Right then, I suspect that, like me, most people don't read every section of the forum. So, when I log on I check the sections that interest me. Now here's the problem - when I have checked all the posts I look up to find that something new has appeared where I have just been.
This has to stop! How am I supposed to get on with stuff if you lot keep posting at all times of the day?
I suggest that you post only during odd numbered hours (GMT) and I will do my part by only reading posts in the in between hours.
There now, wasn't that easy? ;)
Wouldn't a day's worth of posts coming in at the same moment cause the server to explode? :hmmm:
Would they all fit through the wires? :hmmm:

Well if it wasn't for pointless threads like this one, it would be much quicker and easier to keep up to date...

Take no notice Mr. Splod. Everyone deserves a bit of fun.

There are a few pointless threads on the forum and this collection of pointless and factual is what helps keep this forum from getting stuffy. I realised after reading the first post that it was not to be taken seriously and even joined in myself. So once you realise this is a bit of fun, it is very easy to ignore it if you are not interested.
cheers John.
Well said, that man :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

A very balanced and mature response Mr moderator.
However you should be aware that not everyone wants to talk about points - interesting though they may be. :D

If we didn't have points our trains would just go round and round ,and that would be boring.

You're absolutely right Bob but if we had nothing but points our trains would not go round at all!

If all those points were sidings then you would have one hell of choice of trains to run on the circle it would really be THE CIRCLE LINE but they would have to be DMUs or push pull trains or 14xxwith auto coach so they could reverse back in to the siding again , of course some of you with DCC and computers could do a program for random selection of which train ran next,
By the way I only joined just over a year ago but I'm just as mad as most of you already,I used to be quite sensible once upon a time .
Bob
This is a pointless discussion. We're just going round in circles :toot:

Absolutely true. What's life for if not to enjoy?
Even when I was playing trains with my big layout (the 12" to 1' one) as a Guard on BR, then all the way through Thames Trains to First Great Western the ONLY thing I took seriously was safety.
I'm certainly not going to get too worried about my N Gauge layout - or this site; life is far too short for that.
Keep the wheels turning Zogbert, and thanks for the smiles.
:thankyousign:

Ah, but we could as shown above by Sprintex and Railsquid. By linking up all the curved bits of all the points we could go round and round, and that's the straight answer to this point. Of course we could just use curved points then we would never get a straight answer!
P/S I was going to say this discussion is now going round in circles and getting pointless but that would be getting off the point so I won't. :no:
Sorta reminds me of the particle accelerator at CERN. You could fang a loco around and around until it reached almost light speed, switch a point to hurl it down a straight track into a wall, and hey presto, you've discovered the Hicks Boson. :D :laugh3:

Is that related to the Higgs Boson or the Hoggs Bison?
PS is fang Oz for project at high speed or a jaggy thing in a shark's mouth?
Over here all sharks have teeth, all snakes have fangs and all spiders have 8 legs. You steer clear of all of 'em. ;)

The "Hicks Boson" is something scientists discover after a heavy drinking session.
Or smashing an expensive locomotive into it's fundamental particles...
Now this really is getting loopy. :beers: hick

Is a Hoggs Bison a cross between a pig and a buffalo? :confused2:
And Col Saunders crossed a banjo and a hen and got a Kentucky

Depends who Mummy is. Could be pigalo or buffig.
But more to the point, we haven't covered frogs yet. Could they be the answer to changes in direction?
