Warbonnet

We'll see. I didn't take it lightly, and it's from a source from my working days (i.e, not some spotty teenager that likes to play funny games on twitter) As for Suarezgate, I don't think there is any point in bringing it up yet again. But Patrick is right in his correction. It was Evra himself who stated that he did not believe Suarez was racist in his testimony. Lets hope we do not see such sad incidents again.

Unconfirmed reports that Kenny has been dethroned. Will confirm when I hear more.

Any chance of SSM doing some brass handrail stanchions ala smokey valley in the US Westy? I have 9 141s and an expected half dozen 071s and god knows how many murphys 121s that need upgrading...

Reasons were offered in their replies on why they thought the prices were too high. It was no more than friendly advice and at the end of the day it is up to the vendor to either take the advice or stick to his asking prices.

I would say both, but the Dildos aren't as bad as the Voyagers. Travelled London to Birmingham on a Voyager (weekend diversion via Chiltern Line) for Warley a few years back. They were noisy, smelly (the smell from the jacks wafted through the whole coach) and very claustrophobic. On top of that I'm not sure who designed the seats, but there's no way they have a normal spine. Our ICRs for example are superior in every way. I went from London to Glasgow and back on the Pendo and booked a window seat in advance. When I got on there was no window, just a wall. They're a bit bumpy but at least the seats were decent. Impressive machines though, very fast accelerating off the mark.

That's a cross country voyager, they also come in Virgin livery ala the Pendodildos. Absolutely horrible trains to travel on, speaking from first hand experience.

Filthy mind. And you a grandfather.

Very nice Dave, 071s and Mark IIIs was the ultimate combination for train travel in this country for me. The Cork coaches that replaced the Mark IIIs are shocking in comparison. Hard seats, awful ride, small windows. We didn't know how good we had it!

I thought the video was done in China until I saw the H&W on the crane!

Especially when he's naturally a striker and and played there for Bohs fairly successfully. A mad day, but what a day. My old man is a city supporter and he was resigned to defeat with 20 minutes to go. City just didn't look like scoring, and losing Toure in the 1st half was a big blow. But typical City, they had a surprise up their sleeve. Great finish by Aguero, quality always shines through in the end and his touch and finish was superb. As a Liverpool fan I'm most delighted that the season is over. Still, at least we won something this year, unlike some Terrible season though, Champions League is where it's at, and if Liverpool want to but up a side again, they badly need to get back in it to attract better players etc. Sadly Kenny is not the man for that job. Anyway, roll on the Euros. We'll have to set up a thread to see if there's any interest in forming a IRM fantasy football league for next season. I finished an almost respectable 5th in the WNXX forum league this year.

Hi and welcome to the site! You could stick a list up of what you want to sell on here, and a few pics. You might even get a few offers!

Pffff, Scotsman is such a hussey of a preserved loco, always grabbing the limelight compared to other engines. There are much nicer A3's out there with more attractive names. Anyway, here's mine! Must do a support coach along with one for Tornado, both add something different when running modern stock. I might be a bit of a philistine but I like A3s most of all with GNR coalrail tender, BR green late crest and smoke deflectors, ala Galtee More Scotsman's corridor tender and GNR tender And another shot of City of Lancaster. They're really nice models, but I must replace the front bogie with a more realistic aftermarket product. The Hornby one looks pretty poor.

Pond life strikes again. Folk who enjoy chariot races on the public highway have been linked with such thefts from numerous British preserved and mainline companies. Luckily they didn't have the copper out of the diesels, some locos in the UK have gone to scrapheap after such harvesting. Some others have tried to have the copper cabling off the overhead catenery too, often with 'shocking' consequences...

Good to see you here Steven, looking forward to seeing more of your Marlkin collection!

She does look very good in black. You've got to love Staniers, he came up with some beautiful designs. I have a maroon City of Lancaster myself, would fancy a black one too. Dutchess of Sutherland has recently been outshopped in early BR green... But not as nice as LMS black (or maroon for that matter.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KWnXNycpHI

That would be one hell of a facelift.

Check out http://www.auscisionmodels.com.au/index.htm and http://eurekamodels.com.au/ I believe Seamus Graham was selling Eureka Garratts at one time, saw one in action, spectacular model.

Sounds promising Dave, if you need any help let me know. Maybe the site could have a presence at it to spread the word!

The plot thickens, cheers for letting me know Gareth.

Just before, thankfully!

Some poor pics taken of the wagons in Portarlington on Monday.

I have no idea to be honest mate, I have little interest in the whole thing. Anthony does have a point when he talks about animal cruelty as well though, as you do too. Animal cruelty, complete disregard for road safety and the safety of themselves and others, failure to stop. Punishments need to be far greater for such carry on.

Is that home made or was it commercially available?

Didn't realise you did parts Seamus, how much you charging?

Two asses on carts more like. I don't understand why they don't organise it better and apply to have a section of road closed off so they can run their races even. But then, that's pondlife for you.
