I hate Christmas, people start getting all jolly and friendly, worse than smelling of dog, smells of bulls**t. Bring back the 364 days of miserable despair and hopelessness............I don't like change!!

New subject! Just to make of you steam train fanatics jealous. Now the flying Scotsman is back in steam I thought you might like to know. As a small boy back in the early 40's I travelled on trains pulled by said engine travelling south out of Newcastle. I also got to stand on the footplate whil...

John. As you no doubt know I now live in Kettering Northants. Plus we stopped having a daily paper approx. 3--4 years ago. The weekly one that replaced it is useless and all the news is old news. Not to worry though I still have happy memories. I know we had to change trains somewhere down the line...

Flying Scotsman was a rare visitor to the North Eastern Region in my 'spotting days' as it had earlier been transferred from Kings Cross to Leicester to work trains on the Great Central line between the East Midlands and Marylebone. All the A3 class, of which Flying Scotsman was one, had been displ...

Cheers Algi. If My memory serves me right they were Sinclair. One of his first products. CHEERS Vic. Liz got me one for Christmas 1973 IIRC, Strap was too small so took it back. Think Kojack set the trend for them must have got a complimentary :)

only ever fell asleep on the train back from Perth (WA). Missed my stop, got to Mandurah (end of line), got the return train, fell asleep again, missed my stop, woke up one stop up the line, got off and waited for the last train heading South..... well chuffed and by then, nearly sober.....

Coming home from my regular night shifts in Newcastle (many years ago) I've ended up all over the county after falling asleep. In the end I found one bus that terminated in Sacriston then came back to the depot in Chester le Street, so I made a certain point of getting on it.

Hello everbody. Long time no type! Been spending the last few weeks moving muck around the back garden. We rent a plot of land from the electric people, they came and replaced the sub-station gubbings, so the garden got, er, wrecked. The result was a new layout which meant 12 railway sl...

I don't do painting Gwyn, that's Mrs HG's job. She's been a star in the garden despite spiking her thumb knuckle in a carelessly dropped garden fork. She dropped the fork so..:roll: ...she got sympathy though, there was blood! she's currently sat nursing a sore thumb drinking the tasty Polish ...

I hope Mrs HG's thumb is better soon it sounds nasty. Vic are you supposed to drink that or rub it on the sore bits?:lol::lol: Clearly painting is women's work :roll: :D. His Nibs painted one small patch of wall and complained about how much his back ached. I have painted an entire metal sta...

I feel for you Gwyn. We are back at the start, one year on. Why did we get a dog that thinks and never sleeps....

It was necessary Gwyn, else you would not have gone through with it. I went through it with a cat (more the wife & kids pet than mine). It had to be done and I yarped all the way back from the vets. It was still better than the cat suffering.

Didn't know about the Durham Regatta Barrie. That said, I didn't know that the Raptor Fair is on this weekend at Duncomb Park until I saw the posters around Helmsley yesterday. Just pondering if I should go back today??????

I had some important things to look at on our club blog last night. My pc was running very slow ( unusable ) so I went to the cathedral to chill out. It was still slow at 9pm, I remembered Gwen's comment so left it running all night. At 6:30 this morning I started to check things out, by 8:30 things...

Are you all on your hols? These days East Anglia is warm and fine. The evenings are great: sitting out with a glass of something, a bag of nibbles and a good book. The battered old straw hat is no longer needed now that the back yard is in the shade. How was the Whitby regatta? Martin
