QUOTE: Originally posted by steveblackledge just been in hospital for an operation which gives me some time to surf the web for a few weeks, it's also given me chance to sell some stuff and buy some new stuff. I have been bitten by the Broadway Limited imports bug, it's got a good hold now, i think it's incurable. Had a good meal at our local pub tonight, they call it the Mega Grill, the meal not the pub, consists of the following:- Beaf steak, pork steak, Lamb, cumberland sausage ( thats a curly wurly looking sausage) mushrooms, two fried eggs, fried tomatoes, A Black pudding ?( it's a pigs intestine stuffed with all the leftover bits that don't go to the dog food factory, a good dose of blood to give it it's distinct black colour), VERY NICE, all this is fried then served on a hot cast iron dish, when you get it it's spitting hot, served with chipped potatoes and onion rings with a pint of real ALE not fizzy lager beer
I'm back!

QUOTE: Originally posted by Railroading_Brit Jim, thanks for the kind words - I'll look at getting larger photos onto the site, still trying to figure out their "Easy Website Builder" software (quite remarkably awful to be honest, if I could write decent HTML I'd build it myself instead!), think I may have picked the wrong page template as there were others with (presumably) larger images available.
QUOTE: Originally posted by JimRCGMO Nick, your layout looks like should provide some interesting switching for you (not a modified Timesaver, is it?). Good idea about that ‘recycled’ baggage car/shed - I have some of the old MDC/Roundhouse kits that use boxcars/tank cars/etc. to make storage sheds and fueling tanks. Plus with recycled cars, you can do all kinds of weathering, rust, dents, etc.
QUOTE: Originally posted by steveblackledge it's an aquired Lancashire taste, Black pudding, it's a lot stronger tasting than a hot dog, with much more blood content, I had a bit of a lump (apple size) removed from under my eyes in the rear sinus cavitys, bit painfull for a week but getting better now, it's not spoiled my appitite though.
