I hope you have embraced rubbish sorting in your household.

You know the drill: cardboard boxes should go in the recycle bin if you can't use them again - only the Atlas freight cars in the landfill bin…...

I think we may need another one of those pointless tabs on our titles, how about 'Riff Raff' ........I think my now silent threads qualify too

Thanks, tea now on the keyboard and screen.

Does that come with the rivet counter tool as well ?

 

[westernfan]

beat me to it

 

[SimonT]

So is this the SBB but no photos thread?

 

[Ressaldar]

and there was me wondering what had caused my computer to stutter and 'hang' during an update last night when I (tried to) switch off and it was Jorders all the while..........

cheers

[Neil]

Huh.... that one doesn't even have a counter on it, to tell you how many you've done. .....

Then you need one of these ......



Don't worry, 39 is my lifetime total rather than this mornings.

Yeah, closely flllowed by a new Section, the WT Naughty Corner.

The working title isn't that polite

Can I refer the right honourable member to the forum ethos post, and the sentence including the words 'banal dross'.

 

[Brian Daniels]

I totally agree with you Jordan, especially if you want to model US in O scale you haven't got much choice but to buy RTR.

No one does kits of these beasts so Overland it had to be, Kerching! Plus a few other of their diesels I just had to bring back from O Scale shows over there.

 

[mickoo]

Mmmm, Dash 9, very tasty

Your right, virtually zero US modern outline kits that I've found and OOTB tends to be very Xmas tree toylike

Not having expendable cash for an Overland, I'll probably have to resort to scratch building or working up some CAD etches, which is of course at odds with the R-T-R philosophy

I don't think it's Jordan who is the honorable member in this case

 

[iploffy]

Waking up just long enough to report you Jorders via the report button you are not allowed to post anything bought from someone else and play with it straight away. That is not the NEW WT way and don't dare gloat over it.

Clearly such wonderful entertainment as the Back of the Class, Armchair Modeller magazine & so on were merely tolerated because I happened to be on Admin at the time.

I do hope that you are wrong. "Back of class" gives hope and "Armchair Modeller" is a piece of brilliant writing.
I recollect a recent post which remarked that many comedy/humorous/satirical comments have a short term relevance and that comment could well be so for later posts to the armchair.

 

[Neil]

Yes, I got it...

No, they were appreciated because they were part of the forum ethos. While most of the time we took our trains seriously, we didn't necessarily take ourselves seriously. I'd hope that we can return to such a happy state as soon as possible.

Banal Dross I think it was called, not exactly a hopeful tag is it.

Never take yourself seriously, no one else ever does, I was told that when I was an apprentice by a very old fitter and never a truer word spoken
