I could arrange for them to turn yellow...

Was it on a link? I can't get many of the links, they all seem to be restricted in the UK

I just meant the one I played at GC nearby a few days ago.

Shame on you!! Thank you, I will have a listen in the morning when I have time to, it's TV time now

I do like Rod Stewart, not that disco stuff he did but much anything else.

That train set of his is something else, apparently he takes all his tools on the road with him and sits in his hotel room/suite making buildings when he's not working or spending time with the family

Model Railroader magazine has done a few feature articles on him and his layout. Yes, he takes his tools with him and works on things in his down time. Pretty cool.

I've only seen one photo of his layout, is that the right word? Incredible, if I was younger and had the room I would love to create something of that nature, I can't say "like that" because I couldn't

Here is how I spent my morning...

It gets warm enough to go barefoot in Canada?

Who knew?

"Layout" is the correct term for one's model RR empire, however large or small. One of the channels on the local cable system runs a show called "Steel Wheels" which features mostly UK train shows and display(operating)layouts. British Rail(if that's the right name) equipment looks really odd to us, esp. steam engines. Over here, most of the piping, etc., is on the outside of the boiler, making it look very "busy", while UK steam looks sorta "naked" with "the works" concealed.

A little bit of what I'm working on, it's 1960's prototype flat car with end bulkheads, there's a few commercial parts for the brake system, the rest is structural styrene.

I'd classify it as "lying by omission", but hey... excrement occurs. You've got an amazing platform to build on

That’s why buying on TB is first choice if you can’t play it before buying. Lying by omission seems tb be generally frowned upon.

That is good work, really tidy

This is the Apollo launch pad I've been playing with over the winter, not in the same league but I enjoy it. The white base is just to stabilise the tower, it will come off eventually

Finally I strung my Bird with GHS flats, sound is so delicious, here is Rebel Rebel cover so you can hear it, I'm playing on neck pickup.

I always liked him (I pretty much like anything Scottish, even hagis and Biffy Clyro). Disco Rod pretty much sucked though, except for his version of Forever Young.

That is extremely cool.

I have a lot of respect for scale modelers. Takes patience and dedication. And an eye for detail.

Back when I was in bands in the seventies/early eighties, that was pretty much the only Bowie our bands did (much to my chagrin). Nice job.

I keep getting these pop-up ads from some woman named Ashley Madison. She’s telling me that my life is too short.
Does she know something that I don’t?
Should I be worried?

In my flatbedding days(trucking), I did a delivery to Cape Canaveral right out to the active launch pad. I did have an escort and, after removing the chains and straps, was encouraged to stay in the truck.(I did)
