My Google Translate says it means 'rails' but other meanings underneath say 'splint' or 'put in a splint' which I thought summed it all up perfectly  :). German efficiency!

I think Joe was translating the picture rather than the text. :)

Thanks Jim, yes I know, I just thought the fact it meant splint too was vaguely amusing  :no:. Ich hole meinen Mantel.

I am in the fantastic position of living in Germany and having unlimited access to no end of Fleischmann, Trix etc.

Er...

Anyone know a good Hornby stockist in Germany, so I can do a GWR setup in my flatshare room? :smiley-laughing:

DM Toys stock Dapol stuff and a few bits of Farish by the look of it.

If you insist on going 'Orribly 'Oversized I'm not sure who stocks it over there.

I wasn't really being that serious, although the thought had crossed my mind!!! ;D

I finally have my very own room in Germany!  :)

I moved in last week. As it was unfurnished, I got to re-decorate and I've been gradually adding furniture.

There is a laminate floor, so I can run a railway around on the floor!

My new flatmates are a nice bunch, a nurse and two engineers in the energy sector,

I once had a thread mentioning the lack of safety barriers near tracks on the continent. Here is a local cemetry next to the main line to Leipzig from Dresden. No fence!

Hi all,

I have been waving my paint brushes again.

Buckinghamshire in Autumn, acrylic on canvas 80cm x 60cm

Reference photo was taken near Beaconsfield last Autumn.

Very good, although I thought Beaconsfield was inland, and not beside the "C". ;)
Cheers, Trev.

Thanks John. Well maybe just a tad homesick!  ;)

I was just getting settled in this room, but I found out I need to move out again end of January. Moving is irksome, however the part of the city I am in is not really optimal for work. So it could be advantageous.

I'm guessing there's not much need for a fence between a cemetery and a railway, though? Shouldn't be too many trespassers...
