Been off the forum a few days-nothing much to talk about, plenty of good reading from you guys though. This morning Her Majesty's Mail delivered a parcel from Charles Ro, a track pack for adding a passing siding to Lionel. Unpacked it, got a spot of brain ache, it's added 10" all round to my...

Jim, Some of your jokes are read on our BBC Radio2 by Wogan (the nations most listened to radio station). That is after I've sanitised and translated them into proper English 'like wot we ovver ere speyke'. Keep them coming please. Was it a black 'Heelan Coo' you were after? Might have found...

RT bad luck lad, hope it 's not as bad as it looks. All our houses are made of brick, the car definately would have come off second best. Hey Chief! that nearly came off, two birthdays a year, only good Queen Bettie gets that.

A&svrr It gets to one! Just ordered a siding set from Charles Ro, spent the morning doing a 10'x9' track and base board plan for the perimeter of my bedroom, will have to get rid of double bed and replace with a 3' divan. In the new year will order the base boards from White Rose Modelworks...

Midnight GMT in a frosty, misty Stockport. I am pleased to announce:- The Ashlar and Spen Valley RR is up and running, just a few tweeks on the voltage, a drop of lubrication and all will be honky-dory.

Morning all from a damp, chilly Stockport, temp. just above zero C, my car has changed colour from frosty white to the makers silver. No snow for the people who's nostalgia for an old Bong Crisby film is stronger than their sense of danger. At last! I have all the bits I need to get the Ashlar...

We use a self decramminating gudget with concentric flanges for digging up turnips, if it is driven anticlockwise with a bunsen burner fitted to the exhaust? The turnips are ready to eat by the time one gets home.

Minus 2C here in Stockport, dry as a lime grinders clog, high pressure for the next five days means we are really chilling here in good old Blighty. Got up this morning another year older and just as daft. Bad news yesterday, the ex. Mrs B the second has been struck down, had two strokes...

David, Dare I mention the 'Geisel Ejector' I remember in the early 60s discussions in the railway technical press on ways of improving the thermal efficiency of The steam locomotive.:confused: But I will confine it to British Railway practice (another forum). As far as I know non subscribers can...

Great layout Don, Hope that stove under the bench with the curtain isn't live, you could soon be looking for a new hobby room/house.

Over here we called them Blinkers. I think it was larger rather than smaller chimneys due to the increase in flue gas and ejected steam volumes. Elementary(physics) my dear Watson. :winter1:Cold morning in sunny Stockport. Gritters are out in strength.

Beans on Toast in a cool, damp Stockport 3deg C, no gritters. Funny, I was going to say so much having not done a post for some time, looks like I've got a severe attack of writers block.

New Years Eve my Scots family will be enjoying 'Haggis and Neeps (turnips)' at midnight, it will be paraded into the gatheringahead of a piper in full rig, and washed down with copious amounts of Single Malt.aussie Sad to say yet another Hogmanay away from my family:cry:. Any one else tried the...
