    Don't do Facebook, or social media. I have an e-mail and I go on line to talk about toy trains...

    Don't even know where it is. Also I have never bought anything off AMAZON.

    Am I the only one here who does not own or who has never owned a mobile phone?

    From BBC news. Seems the fifth largest smartphone maker is to launch it's own electric car in a few weeks.

    Them seem well organised over there...

    Some issues reported. The mould, scratch issues could happen to any car in transit but the warping under the weight of roof racks seems to be a design flaw. BYD’s Quality Problems Hit International Markets: Report (msn.com)

    Depends on how close you are to the performing artist...

    The never ending symphony...

    Well I am sorry to say, that as of last night, the planet is doomed

    I have been known to play the "GREEN" card the odd time to get out of a sticky situation. Take for instance when the Mrs starts flashing those amorous glances and dropping unsubtle hints in the "nookie" line. How does the save the planet thing work here you ask? Well I argue about all of those calories that would be used and have to be replenished. "Think of all of those methane emitting farting cattle to be turned into burgers to help me get my strength back. All of that processing and transportation. Hard as it is (no pun intended) but we should think of the planet."

    Two articles from CLAYTON and their industrial shunters. Tata Steel Port Talbot rail operations article here 262Talbot.indd (claytonequipment.co.uk) Sellafield rail operations here RAIL999-Sellafield.pdf (claytonequipment.co.uk) Both would make great working layouts for shunting. Both have servicing/repair facilities on site.

    Do not forget to check your house insurance. Remember that many of these apartments had fire safety issues. Then there was the water ingress thing. I do not know if wiring up the buildings to possibly go up in smoke and plumbing in water to simulate water leaks would be worth it.

    Would make me think that God actually exists

    Rails of Sheffield have Heljan class 33 locos from £104.95 and Dapol class 73 locos for £89.95. There is also a Hornby large logo class 56 for £129.95. A very nice Hornby Sentinel for £59.95. All new,

    "Well dear, it is like this. I somehow got involved in a cult, and it goes under the moniker of IRM. It sounds innocuous enough, having as it's cover, a forum dedicated to discussions on model trains. Sadly I found out too late that this is a front for a more nefarious organisation. The upshot being, if I don't subscribe to a certain number of models per year, to raise funds to support the cause, I might suddenly disappear. You and the kids would never see me again. I am actually doing this to keep the family together."

    Try the "diminished responsability" angle or failing that there is always this to fall back on "Well you did sign up to the - For better or for worse- clause".

    Don't hide them. Be brazen show the Mrs who is the boss, then let us know if it is feasible to build a layout in a tent.

    When you say to the wife "Well I can't take it with me" and she says "You could leave it to me.". You have reached your spending limit.

    I always found them a very good company to deal with. In yesteryear I was a subscriber to their mailing list. Used to come in four or five closely typed pages!

    That is a wonderfully evocative photograph. Sadly not all Januarys are like that. Up until yesterday (31st January)there was still frozen patches of snow on the aptly named Sliabh Snaght. I was elsewhere on Monday and any pools had a light covering of ice.

    Not as young as I was to "earn" any more....

    Well the wife caught me browsing this thread and she said. "So Mr Murphy has some new models coming out and I suppose you will want to get one? Well you know what that means...." Thank God to who ever invented the light switch.

    It appears since this announcement has been made, Iarnród Éireann are considering purchasing all future motive power from IRM.

    Felt like it last week....
