Get it laser scanned!!! Jim

You need the brand James T Kirk uses - it always wipes out the Klingons

Mad Red Maroon Crimson Lake Army

RailMail of Sheffield, also had a shop in Glasgow, specialized in cheap Lima models, put PHONE instead of the price in its RM listings if the bargains were spectacular Jim

Where was the Lone Ranger going with a bin bag on his back To-de dump, to-de dump, to-de dump, dump, dump (and repeat)

An appropriate one for today.... Wild is the Wind - David Bowie

Wonder why they numbered 85005 as such when they numbered the 87s to be clearly traceable, a quick google reveals that 85005 is 86231! Jim

The story I heard was the he didn't need rescued, just kept needing to go to the toilet

This video features scenes from the film cut with the present day shots - there is even a fleeting cameo from a class 27! https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=111&v=HIK2TRkZrAs Jim

Yes - See Dave-F's post here http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/85326-dave-fs-photos-ongoing-more-added-11th-october/?p=2017556 There was also a flow down the ECML in 1992/93 taking the remaining stocks of Iron Ore from the closed Ravenscraig site to South Wales, the roundabout route being due to route restrictions.

37516 bringing up the rear of a SRPS tour returning from Stranraer at Dunragit on 27-09-2014. Train was being hauled by 37518 The special had been held awaiting the scheduled service formed by 156432 to clear the single line section Jim

Towards the end of this video (taken by me) there is an empty ore train, unusually routed via Mossend, I could 21 wagons. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJ47SReq68g I waited all day that day for a triple header and came up blank, but I did get a lot of variety! There are 5 videos in the series, they should run one after the other. Jim

Have a look at this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_gu0v33e7A The guy who took it must have been standing beside me, as I have my own still shots of this train! Jim

You Only Live Twice - Nancy Sinatra

....while watching the footage of English fans in pitched battles with their friendly hosts (remember Marseille). The papers are already full of predictions of a "festival of violence", I seriously don't mind sitting this one out. Don't expect the local cops will be terribly helpful either. Jim

Bring the Boys Back Home - Pink Floyd

Or are the players being influenced by their club management, and being told not to take any unnecessary risks that could result in injury. I can see the point of a Premier League club owner being reluctant to see an expensive player catching an injury while on international duty that could rule him out for several club matches. Used to be quite common in Scotland for Rangers or Celtic to withdraw players from he squad due to an injury that miraculously was cured in time for the crunch club match the following weekend. Jim

Not Orchestral I think, more likely engineering, something to do with the Charpy V-notch Test Perhaps :-)? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charpy_impact_test Jim

Hopefully never to be moved - Gateside and Northbridge Next - A Garden Layout, any scale Jim

Totally agree with this, had never heard of this expression until I started working for a US company last year, I hate it and refuse to use it. I also hate the current fad of starting every sentence with the word "so", seems to be essential for everyone who pretends to be intelligent. Jim

Not a difficult prediction was it?

Typical West Highland Summers Day, 2005 on the Jacobite at Mallaig as the fine rain (soaks you through) falls Jim
