to forget what it's like to be under his power. At least the missus saw the funny side of it when I said I've just spent nearly 40.00 (without the price of the loco decoder and fitting that is for which I origionally came in for).

You know it makes sense Kain. Hope everything goes ok with your operation. Just a quick heads up for the late night opening tomorrow. Pizza around 6.30.

RMweb Premium MickD Posted June 2, 2010 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 2, 2010 Hi Mike, I have just spent the day at Scania trucks on Burtree Lane,when I got home I had a look at Autoroute and it doesnt look a million miles from you??. Is it within walking distance and if not would I be O.K. to get a 44tonne artic parked outside??. 8hrs stuck in Scania when I could have had a peep at your new premises!! MickD.

Hello Mick, I know the Scania truck place well (I have still got my Class 2 with Hiab), it's about a mile and a half walk. Easiest option is to park your artic on Meynell Road which is the goods access to Morrisons, somwhere around the back of the industrial units. 3 minutes walk. Or you could get your tyres checked out at Hi-Q also on Meynell Road which does HGV's. 2 minutes walk. Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium MickD Posted June 2, 2010 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 2, 2010 Hi Mike, Thanks for the reply,next time Im in there I will pop in and see you,If I ask nicely they should let me borrow a van at Scania,bit easier to park than the artic.

Dick Turpin Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Great to see the new shop Mike - nowhere needs a model shop more than Darlington! Very convenient location for parking you have there too. You can count on my support, and I’ll be in to spend some money shortly; as soon as I have some to spend that is. Remember to put one of those Bachmann O4s (LNER livery) aside for me if they arrive unexpectedly early. Cheers and good luck. James. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted June 3, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 3, 2010 There was something under the old sacking in the corner (it had a red stain on it) and was surprised that Mike didn't try to sell it to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Black Hat Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 I managed to survive.... although have promised to buy another very nice expensive model from the establishment. Dont worry Simon, its another one thats heading your way in time. Had to go to a meeting for Cubs so never get to the late night sessions there....

durham light infantry Posted June 4, 2010 Author Share Posted June 4, 2010 If you are going to the exhibition at Locomotion tomorrow be very afraid. In memory of a friend who passed away this week, I am going to wear a loud shirt that he gave me. This may be accompanied by some shorts...

The Black Hat Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Crikey.... well if I go I might come back traumatised, but meanwhile, Im busy with work this weekend - earning money to pay for trains etc, and as a result not sure if I can make it through after all. Will try Sunday evening to get there if not will call back over Monday for the 67, etc. Chat soon.... hope the weekend goes ok if you dont scare everyone off....

It's just going to give you the chance to rip the p*** out of me in different threads.
