I've been on RMWeb a bit too much, probably!

Ah, that explains things then!
No worries, enjoy the rest of the holidays.

Quote from: PennineWagons on December 26, 2025, 06:56:42 PMBoth were in the Farish catalogue from 2005-2009, so assuming that Farish only produced the one batch of each and then kept them in the catalogue until they were sold out, they're both twenty years old.

I knew that, which is why I told the OP that in my first post. IDK why it was ever questioned.  Possibly because I was more interested in answering his original question rather than demonstrating how clever I was as a historian

Drat. I'd have put money on beige  

I thought beige was one of those auto-moderated words. Should never be mentioned on a family forum.

Last time I had mead was at a medieval banquet at Coombe Abbey some 40 years ago. I suspect, like Chris, it would be on a banned list for me now

Treasure arrived at Christmas, most of it on pre-order from me to me, but the posties left a couple of boxes out in the rain and the contents were damaged as you might expect. The other parcels were lost in the system and might be redelivered today.

N gauge: Two Gaugemaster electric blue class 73s. It's been a long time coming but they are here!
OO gauge: Bachmann 2-HAP with DCC sound. Heljan 33057 with DCC sound, EFE Rail 74009 and 74010. Heljan Bulleid class 12 shunters 15212 and 15221.
Roco Z21 DCC system. I've never been so excited about a black box before 

Plus a couple of lovely grey jumpers to wear in my former Garden Office now dedicated train room.

Some new ply baseboards will be coming in January.

How wonderful to be retired and have all this play time.

Downside...the fridge freezer motor stopped working Christmas Day!!!! had a lot of food to rescue/eat.

I love mead, but Mrs P doesn't so I haven't drunk much of it in recent years. It's on my banned list now anyway. Ah well. Sigh.

@Dorsetmike enjoy! 

Cheers,

Chris

Do they run a points system/speed awareness courses like in the UK?
