I recall he appealed more to females than males, and I'm talking purely music wise

The opposite here. I used to like Boz Scaggs back in the day, but now I can't stand him.

Quote from: LASteve on February 19, 2026, 05:43:28 AMI'd never heard of (or heard) a Spirax Valve prior to my Legomanbiffo CL33 project. Now I know what one is, and I assume an approximation of what it sounds like, but there is a little element of "what's the point" on that one!

Hi there,

The popping of Spirax valves is primarily for those with MPDs as in reality if you walk around any group of stabled diesel locos it is a sound you'll hear a lot!

And a happy birthday from me! Looking forward to receiving a bit of cake - if Mable hasn't eaten it all!

Cheers,

Tim

Happy birthday youngster

Quote from: Nbodger on February 19, 2026, 04:44:35 PMin the short term there is NK to get finished, which is getting rather urgent.

100 days and counting... Dare I start a countdown... 

Does the 100 days include weekends, hopefully not

No time off for good bad behaviour here...   

Great trip review.

Jealous.

My first one took 12 years, but so much of that time was paralysis due to not knowing how to move forward on a particular area.


The one I plan on beginning on February 22, 2026 I hope will go faster.

I've decided to tackle:

Woodwork
Soldering
Wiring
DCC (Or DCC-light)
Weathering

Quote from: madchadbrad on February 17, 2026, 11:23:38 PMI think I have quite a lot of SPAM material in my collection ... mostly wagons but a few locos as well. Wren-Lima, Hornby-Minitrix, some early Graham Farish/Grafar ...

I'm stunned at the amount of wagon liveries Lima produced! A very nice collection there! Kev E.

Happy Birthday, Mr Bodger! Seventy kangaroos are now hopping your way
