I think they send a small vessel in to pick up passengers. Mike has posted photos before of what looks like a sophisticated rubber dinghy.

Jeepers! Is THV Patricia still afloat? Last saw her in the mid 80's when I worked at BHC! 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium New Haven Neil Posted August 13, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 13, 2019 Evening. Not a bad day on the rock after a reet cold start, 12c. Mrs NHN has had a fall on her ar$e and strained a hamstring badly - the back of her leg is black and blue from her knee to her b£m. Apparently laughing doesn't help and can be injurious to my health - if she could only catch me! Quite nasty actually, so I'm on full nursing duties, no uniform though. Do any of our UK outline O gauge practitioners on here use any automatic couplings? Kadees? 3 links are beyond me now, I have discovered. 19 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did use Dinghams but they weren't happy with heavy ABS wagons on long trains. They are fi e on short trains with Slaters or Parkside types. I've now gone back to Spratt and Winkle. PM me if you want further info. Hope that your other half hoes on OK. Jamie 6 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Northroader Posted August 13, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 13, 2019 Mike, Cowes is easy enough. Out the back (south side) of Southampton Central, bus stop 50 yards for service to the Town Quay, and on to the Red Funnel. It’s on one of them hydrofoil thingys, not the car ferry, and very fast trip to West Cowes. Just remember we want plenty of piccies, please. Bon voyage. 12 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold BoD Posted August 13, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 13, 2019 (edited) Good morning evening, one and all. A good friend and I decided to pop up to South of the Forth today and sample the fringe atmosphere. It seems to get busier every year but still both very enjoyable and entertaining. Edit: I even managed to find a miniature whisky from one of the few distilleries that I don’t yet have in my collection. Result.

RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted August 13, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 13, 2019 Evening all from Estuary-Land. Tomorrow evening there is scheduled a visit to a private garden railway. However the weather for tomorrow is going to be a bit iffy to say the least. So I decided to check the BBC weather news, however they didn't show anything after 4 pm on the national weather report so I checked the local report only for them to skip the report from 5 pm tomorrow to 5 am Thursday! 59 minutes ago, New Haven Neil said: Evening.

A lady on E-bay by the name of Groovychick80 had some O scale Kadees for sale recently at a very reasonable price. I have dealt with this lady before and she is one of the best traders on E-bay. PS I see Richard and Jamie have PM'd you. 11 3 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerburnie Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Evening all, been on Grandad duties over in Perth, took the two wee lads to Pitlochry for a change of scenery, which went down well as did the Whisky ice cream that Grandad had, tasty it was.All points now delivered, so once fitted, last section of lifting bridge section and we can go for an inaugural loop round TOSH, I might wait for the new A4 or more likely use my trusty B1 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure we both hit at least 35 each day @ Borefts last year. Smaller measures but some bloody strong beers. Managed 45 last Friday at London Craft. Volume wise that works out to be only around 8 pints over the whole day. Most of these fests serve in 100ml tasters. Brussels next weekend for the BXL fest. 29 minutes ago, Tony_S said: Matthew once had a look at Andrew’s Untapped app page. He was very impressed.

bbishop Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Very occasional posts for the next five days, as I watch the rain fall at Lord's. I haven't mentioned that an LAS trainer turned up at our training meeting last night - and checked our CPR skills by connecting his laptop to Annie. It got a bit ageist because the three OAPs (including myself) all scored 100%. Bill 15 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
