I hate to through out anything that still has some useful life left in it, I've had the wife for 40 years 

I believe she speaks very highly of you, too, David

When I was thinking of a change of car I mentioned to my little treasure that I was thinking of getting a Mondeo "what do you want one of those for it's a boring old mans car" I replied "I rest my case" !

Hey, I've got a 2 litre Titanium and I love it! And I'm middle aged I think.

I have been looking at Volvo estates.......Oh dear  I will get my coat

I am also car hunting trying to find one with big enough boot for mobility scooter and winch, before anyone says anything the winch is to get me out of the car I think

Having been a sales manager in my previous life I had 3 Mondeos from 1993 onwards and put over 100,000 miles on each of them (yep - all mouth and motorway was I) and also had 2 of them since I was made redundant in 2006. Brilliant cars, and the turbo diesel is just a pure rocket ship with a magical mpg.

Well, ignoring  motorway man above, 

Trying to get power to the track at Castle Eden which has mysteriously dropped to ziltch, having to deal with Mrs Bealman taking a day off work, and having a beer at club.

Otherwise, nowt much.

Try putting some coins in the meter?

Here at Chez Railsquid am busy wiring up tiny tiny leds to light up tiny houses to fool potential 1:150 burglars there's someone at home.

Both Martini Holt and Wotcanappen are stationary at the moment to busy car testing  trying to find one to take us and a 200lbs mobility scooter at the same time and that is automatic transmission some of the cars I have driven are gorgeous but sadly not capable.

Claywell is finally getting its terminus ballasted, been putting it off for ages as I wanted to do a couple of alteration, all but one done now.  I can't make up my mind whether to change the crossover near the end of platforms 3 & 4 into a scissors crossing so locos can easily be released from either platform giving more operating potential so that bit I'm leaving unballasted (is there such a word?) for the time being.  ho - hum.

Very good work, but it wouldn't fool me. That's a deserted house, mate. Up the downpipe at the left and over onto the balcony. Easy pickings!

Actually, that could make a cool little cameo.... a blue stobe flashing on the side of the house and a siren going.

As long as you could switch the thing off, though... the things are always going off around where I live. False alarms, I'm sure.

I like the idea of the scissors, Caz. As you say, increased operational potential, and it's such a cool looking formation

What you don't see is the ninja hiding on the balcony.

Burglar (and car) alarms: pretty much unknown in Japan.
