Prototype for everything corner.

And for a change of scenery they used the Hamilton Circle as well The ultimate configuration was Ardrossan and Ayr, both depots were built within a triangle, curiously Ayr had a turntable but Ardrossan didn't. Jim -

Reports are coming in that a shop assistant has successfully fought off a robber using only his labeling gun. Unfortunately the man got away but police are now looking for a man with a price on his head...

The "Question" Mrs Luckymucklebackit uses frequently starts with "Would you like to.....". It is no more of a question if I would like to do something, it is a mandatory instruction whether I like it or not! JIm

I Remember watching the film adaptation of "On The Beach" on telly back in the 1970s, didn't sleep much that night. Films like that were worse than Horror movies as there was every possibility of them coming true JIm

1S68 , The Thames Clyde Express
luckymucklebackit replied to South of 1E's topic in UK Prototype Questions
I wonder where the stock was serviced at Glasgow, WCML stock was serviced at Larkfield and the locomotives at Polmadie, but old traditions died hard and even after the services transferred from St. Enoch to Central the locomotives off the Thames Clyde and afternoon Leeds were serviced at Corkerhill, The stock for the Leeds didn't leave the station but the Thames Clyde stock needed an overnight stay, might have gone to to Bellahouston CS?

Toto, we're not in Metcalfeshire any more!

When you look down vertically, the turret is obviously round, but the way the it will pass through the roof will result in an oval hole in that surface due to the angle of the roof. I remember there is an old technique and it is demonstrated here Jim -

Some "development of true shape of surface" going to be required for the roof, hope you haven't forgotten your tech drawing fundamentals Jim -

Englishman: "That your dog?" Welshman: "Aye" Englishman: "Mind if I speak to him?' Welshman: "Dog don't talk.” Englishman: Hey dog, how's it going?" Dog: "Doing all right." Welshman: (look of shock) Englishman: Is this your owner?" (Pointing at the Welshman) Dog: "Yep." Englishman: How's he treating you?" Dog: "Real good. He walks me twice a day, feeds me great food and takes me to the park once a week to play." Welshman: (Look of total disbelief!) Englishman: "Mind if I talk to your horse?" Welshman: "Horse don't talk.” Englishman: "Hey horse how's it going?" Horse: "Cool." Welshman: (Extreme look of shock!) Englishman: "Is this your owner?" (Pointing to the Welshman) Horse: "Yep." Englishman: "How's he treating you?" Horse: "Pretty good, thanks for asking, he rides me, brushes me down often and keeps me in a nice stable to protect me from the weather." Welshman: (Look of total amazement!) Englishman: "Mind if I talk to your sheep?" Welshman: "That sheep's a bloody liar!!”

Class 26/27 photos
luckymucklebackit replied to Alcanman's topic in UK Prototype Discussions (not questions!)
Sorry Guys, I wasn't making any criticism of the team that preserved it, that particular paint job just makes the loco end look somewhat odd, somehow it manages to make the windows look smaller, my first thought was that it makes it look like a Lima class 33 conversion (of which I have an example) Jim -

Couldn't help thinking how wrong that looked yet couldn't put my finger on why, then I realised it is simply that the yellow end goes slightly higher than normal, amazing how a small detail difference can affect perception! Jim -
