Tales from The Room of Doom. Dipping a toe in various bucolic backwaters.

Rob

Was that a sort of rapid unscheduled disassembly of your wallet…?

Nigel

Perhaps more appropriate to say that I experienced an unforseen redistribution of unavailable funds......

 

[David Hall]

You can get treatment for it, Rob.

I find the treatment is a spouse/partner/significant other.... that usually clamps down on such frivolousness!

Hi David.

Aha ! Now that is were the problem lies. The Memsahib is very tolerant of my railway modelling and essentially leaves me to it.

So, it's not my fault. It's down to a lack of supervision.

I’ve managed to convince mine that rental by the hour is a far more reasonable approach….

The hours cost more, but the years are far cheaper!

I just refer SHMBO to friends whose hobby is golf... Or perhaps Premier League football.

Spouse rental?


Oh - horses

 

[Pencarrow]

Lovely, very handsome. I do hope you pm’d a photo to young Pencarrot.

Well... If everything goes to plan, Sunday may see the long awaited arrival of something rather special at Pencarrow Towers. Spoiler.... It's not a Pannier.

 

[simond]

45xx & B set?

 

[Dog Star]

Merlin in an all-metal jacket?

 

[James Spooner]

Well, if it is special, presumably it has to have been designed by Gresley?

Something nicely weathered….?

 

[Flaxfield]

Morning all.

Well, as we approach Christmas, now seems to be a good time to wish everyone here the compliments of the season.



Thank you for taking the time to pop in.

The best of wishes to you all.

Rob.

 

[jonte]

Merry Christmas, Rob.

[Pencarrow]

Something nicely weathered….?

Yes, indeed and with a WW2 RAF connection...

 

[Dog Star]

Yes, indeed and with a WW2 RAF connection...

Yes indeed, as I wrote a few days back.... an all metal jacket home for a Merlin.

Well!

 

[Pencarrow]

Well!

No, not a Beastie Well Tank....
