Robert Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Morning All, Around 1-2 Oktas this morning, with blue sky. It looks like yesterday's showers have passed for the moment. I went out for a bike ride yesterday afternoon and missed a torrential rain shower by around ten minutes on my return. Once again, nothing huge planned for today. Have a good day everyone...

RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted May 15, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 15, 2011 Morning all. Sunny here, gentle breeze. Not much planned but I'm sure something will eventually happen. Tony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Max Stafford Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Had a long long day at work yesterday and got finished at 1am and just about to go in for another 12 hour stint. I'm glad I'm off for a week again after this as my back is damn sore after standing for most of yesterday in full battle dress! On the plus side I acquired a new Bachmann A1 for my Waverley Route project. Now, shall I re-number as 60159 Bonnie Dundee or 60161 North British? Dave.

RMweb Premium skipepsi Posted May 15, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 15, 2011 Got up late today having stayed up late last night dismal coloured sky and I feel flat for some reason that escapes me. Rabbit continues to gain weight but we don't know what the weight of a 10 week old dwarf lop should be so she is staying inside a little longer.

RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted May 15, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 15, 2011 . Now, shall I re-number as 60159 Bonnie Dundee or 60161 North British? When I was a child, chocolate Dundee biscuits were a special treat. They were large shortbread circles with thick chocolate on one face. I don't think we had any North British biscuits.

gordon s Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Hi guys, not been a bad weekend one way or the other. Pleased to hear your young bun is making progress Mick.... Went to the Bracknell Show yesterday and saw all I needed, albeit a bit of a flying visit as standing for more than an hour is still a tough call. Spent an enjoyable 15 minutes learning how to create embankments and other scenic elements using teddy bear fur and a pair of electric clippers. Very impressed with the results and it certainly runs a Grassmaster very close. Layout wise, it's starting to take shape and I have to say it's been a pleasure to work on now that I have some space in my railway room. There's no doubt that working in a crowded space and with mess everywhere makes the job twice as difficult. Spent the afternoon sitting and wiring an eight foot section of the lower level and it was a pleasure to do. Early days yet, but at least progress is being made.

Very impressed with the results and it certainly runs a Grassmaster very close. Many, many years ago I was going to make some teddy bear fur based scenery. Matthew got really upset about it (I think he was worried in case I sampled his toy bear) so I didn't. I needed a sign saying "no stuffed toys were harmed ..."

sixoh8sixoh Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I saw the teddy bear fur demo at Glasgow show a couple of years back. Definitely gave good results. Time for bed now! Night all! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordon s Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Funnily enough I saw a guy sitting on a shooting stick whilst watching Mostyn and I thought at the time that was just the ticket. Lightweight and easily carried, it deserves some more investigation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trisonic Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 G. I hope the shooting stick had a rubber knob on the bottom. I was thinking of starting another thread for insomniacs entitled: "Late Night Line-Up" - the problem is that when I can't sleep it is time for "Early Risers".......... Best, Pete.

gordon s Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Problem is Pete, I've been to bed once, but just couldn't get to sleep. Hoping a warm drink and a catch up on the forum will help me relax and allow me to nod off... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Morning All, It is somewhat grey and overcast here this morning. A typical Monday morning when all is said and done! Have a good one everybody... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tony graham Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Morning all, Been up since 3am and now been sat at work in need of coffee and lots of it since 04.30 Here in the Great Border City it's another overcast, windy and cold morning. Whats up with this weather, does it not know that its Summer time? The smelly people from BBC Radio 1's BIG weekend are starting to come alive to catch their trains back home. I just wonder how many of them have tickets to travel today? It was a great weekend though, The Foo fighters were fantsatic and Lady Ga Ga was great too, however she is not my usual cup of tea but the Jazz session and the piano solo was ace. Time to find a bed for a couple of hours while on Stand by and hope that the railway behaves until after I go home...... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted May 16, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 16, 2011 Morning all! So, there's another new week – I guess you summed it up nicely, Robert . Be off for uni in a few... Have a good day, lads... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium skipepsi Posted May 16, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 16, 2011 Morning all, gloomy outside and not very warm yet either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelintrev Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Good morning all, my first post on here.........(mainly because the internet is working this morning!) Hot -n- humid here(as normal.) Though a bit of a treat on the flight out of Europe, a railway based movie on the "in flight" entertainment (and I stayed awake!) Called "Unstoppable" and supposed to have been based on real life events.... driverless freight train running across the US being chased by a single loco......still bit of fun and you know it's going to end up OK......... Have a good un. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Welcome to ERs Trev. It is slowly brightening up here - but it is still chilly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted May 16, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 16, 2011 Morning all. Rather cool here this morning but it is forecast to be much warmer later. Tony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PhilH Posted May 16, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 16, 2011 Morning all - first chance to relax after 60 straight hours on call, of which I worked 21. I am a bit tired but it did have its compensations - as I have said before there is something deeply surreal about poking around the innards of a remote rural reservoir at 3am whilst listening to, and observing, nocturnal wildlife going about their business, all under a canopy of millions of twinkling stars (don't worry, the coffee hasn't kicked in yet!) A bit of business to do, then hopefully a couple of hours on Bodge City which is having a painfully slow evolution. One day maybe! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium eldavo Posted May 16, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 16, 2011 Morning All, Apparently it's Monday. I get the feeling that I have to pay back for being out playing trains all day on Saturday, a list has appeared! Have a good one all. Cheers Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Max Stafford Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 63-hour week completed, time to sit back and enjoy a whole week off! Off to the park first to collect Abi! Windy here this morning and 8 Oktas cover but it does appear to be brightening! Have a good day all. If I do anything interesting I'll tell you later! Dave.
