Just bought this

[VEGAS]

Hi Dave.

Gorgeous isn't it?

Although with a baby due in a matter of days I think I'd be very much in the Barry White with Mrs Vegas if I bought this one.

I think this one is gonna fetch good money.

Never even heard of this model maker.

It is mate.. I really think so. It looks 'real'.. I can't say any more than that

I see where you're coming from with the 'Good Lady' though. Their hormones are all over the place at the best of times but particularly so when they're about to 'drop' (excuse the lower deck slang) The current Mrs B was as good as gold right up to time her waters broke and panic set in. I then got a barrage of abuse about not wanting to go with her to hospital (note the pub was open and I was cooking at the time!) towit she knew I was going to finish what I was doing, close the kitchen and follow some 30mins behind her
Wait until she's screeming and well under the influence of gas and air then tell her you've bought it!

I'll try that mate. I'll sneak off whilst at the hospital and buy it from my iphone. She'll never know.

Or stand there with the mask in your hand asking her 'nicely' if you can have it

Knowing my missus she'd grab me round the throat and snatch the mask off me.

Better watch out, at the time of childbirth they have the strength of Hercules.

She'll make this clear as she hold hands and thanks you for putting her in this situation...or something like that

Hope you have all the bits and pieces ready...pram ,pushchair, baby clothes, nappies, babies first weathered locomotive.........

Seriously....all the best to both of you and give her my good wishes

[VEGAS]

Cheers Garry.

She finishes work tomorrow for a whole year!

She's glad because she's not a happy bunny right now. Swollen feet and hands, weeing every 3 minutes, little sleep, kicked and punched by the alien frequently!

However, we are all set at home.

Nursery painted. All baby bits and pieces stored and ready. Cot/Buggy/Chair&carrier all in place.

Just need a smooth labour now. She's bricking it. Quite understandably. Its our first one so its all new.

I'll be there for her every step as the birthing partner. Even though I've got the easy bit!

[Garry Russell]

Yeah

Right at the end it gets a bit much but it's all soon forgotten when you get the little bundle in your hands

Hi Eddie,

All the best to you both with the upcoming Project!!

Thats a great looking Loco, i have not taken a lot of notice with the model railway scene of late but the company Heljan were in my opinion one of the best at making buildings back in the 70/80's for European HO but i had not seen thier Loco's but of course with these firms today being taken over it could be any company, out of interest i'll have a look on the net.

Cheers,

Roger.

PS, i have just had a quick look Eddie and the loco is still made by the Danish Company Heljan so it should be a good model i would think.

Hi Roger.

Thanks for the well wishes.

As for the loco I had I little google session myself regarding that model company.

They certainly look like they put together some great looking models.

The only ones I'd ever heard were of course Hornby and Lima. Probably the most recognised here in the UK

I'd love to buy this one but I have to think of others now not just me.

Anyway I think Dave B fancies it.
