harkins77 Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Surely though Mike if there is a chance of a picture of you in shorts appearing on this thread surely it should have an age verification security thing on as it will scare the members from entering the thread or at least have a public warning attached lol.

RMweb Premium Peter Beckett Posted June 18, 2010 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 18, 2010 I finally arrived at DRM today and a very warm welcome from Mike. Its also the only railway modelling shop that I have been offered a cuppa and a choice of bikkies. Very Nice!! Left later with a slightly lighter wallet and a very good sound loco at an excellent price. Many thanks, Mike and I will be emailing you regarding the Class 37 offer Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed-farms Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 I found the way to beat Mike. Take someone else with you and encourage them to spend money - he is that busy focusing he efforts on them and their wants you can get away scot free Mind you, Mike will probably focus his efforts on me next time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
durham light infantry Posted June 20, 2010 Author Share Posted June 20, 2010 It's all about getting the right stock in at the right time. There is a load of stuff coming in tomorrow which will be right up your street Ed. I also won't be there as I am going walking in the Dales. So you can get in and out with what you want, rather than what you don't know you want..... Mike P.S. Supposed to be going out walking this afternoon, but the blessed Julia Bradbury is on all day on Blighty. However the lure of walking with the girlfriend has won.

durham light infantry Posted June 23, 2010 Author Share Posted June 23, 2010 Thanks Doug. An Eb bass!
