You clicked the size button 3 times. I could edit it but then your next post wouldn't make sense.
I have no Christmas decorations up, refuse to watch Christmas movies and have steak for dinner tomorrow.

Re: Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas for the morn everyone..
I hope you all have everything you want.
Hope you all have a good one, it'll be spring soon and we can then get back on with the motors proper
but stop it with the trains already, as a trackside and structures worker for a good amount of years, along with lookout and handsignalling duties, I can still only really tell which is the front and which is the back. Though I did work with one lad who could announce class and alsorts as they came into view on the horizon, he was the same with buses, could tell you bus type, seating capacity etc while still a speck in the distance.... bloody anorak... anyway, I will admit to admiring a little too fondly railway structures like bridges, you can't beat a nice lattice girder bridge you know... but not trains, never trains

Happy Chrimbo to all of you other soppy old gits and to Terry, who isn't old and to anyone else who read all the way to the end of this line.
As they say in the place of my conception, birth and first act of public love with an animal:
Lang may yer lum reek. Wi' some f**ker else's coal!

Re: Merry Christmas
Happy birthday and many happy returns Zipgun. Hard lucktoo: only one lot of pressys! There again, I only have two pressys at Christmas and none for my birthday in July!
Merry Christmas folks: I hope to get further with the living room revamp (skirting boards to paint and light fittings need attention). Yep, I'm on Terry's side - no decorations and, please, will people stop sending me cards!!
arceye, I only have one photo of a loco on Flickr and, as it isn't highly detailed (though modified) and the photo isn't terribly great, I'll just say it is fifty years old and has suffered some abuse over the years! Mind you, it's doing well - though has had a new chassis (and motor), tender (different type) and the body has been "superdetailed". How about a few classic cars instead?
