I don't think Cecil was refering to the SLR there Ian, although that has given me a new idea for railcar destruction! I have a radio controlled plane, why don't I try bombing Bluebottle!!!!

You could fly in on it like they do with the boats at Scarborough!

The plane is fairly indestructable (don't ask me how I know

) and as im rubbish at flying it perhapes I should just aim it at the railcar when it decides to crash (which it does often) on the basis the railcar will come off worse
laalgoering lol

I've got an idea. You know how SLRmidge's line has got lots of ponds with rail bridges over them. Well, why don't we build a model Avro Lancaster, make a bouncing bomb, and carry out a repeat of the dambusters raid in 1/19th scale.

Talking about the dambusters, peter jackson's making a remake of the 1950's film, and is making it as historically accurate as possible, apart from the dog with the racist name.

I can't remember who, but someone told me about that, they sold a RAF Ferguson TEA20 tractor to the film people for use in the film. Im looking forward to seeing the new version, the old one was a little naff with the rolling backgrounds behind the mock up Lanky, so with new technology, they should be able to make it fantastic.

Anyway, if they want to have it historically correct, they should keep the "racist" name for the dog, in WW2, people weren't bothered about that sort of c**p then. But hey, I suppose it would be allowed to be shown if there was a dog with a racist name in it...

The old dambusters film is one of my favorate war films, even with the rubbist special effects, so the new film should be great.

That must be the worlds most hated diesel. I watched the PTLR diesel gala trailer on youtube and watched it with the seniors in my school (who understand me) and I said "Aaaaarrrgggghhh! it's the evil railcar!".
