Right size inside leg but waist wise I wouldn't stand a chance  

Quote from: Papyrus on August 05, 2025, 05:33:55 PMThe first job, I decided, was to finish off the pavement on Station Road. I knew I had just the right amount of embossed plasticard left to do that, but the ****** black hole has made off with that too.

And the station canopy still hasn't turned up...

Good news - the plastic paving slabs did finally materialise. I had put them in the box with the rest of the buildings for Station Road, which is far too logical even for me.

Bad news - the black hole has swung past once again and taken a pair of trousers!! Nice pair of M&S cords which I was going to wear to visit the step-beings on Christmas Day. Nowhere to be seen. If anybody has found a pair of light grey cords (W34, L31) they don't recognise, send them back this way, please...

    

Happy Christmas, all!

150232 has snow ploughs fitted, but they should be yellow:

If you're not going to run it combined with another set take the cab end couplings off. It'll look a lot better - you m8ght find some dummy scale couplings in with the detailing parts which are better still.

Hi All,

Wishing you all a fantastic Christmas and all best wishes for the new year 


Luv Kevin

 

Was listening to some rock from down under that's not AC/DC

Sorry, I'll have to sort this out next week.

If anyone would be OK with a bank transfer, please message me and I'll send the details over.

Many thanks, and Merry Christmas to you.

Merry Christmas one and all !

A nice surprise

Having received an email from Rails of Sheffield yesterday afternoon stating that the GWR liveried Class 150 that I had ordered several months ago was ready for despatch, I was surprised to have it delivered before lunch today by Mr Postie.
Excellent service from the oft maligned RoS.

Here she is on the sea wall stretching her wheels with a spot of "running in".
A nice addition to my growing modern image fleet which fits in well as they are so common on the sea wall :

The loco runs well straight from the box. Now, do I fit the little show ploughs or no? Several of the real life units that we see on a daily basis are so fitted.
