Unhappy upgraded to enraged!

As soon as my Rails of Sheffield "Spin to Win" expired, I checked the prices again and... reduced back to "normal!!"  

While I was on-the-clock the prices were all bumped up 10 or more pounds per item, completely negating the discount.   

i can join in the pandemic, was about to replace the dogs collar when he pulled me over landing on my left shoulder , hitting my head on his cage***..

This joins my right shoulder injured 9 months ago when I tripped over at the sailing club..

Both are still painful at times though nothing broken..

***dogs cage covered in a old blanket, it was a place of security for our previous dog to hide in during loud noises like thunder or military aircraft exercising overhead, our current dog uses it as his bedroom, but luckily he doesn't mind load noises.

Rails pulled a fast-one...

I get a "spin to win" email like we all did, but when I go to look at locos a lot of the prices are up as well.

Stores do that over here, too. Claim some big % off sale, but raise the price of the item before the "sale."

Borderline angry thread material. 

The Tesco white reefers please

Looking at period photos on Flickr I'd suggest plough fitted class 47s were in the minority. It could be the spread was related to which depot the loco was allocated - Inverness or Aberdeen based locos may be more likely to carry them for example.

Ploughs were certainly more common amongst other classes - 26 and 27 carried them much more regularly for example; This may be down to them spending more time on the more remote lines.

Sadly the type of music in the Pat Metheny clip did nothing for me. I kept expecting Huggy Bear to appear!! (Antonio Fargas in 'Miami Vice')

"47712 Lady Diana Spencer wasn't fitted with snowploughs so I'd be very surprised if any are included with the model.

I don't believe that Farish has released a Class 47 with snowploughs, but I'd guess they'd be the same as those fitted to some class 37 - i.e. you need to remove the coupling pocket, although with a bit of work you can retain the coupling"


That's interesting to know! I had blanket assumed all Scotrail 47s were fitted with ploughs. My bad! Thanks for the info!

Thank you very much - I shall have a delve! 

Very nice Tim.
Not so sure about the DB collaboration but yes PM is definitely on my radar.

I doubt this Grammy award winning guitarist has featured on this thread before, so here is Pat Metheny with "Here to Stay" from the 1995 album "We Live Here", smooth...


Pat Metheny collaborated with David Bowie and produced "This is not America"...
