Long Bugger? :shock: Does this refer to the length of the Morwenstow Riverside layout?:?: Frank

........although I suppose it strengthens the 'stop' message. Mind you I'm not sure how you'd procede if even if it showed clear! :lol: http://www.kenbaker.fotopic.net/p19956251.html Frank

One thing I would add to Craig's post is that if you use the 'direct connection by network cable' method, make sure you use a crossover cable. Also instead of moving all required files to the 'shared files' folder you could temporarily make the whole C: drive on the old computer a shared...

I think you'll find that statistically this statement is incorrect and that under 21's are the age group most likely to be involved in road accidents. This isn't of course to say that ALL under 21 year olds are worse drivers than any other age, any more than ALL over 70's are. I don't really...

On the subject of different coloured tickets, how many of you younger members can remember seeing these? I found these here on a site which seems to have been abandoned since early 1998. Frank

I don't know about the South East franchise but it looks as though they have already taken over Anglia from 'one'! :lol: Frank

In case anyone's interested in having a peek I thought I'd mention that I've just added some photos to the site, all taken last Saturday around London. http://www.the-siding.co.uk/latest.php Frank

91023 wasn't overhauled simply because it survived more than once. All the 91s were overhauled and then renumbered. Having said that they all simply had 100 added to their original number except 91023 which for some reason, as you say, became 91132. Frank

Well, I wasn't going to mention what the fright of seeing you made her do on the roof! But since you started it.....! Frank

Little stunner isn't she? Not really my type though. Well...... what were you expecting to see?!! :lol: Frank

I don't know mate. Some of those terms pre-date even me! :) I've never even heard of the 'My Lordz' one. However I did find this rather amusing definition of a gricer. It comes from www.geoffspages.co.uk :- Frank

Where did you get the time machine Jim? I see your latest collection was taken some time in the future! :lol: Frank

Excellent photos there Yorkie. You can just 'feel' the atmosphere in some of them. I know many of the younger members appreciate you organising these meets and are always looking forward to the next one, so well done and keep up the good work! Frank

Believe me, if he had he'd have made sure you knew about it by insisting I put his name under them! :lol: Frank

Whoops! Thanks for pointing that out. Not sure how that happened! Should be ok now. The latest pictures are here:- http://www.the-siding.co.uk/latest.php Frank

I've have just uploaded some new pictures to the site. These were taken on a recent trip to Derbyshire and include a visit to the Great Central Railway. (Thanks to Jamie for the guided tour of the sheds). There are also a few taken at the East Kent Railway last weekend. Frank

Three seconds?!! Blimey, I didn't think your old camera was that bad. Don't try taking any HSTs at full pelt. You'd have to press the button when you heard the train approaching in the distance. :lol: Frank

I remember recently seeing a poster (I think it was at Kidderminster station) which 'named and shamed' people who had been fined for fare evasion. As I remember the majority were between 20 and 30 although the age varied wildly right up to old codgers like myself. (Not that I'm a fare evader I...
