Yeah you keep believing that, the only way you are going to get rid of that colour properly is to actually physically remove the nail varnish from your real toes! http://www.superdrug.com/Superdrug/Superdrug-Acetone-Nail-Polish-Remover-50ml/p/219149?gclid=CjwKEAjwl9DIBRCG_e3DwsKsizsSJADMmJ11Z03SeOtI8k6wx4VzXLZky4ZKTuGKg0-Ria9IZxzwFxoCfu3w_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

Well this thread has turned into a 'willy waving exercise'

Some from earlier, popped out to fott the 88 on the northern belle, went down to LNWR for a different viewpoint away from the public! And the 88 68 on the rear And that was that, back to the station in a bit to get my train, too and tail 73s round Cheshire then drive off to westbury!

I've just realised the time this comes back through crewe later is the same time I depart from there with my EDs!

Nowt special yesterday, medical in romiley near Stockport, decided to go by train Bendy bus from Piccadilly out via guide bride Old signal box at the jn, left to Piccadilly via brinnington and right via Hyde and guide bridge, there are a right mush mash of lines over this side of Manchester/Stockport And a 150 back via brinnington I didn't get any pics of the station building at romiley but it sure is an impressive structure, don't know it's company origins but I've never seen a station like it before, 2 flights of steps up to the Manchester platform, floor 1 takes you to the underpass to the Sheffield bound platform, certainly a prototype for everything station Edit: wiki link https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romiley_railway_station

I'll give you a wave around crewe! Didn't know about this but I think a saunter down the station may be in order

This thread has gone a bit too specific in its "ask's" for my liking now! Had someone not put a pic of a signal box I'd be asking what Mckenzie and holland was about now? Anyway for the next pic I want a photo of a pink train with old style OHLE flashes with a mountain in the background with snow on, narrow gauge loco imported from Glasgow works between the dates of 1-7 th June 1903 And the drivers name must be Jeff, who owns a cat called tiddles

Come on DRS crewe, stop tantalising us with lists of locos you have bought we want to see photos!! (Not that I don't believe you have them or anything but you claim to have bought pretty much the whole Bachmann modern image back catalog over the last couple of years but are reluctant to share them with us!!)

It's a redo from an old plain green Bachmann 37, added lights and yellow ends and Zimo sound chip

Little bit more done, finished the main platform Extended the land above the tunnel mouth so the track isn't so close to the edge And built the new outside platform I then thought I'd see if my plan of removable retaining walls would work Magnetic tape on the rear wall And some on the rear of the retaining wall as well as some more l-cut wall formers And voila, strongly in place The offcut brick card will go on the inside of the rear wall, slightly higher than the outside (less than 1mm), I can then put some coping stones on top so the removable retaining wall can sit below it and slide out easily Seems to work, will add vertical columns between the card sheets on the outside to hide the joins

Put a bit of primer on the 37 Also give the yellow ends a first coat of yellow paint but forgot to get a pic of it

Mini workbench in the kitchen again Chipped up the NMT and arriva DVT Added shawplan brake discs to the 68s and nameplates to the DRS one I picked up a colas 37421 from the derby show today which I thought I'd have a go at backdating to a 37/2 with replacement grilles and light clusters etc Rubbed down the existing plastic grilles so they were flush with the bodywork and added shawplan etched grills in their place Added etches over the headcode panel as well as removing the ETH jumper and receptical from the nose end Etched depot plaques and "Cardiff canton"'nameplates Going to hand prime the rubbed down bits and grilles/headcode panels tomorrow hopefully then get some top coat on there then see if I can get some numbers made up (and get the new style colas helmet logos for it) Also going to need some new horns and a buffer head fitting as well as a couple of extra handrails on the nose ends I also tonight did a bit more to the NMT coaches, added some more laserglaze to one of the coaches and began to add PH designs etched brake discs to the wheels

Some from Friday night/Saturday morning Crewe to rugby via Birmingham (30mph Stafford and back!) Crewe New st And then over to derby to stable, just in time for the model railway show in the roundhouse

A quick About turn and back to derby station to get a train via Leeds and the s+c Some from Leeds 158753, the first train I drove in my own after passing out for driving, was in fnw livery back then though Various units And my train to carlisle (158 on the rear) I rode with the driver using my northern cab pass so I could have a look over the s+c as I need to try and finally get it learnt for the log train when it restarts working via hellifield, never done Leeds to hellifield before, nice little run Only one pic from carlisle Then another train to wigton and off to the van for a relaxing weekend, need It after 5 hours on the train from derby to Wigton!
