    Let's do it RDS, could get a bit boring 😆
  2. walkingthedog
    I give that advice so often I'm beginning to think I should publish it as a book. 😆
  3. walkingthedog
    No need to be a mastermind 😉
  4. walkingthedog
    No it wasn't a mistake it was to get a reaction. 😆
  5. walkingthedog
    Not really Jacob. 140 quid for a wagon is a rip off. 😆 😆 I actually paid £65 for a brand new £150 loco.

    Dapol Class 52 Western Consort. Brand new only £650. Bargain. 😆

    I reckon a lot cheaper now. About ten times more expensive now but my wages were over 20 times higher now than 1975. Guess it depends on how much you get each month.
  8. walkingthedog
    I think locos were far more expensive compared to todays prices. We are going slightly off topic. We will be sent to our rooms.

    I was very happy. What year was Oliver Cromwell £12:50.
  10. walkingthedog
    I wonder what the mouth-watering wages were when they had the mouth-watering prices of locos? 😆 Look forward to seeing the pictures. In 1966 I was on £28 per month 😮

    Very useful tool. If they put it in with each model you could end up with lots of them. Finger nails work very well. Bachmann use the same plug/socket so you could end up with a tool box full 😆

    I really don't want to motorise them. I want to be able to move them if necessary. They are fine detailed HO kits and will look just fine as they are. 😆

    ....Motor from a mobile phone with the wobbler removed and a sleeve fitted to run an elastic band as the conveyor belt?? This is them. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/172267588184?_trksid=http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/172267588184?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

    No they're not motorised HB they are only about 1/4 inch wide. Would be good though.
  15. walkingthedog
    Yes good point HB. Apart from the Wickham Trolley I purchased a set of B'mann loco crew. Two of them are seated and I needed them for the trolley. I repainted them to look like workmen. I also bought a conveyer kit. You get two portable conveyers. I shall use one in the goods yard for loading open wagons and one next to the coaling stage for coaling small locos.

    Yes I know that Jacob, I was saying I don't even like Thomas days so I certainly wouldn't want to go on a Thomas holiday.
  17. walkingthedog
    Not for me I'm afraid. I don't like attending Thomas days at heritage railways. I'm sure you would enjoy it though.
  18. walkingthedog
    You could say the same for Superman, Robin Hood or Micky Mouse.
  19. walkingthedog
    Anywhere for real. He was in the imagination of the Reverend Awdry.
  20. walkingthedog
    I suppose as Thomas didn't really exist it would be difficult to prove they were the wrong size.
  21. walkingthedog
    Is that right Jacob, I wonder why they use OO wagons. Bit strange as they are mainly for the USA. Bet the Americans aren't very happy about that.
  22. walkingthedog
    The Bachmann Thomas range is HO so slightly smaller than Hornby.
  23. walkingthedog
    Jacob it's a joke. We are all little boys playing trains. She Who Must Be Obeyed = SWMBO = wife or partner.
  24. walkingthedog
    I buy from who ever makes what I want. I'm not loyal to any particular company.
  25. walkingthedog
    Yes they are. I have quite a bit of Bachmann stock.
