Bwahaha, as mentioned a while back I am transitioning to a new employer, which is based in another part of the world with a small local subsidiary, and I have just received notification that my employee number is: 007.

I notice its a low employee number, is it a very small company, or do certain 'employees' have a low 'life' expectancy?

You should be able to form a bond with them then. Make the most of it as you only live once. Or is it twice?

I remember as a youngster, I would always look out for the Gresley EMU with that unit number.

Happy as a pig in orange today. Mike @woodbury22uk kindly sent me a replacement bogie for my TGV which I will put to the test later on my completed oval and see how it handles Ummagumma Junction. I am very confident that it will be fine on there being a Kato unit

We ordered a flat pack TV cabinet which was delivered yesterday, the cabinet is very nice but I was more excited about the really good quality styrofoam packing material, very useful for railway modelling.

oh, dear I'm back here again, which will worry some folks 

but I just wanted to post  for Armourfast who make 1/72 scale military kits.

last year I bought several from an e-bay shop, and when they arrived, some were built, others added to the stash for later.

a few days ago I got around to building a pair of Cromwell tanks, the kit is for two vehicles, but although sold as new, one sprue was missing the hull top moulding.

banged an e-mail off to Armourfast, explaining the situation, and asking if it would be possible to buy just the hull top.

when I hadn't had a repy by today, I decided to give them a ring to see if they were actually open, or if closed due to the dreaded covid.

a very helpful guy answered the phone, and explained he was the only one there at the moment and asked what my e-mail was about.

I explained and he said he was sure he'd got a spare hull top laying around and asked for my name and address so he could post it.

when I asked about paying he just laughed and said not to bother.

so, when I am ready to moan about things that upset me / poor service etc, I just had to make a note of the superb service from Armourfast.

It is getting a bit frequent/worrying

Seriously, though, it's good to hear of such service

[guest311]

do not fear, I have checked on the .gov website, and repeatedly posting on the happy thread is not a symptom 

however, as blondie would say ' I shall review the situation on a daily basis, and, of course, follow the latest scientific advice '

Too right we are!

I'm sure that if it doesn't arrive by 9am tomorrow you'll be back on another thread
