Quote from: GScaleBruce on April 15, 2026, 12:27:59 PMJust arrived, the Gaugemaster Collection/Dapol 33 012 with its distinctive livery.


I didn't even know about these specials. Oh my. Do I buy another Peak or do I get this? Decisions....  :hmmm:

I wish they'd done 33012 as D6515 in current preserved guise though. Beautifully turned out machine.

Quote from: Bealman on Today at 12:13:34 AMSo that's how Gateshead is really spelt!

Well George,

It dependeth from whence one doth come - North Bank, South Bank, Up the River, Down the River (and which River ) ... certainly I think some might use a "heed" rather than a hud".

And I will admit that overall it was a rather poor attempt to provide a pronunciation guide however one is not fully au fait with diacritics as used by linguists... (cunning or not...) ,

Cheersm

Colin.

10 - no, 5.

I'm managing. It's all the appointments and all the pills which are the bugbear.

I'm well enough to drive short distances, though.

Thanks for asking - I'm still here! I have to acknowledge the help I get from my daughters and Mrs B (even though she is not the best herself with her knee operation), and of course the two nurses who see to me each day.

Been a few days now, George @Bealman
How are you getting on with the snazzy bum bag and the drip in your arm at home?
They won't have prescribed you any morphine to take at home so, on a scale of 1 - 10 (with 1 being virtually pain free), how're you doing?
