The GnATTERbox

At the risk of pointing out the B. obvious we have a virtual exhibition in the section marked... ahem, Virtual Exhibition. Put together by the now sadly departed Gerry Bullock it has been decimated by Photobucket changing their business model and depriving us of zillions of photos. There are, howeve...

Great stuff David. St. Petrox is a delight. We regularly visit Pembrokeshire and have walked around the Stackpole estate several times. Once we were lucky enough to see an otter there. It seems unimaginable now, but 20 odd years ago I was not that enamoured of Sir Arthurs locomotive designs. It was ...

Bill, I have the utmost admiration for yourself and all those who use track power. Your photos of lovely spaghetti show why. Back in the day, as a callow youth, my Triang-Hornby set was run through just the one set of leads to the track. I can’t really remember why I never took it further - probably...

Paul,

The publishers ship direct worldwide.

David,

See the thread immediately above this in Blether.

Cheers,

Money sent Tom.

As long as you're OK to keep the dirty oily bits of the Gnatterbox going I'm happy to chip in.

Cheers,

In the time that has drifted past while rail laying took a break the paddock has been reseeded as a wild flower meadow and the fence and gate between paddock and garden removed. The garden has also been redeveloped to have as many bee and insect friendly plants and shrubs as possible. So rather than...

Steve,

Things are stirring once more on the track laying front. I hope to (finally) report that Phase 1, i.e. the track plan previously posted, will be complete by no later than the end of March. How’s that for sticking the Stockers neck out? On top of that the presses are whirring in an attempt to get up ...

‘Perchance it sleepeth’ Goodness, where did those four and a bit years since the last post go? If you have kept an eye on the link by my signature you’d know that my Minimal Facebook group has been keeping me occupied since early 2014. There are now some 2600 members. Coo! On top of that the Scamp l...

Hi Paul, The Stockers is often wrong, SWMBO is not slow to keep him informed when such situations arise... :D I have to admit to be a little disappointed, but I still have a suspicion that the good burghers of the village are not as ‘good’ as the latest scene depicts. (And a very nice scene it is to...

Steve,

Mind arrived today, a present from myself. When you get to look at yours I think you’re going to like it...

Cheers,

Got an email yesterday to say my book is on its way.

A group member elsewhere had his about twenty minutes ago. Oh, the suspense...

Cheers,

Lovely. But hold on - with the exception of a couple of passengers (who look to be far too upright citizens to me) everyone else, including the driver, seem to be 'off stage' somewhere. My guess is that if we had sound we'd hear chatter, laughter and the clinking of glasses. Yes, the local hostelry ...

Hi Bill,

I’ve just popped back to the top of the thread and read it all through again. It’s all coming together very well.

Every time I read the word Rotaverser it makes me grin - both inspirational and amusing in one package, what more can one ask?

Cheers,

'It fits!'

Well Cinders aka Paul, looks like you are going to the ball. Great work.

Cheers,

I wondered where to post for a moment or two before deciding this chunk of the Gnatterbox was probably a reasonable spot. In recent years I have become rather fond of Peter Barnfield’s Whimshire drawings. Alas, he shuffled off this mortal coil last year. You can see more about them here: https://www...

Mike Decker, who did the drawings for the book, says the latest info he has is that it goes to the printers at the beginning of November.

Cheers,

Thanks Bill, that really helps to visualise it that much better. Onward!

Cheers,

Hi Bill,

Things are already looking interesting...

Unless I’ve missed it, I don’t think you’ve said what size these new and old chunks are, do say please.

Cheers,

Also looks like you need issue 97

Cheers,

Not what you’re looking for, but at least there are a bunch of photos. Note spelling appears to be L’ile.

peut etre?

I see what you did there.

Cheers,

Alas Chris, we are so much quieter nowadays.

For example, only twenty or so members have signed in since you first posted, so if they’re not clued up on what you ask...

Cheers,
