RMweb Premium southern42 Posted August 30, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 30, 2014 Evening all. A few pics from yesterday's Llangollen Railway Gala. D5310 at Berwyn on its way to Bonwm taken from our train to Llangollen. Black 5 45337 off to Bonwm. Taken from the bridge at Carrog in the rain. But the sun shone on special guest, Ivatt 2-6-0 46521 at Berwyn at lunchtime. Back at Carrog, rain, mist and steam enshroud 4MT 80072 And it's still raining as we head home. Pics of the freight train and brake van video on Great West Road. Polly 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelintrev Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Morning all, Sat in our hotel room in Victoria (BC) overlooking the harbour, watching ships and float planes rushing about. Found a "proper" model shop too.. (and parked right out side the door) Not much in the way of rail stuff but lots of stuff for scratch building and tools. Very tempted with a lathe .....that got me a slap though! (Well not a physical one, more of the "look") . Did stock up with some metal and a cheap controller so next weekend may see trains running on the micro layout. Holiday Photo of the habrour at Victoria for you, hope your Sunday goes well, Trev 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holiday Photo of the habrour at Victoria for you, hope your Sunday goes well, Trev The last time I was in Victoria, the Canadian Navy had a small ship "for sale" moored in the harbour (it might have been a cutter or coastguard ship of some kind), I doubt that it is still there, but wouldn't that be a holiday souvenir - something to convert to a pleasure craft. If you like chinese food, head down to Victoria's Chinatown, some of the best Dim Sum I've ever had has been in Victoria BC a Soothing Sunday to all 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted August 31, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 31, 2014 Morning all. Having a brew before some more sleep - hopefully. I spent the day photographing yesterday and walking long distances with all my camera gear in the heat gave me some horrible leg cramps last night but fortunately they seem to have stopped and I slept reasonably well. Hope Jock is ok, more updates later from me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebottle Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 The general concern about Jock's wellbeing puts the anxiety about delivery of the Hornby models in its place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiffy2 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Bright and sunny at the moment, so good morning all. Concerns about Jock, as expressed by others. I hope there's some news soon. Had a lovely day yesterday with #3 and family. So relaxed I fell asleep after lunch... also watched a bit of the work being done on the Brighton approaches to London Bridge, photos elsewhere. Soldering practice today due to the self-imposed ban on power tools on Sundays (it's a law in France we brought back to England. Pity my neighbour isn't so thoughtful...). Hope it's a good one all round. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonBradley Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 It's a bright, blue skyed Sunny Sunday morning all and I am feeling as bright as the weather.

DDolfelin Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 It`d be nice if they could simply replace the {many} sordid phone-sex/chat channels on the Freeview platform and replace them with programming for broad/normal interests. Which Channel numbers are these, Debs? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted August 31, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 31, 2014 Morning all. It is a very pleasant morning here. We are going to Enfield today to see MiL. We offered to take something for lunch but she seemed keen to prepare some nice Indian vegetarian food. We had various communications from Matthew during the night, leaving Melbourne, arrived in Sydney, checking in to accommodation. He has finished his work experience, and is now being a tourist for a few weeks. Tony 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold grandadbob Posted August 31, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 31, 2014 Good morning all, A fine, dry, sunny start and should stay that way all day. Feeling rather tired this morning after a splendid afternoon and evening at our daughter's house. Lots of good food (Some with a Spanish theme - something to do with a school project Abbie is working on) and lots of good beer with an English theme (something to do with a lifetime project that I'm working on. Didn't go to the show yesterday after all what with ferrying herself back & forth etc. I ran out of time. I did spend some time thinking about my future modelling and measuring up the small bedroom after a conversation with The Boss led me to believe that I might take it over. We shall see. Now being summoned for breakfast so.... have a good one, Bob. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium jamie92208 Posted August 31, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 31, 2014 A nice sunny morning here north of Ikea. Quite a busy day with church this morning, wondering if our deaf sound technician is going to turn my wifes mike down. If he doesd i will hear about it on our drive down to Lincoin where we're going to visit our eldest. Then hopefully when we get home I'll get chance to do a bit more soldering. Hope that we get some news of Jock soon. Jamie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted August 31, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 31, 2014 Morning all. Having a brew before some more sleep - hopefully. I spent the day photographing yesterday and walking long distances with all my camera gear in the heat gave me some horrible leg cramps last night but fortunately they seem to have stopped and I slept reasonably well. Hope Jock is ok, more updates later from me I was told by an elderly lady that a good cure for leg cramps is to rub the affected area with the cork from a wine bottle. I tried it and it seems to work! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted August 31, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 31, 2014 Morning all, Somewhat cloudy but no rain promised and at least I cut the lawn yesterday - the jungle can wait a while I think. Laddo is promising some sort of breakfast brunch which probably means scrambled eggs although part of the deal is that I try to argue down his insurance bill for his car, so the Admiral will duly have his tail pulled this coming week. Diurolyte can be quite good for leg cramps (not an instant remedy but it seems to work) but do not confuse with electrolyte! Have a good day one & all and hoping that no news from Jock is good news and no wifi in the hospital. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must be dreaming or living in Fairyland because I got my car insurance renewal quote yesterday and it has reduced from last year (by the massive sum of £13.52) It's the first time I can remember ever having a lower premium without fighting for it in 48 years of driving.
