Happy birthday.  All the best Geddy

I spent 5 years working in a model shop from the ages of 16 to 21.  There's buggar all I don't know about model railways lol

Mind you things might have changed a bit since then.

Yep, it'll never be finished.  But it's quite good to think "right, I'm sorting the coal drops and staithes tonight" - so I start after work at 4, and before you know it, shit it's 12, and I've got to be up in 6 hours etc.!

Wish I had more skills though to create paper mache and paint it decent.  Mine looks like it's been done by a 3 year old with Crayola crayons.........

After an absence of about 40 years, finally got back into 00 guage.

In fact, devoted an entire room to it.

9 foot by 5 foot baseboard.

Style is the NER, around the 1950's, so mainly steam shunters, coal trucks, branch lines, but also a hint of early diesels.

Spent the last 3 weeks, every day sorting it.  Now can anyone sell me a new back, cos mine is fucked.

Oh so another scummy tramp making profit off Chris's hard work. Absolute grade 1 cunt,fucking sick of these thieves now, stealing all our work to include with the emulators...

Bloody hell, looks like they could be including John Parker's arcade simulator as well...

Yeah that's what caught my eye.

It's people that buy that are not fully educated, now it is 100 quid for different bundles, thought it was only £13.99 before, he has certainly stepped up, we just have to keep hammering it out to people out there. Dragged in a few members from Reels who are new to the scene and will also point them to here and DIF, only way to win is beat fire with fire, that's how I'm dealing with it now, heated exchanges are getting everyone nowhere.
