43106, I've heard a different ending to the same joke:

Have to agree there. Although today, while travelling on public transport, there was a small group of girls chatting; said conversation was punctuated by copious quantities of "likes" and almost every sentence uttered by all three of them had an upward inflection. Fortunately, they got off...

What's the difference between the Wednesday of Royal Ascot and the Queen's knickers? One covers the Royal Hunt Cup, while the other covers... Something else completely.

They need to sack a few more for the same offence. Last week, I was walking through Broadgate Park in Beeston, and there were two construction workers sat on the grass, smoking cannabis. On another occasion (same place), I observed a group of them drinking lager from cans.

I saw something that made my day today - The preserved ex-Barton Leopard 564, KAU 564V on Hickings Lane, Stapleford. If the owner/ driver of her frequents the Forum, I would like to thank him for taking his bus out today, as seeing her cheered me up - I was having a really crappy day at work...

I'd try 'phoning round your local model shops. There is one fairly close to me (Derby) that often has loco bodies in at reasonable prices (LMC Derby), but I wouldn't hold your hopes up for a Silver Link body - From what I can ascertain, they are somewhat akin to finding rocking-horse manure...

Which one? Live steam or electric? Margate or China? Better still, do you have the model's catalogue number?

Hello Gemma, Getting the terminology correct would be a good start - It is railway station. :) That said, I wish you well in your research; had you been undertaking it at Derby or Nottingham, I would have gladly taken part (although to be honest, I can be a little sceptical when dealing...

You could try using a MAS - Sequencer (available from Heathcote Electronics). It'll save an awful lot of faffing about with wires and switches. I have several of these little units awaiting installation on my own layout; experiments with them suggest money well spent!

The use of the term "train station". Even the BBC is contracting this disease. The worst offender of that particular crime at present is Mark Labbett (sp) on ITV's The Chase.

I've had the 'Metropolitan Police' virus, fortunately AVG did pick it up, and remove it. I have also been fortunate (?) to have the same scam 'phone call purporting to be from Microsoft on several occasions over the past month. There are several ways I deal with them: - Tell them that I...

Heinz, There are usually quite a few spotters at the fire gate at the 27 end; the access road is quite wide at the perimeter fence, and there is space to park, whilst still allowing access for emergency services. There is also a picnic area there, complete with tables! HTH, Don

My usual mount is a Diamond Back 'Topanga'. It is the 1995 model, with black/purple paint finish. It has a custom-built oversize frame. I also have at my disposal two other machines; one is a Raleigh 'Team Corsa 14', which replaced my old Raleigh 'Criterium' after the latter's derailleur...

I'm not sure if they are still extant, but up until a few years ago, one could see tram tracks in the old horse tram depot on Friargate, Derby.

Railsigns, I have to say I completely agree with you. Thanks for the link to the ePetition - Signed. Cheers, Don

Hi CallySleeperKid, Depends what you are looking for, but both are very good! Railway & Barter Shop is my 'local'; I've been using them for years, and they are superb. Neil and Betty are extremely friendly and helpful. The second-hand section is rather good, although "scattered" (locos...

No problem! :) As you may have seen further in that thread, it is quite easy to make mistakes with the driving wheels and coupling rods. The kit instructions aren't exactly crystal-clear on that point... The post by Jim Bob (last post) is correct with regard to the "quartering". If you...

I'm right with you on that one, Old Timer. The irritating term is everywhere; from lettering on the side of buses, even making an unwelcome appearance in news bulletins from the BBC (who, in my opinion, should know better). Even the on-board stop announcement on TrentBarton's IGO service...

Hi Jacob, Here's one: http://airfixtributeforum.myfastforum.org/viewtopic.php?t=13762&start=0 (Scroll down to Post #13!) Cheers, Don
