It's a slow process - I reckon I might get a Birthday Card from the King before I finish!

Quote from: Foxhound on Today at 12:10:20 PMThat railcar kooks fab - guessing that's kit built?

Actually no, it (was) made by Arnold, this particular one is from the earliest batch which were made between 1986 and 2002, and given that it says 'Made in West Germany' makes it prior to 1990, so I think I can also claim its bonafide Eurospam . It runs rather well too for just a 2 axle car

Thank you Mick, and to those of you who have donated.  I wondered why my phone kept pinging with emails!  LOL

I'm in talks with our host at this very moment, as currently we've used almost 480GB of HDD space on our dedicated server, which brings us to 94%, so I'm enquiring about installing another HDD.  Once this is done, I will contact the person that I have in mind to sort out the forum issues.

We've lost a few advertisers in the last 12 months and I haven't tried to see if any other companies are interested.  Too much going on at home and work, and my poor little brain can't deal with too much at once!    Let alone thinking about the mess in the loft and actually doing some modelling! 

I really appreciate everyone's support, and I especially recognise the regular members who donate.  THANK YOU!

Ah so the button wasn't provided?  I know some sellers seem to turn that off. 

Following discovery I can get the required blue body from Bachmann Spares, I've now amended my 'Wanted' ad accordingly (must be latest spec)

Also added a few details to Wittenheim station, some trees in planters, window boxes, a little paint changes.  Oh and ran the cutest little train I own a VT88

That railcar kooks fab - guessing that's kit built?

Hi All,
I know times are tough at present but will avoid further comment lest I stray into a political minefield, but we only have 8 days left in this month so please raid the back of the sofa, jean pockets etc and help to meet the monthly target.
I don't think I'm speaking out of skool, but it costs our esteemed leader to run the NGF every month even if we hit the targets and, if I know Chris at all, I don't think he'd want to put the true figures as monthly goals It's scary.
Attempts are being made to attract new sponsors but problems like the latest PHP shenanigans and the space taken up by the forum put a crimp in any budgetting.
So, if you can help at all, please keep this important resource on the tracks.

    

You said it was listed at £175 and you offered £150 which was auto accepted? I'm assuming through eBay's "best offer" feature...?

Quote from: Hot air expert on Yesterday at 07:18:14 PMShame nobody took over from Colin?

I am pretty sure that Colin was approached with that in mind, but much of the "intellectual property" was in Colin's head and it wouldn't have been very straightforward to hand it on, even if he had wanted to which I do not believe was the case.

Yeh that was me. There was just nothing to buy really, only Colin's know-how which understandably he was reluctant to put the considerable effort into imparting. He just wanted to retire and rest, but he was very helpful where he was able and I learned some very valuable things from our correspondence.

There was no "make an offer" feature, hence the messaging.
