That's good to hear. Keep it up but without overdoing it

Hi folks,
Just now, my landship trainpack arrived! in one piece and in good working order and looking gorgeous!

Compliments to Rails for the bomb-proof packing and swift delivery.
Pickies later....

Just a tad bemused, in addition to the decoder eventually turning up from DCC supplies, I seem to have recieved and additional one... should I call DCC Supplies and call them (guilty conscience!)

I passed an exam today, this now means I have far more free time for N gauge, oh and gardening, now it's the summer...

Congratulations on your success, it is always a good feeling to get another pass

Not very keen on gardening, although I do admire a well turned out garden.

However I am all in favour of more n gauge time

cheers John.

Congrats SO!

Look forward to seeing what you're up to - N gauge-wise of course - with all that free time!

It is? I mean, is it? Must have blinked and missed it

Great news about your exam, though

I recently lost the destination blind off of my 108 I sent an Email to Farish to see if they had any spares I got an auto message back saying that they would contact me ,But what a surprise when the postman came this morning there was a letter from Bachman Farish with a free Blackpool destination board,It's nice to know that that you can get service sometimes I even rang them to say Thankyou spoke to a nice guy called Roger.
Not only that but the Buffalo arrived from my friends in Canada along with a Royal Canadian Policeman although he is more like 0 gauge than N.
Today started out being a bad day but has turned out a great day it's really cheered me up.

Hi Bob. Have you seen the size of real 'Mounties'? No wonder they always get their man!

Bob Tidbury · June 02, 2015, 12:06:05 PM

While on my only ever real holiday two years ago .The weather in Canada was the worst they had for years .One morning Val And I went for a walk on the shore of Lake Louise it was frozen and they had a ski rink and ice hockey rink .Val said she was getting cold when we got back to our room we put the Tele on and the temperature was minus 35 .
In Calgary it was heavy snow so we didn't go out much Our friends took me to Two model railway shops and we went to two shopping malls but didn't see one Mountie not even a model of one apart from a teddy Mountie .
Still it was a holiday I will never forget so many first time things .
First time in a plane, first time abroad, first time in a real hotel and so on ,all paid for by our son he even paid for my first ever passport.

are going to Cornwall for a fortnight soon, ok but nothing special, then SWMBO suggested "why don't we go a couple of days early and stop near that place you want to visit?" So have booked two nights at a campsite just down the road from Pecorama------ Result!

dannyboy · June 03, 2015, 10:38:28 PM

Steve, you obviously have an understanding, (and nice), lady.

Hi Steve. If you haven't been before it is a great day out and your wife will love it too. I last visited it with my stepfather, mother and others some years ago. Mum has a passing interest in trains but stepfather - his opinion of trains, and 'toy' ones even more so - has to be

but even he enjoyed the visit, mainly due, it must be said, to the marvellous gardens there.
And while you are there, the Seaton tramway is worth a trip too.

And I almost forgot. If your wife does enjoy Pecorama then there is an excellent layout at Mevagissey (World of Railways) that you might be able to visit too. Good luck.

Following orders from my new GP I went to our local `orspital to have my chest photographed

The visit is a `drop in' service between 8-30 and 4-30. Its always been a case of getting there early and hoping to get out by tea time.
Yesterday we turned up just after 2PM and joined the others waiting to honour their appointments
At 7 minutes past 2 we booked in and were sent to sit down and wait our turn. At 10 minutes past we were called through to the changing area. As I was in the wheelchair I was wheeled straight in and allowed to strip down to the waist in the actual Xray room

.
The ~~raddiogr~~ photographer was exceedingly kind and helpful and after the required snapshot I was helped to get dressed.
By 2-30 we were out of the building,back in the wifes car and on our way home.
That's got to be some sort of record for that department and building

Well done the NHS
