Always appreciate someone who has a way with words :) Just have to chime in here. My Dad (who had a warped sense of humour, bless his soul) once offered DH and I an aperitif. Oh yes, thank you we replied. So round the corner of the door he presented us with 'a pair of teeth' - his false teeth chomping away on his hand. :-) Cheers, Shirley T. - enjoying the cool, wet weather but help, the shortest day is not far away then we climb back into summer.

Re: [lace-chat] Locomotive
Yes, Jean, that is the way I think of them also. It's been years since I have ridden either kind. Lorri Yes, I know, but aren't the electric and diesel ones boring!

In message [EMAIL PROTECTED], Jean Nathan [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes Yes, I know, but aren't the electric and diesel ones boring! Actually, I think my inherent dislike of diesel locos is probably half related to Dad's tales of his track laying days - after he came out of the army at the end of WW2, he worked for a time laying track on and around the East Coast Main Line - Peterborough, Oundle, etc (not far from where his step-grandfather had been signalman at Greatford Gate Box, sadly now just an automatic barrier as the box and cottage, one either side of the road were demolished) - Jacqui in Stamford (where Dad and my siblings were born) will probably know where I mean, but anyone travelling from London to York by train will most likely use this route. He related the tales of watching Mallard and Flying Scotsman passing by, and how dirty he thought the diesels were when they came in. By the time I was born in the mid 50s he was working for Metropolitan Cammel in Birmingham, as a sheet metal worker building railway carriages. Is it really surprising that I'm interested in trains!!! Add to that that frequently the diesel and diesel electrics are late running, whereas you go on a steam charter and arrive early (unless your running time is delayed by having to wait for a service train to pass!). Once, going over to Norfolk early on a Saturday, we were delayed at Peterborough due to the breaks on one of the carriages running hot... with a fair proportion of the blokes in the carriage being railway enthusiasts (I think they were going to Bressingham) within a few minutes we had decided that it would have been far better in the days of steam, they would have got the station pilot out and we wouldn't have had such a delay! To me locomotive is the romantic steam train, which brings back memories of childhood family outings. The electric and diesel ones are just boring 'engines' which just transport me from place to place. The only real advantage is that you can sit with a suitable height table and travel pillow and make lace whilst you travel! -- Jane Partridge To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: [lace-chat] Locomotive
Oh I love locomotives...I have miniature ones that run on miniature tracks...mine are collectables since they were made when I was a child (and I am NOT young) Mostly Lionel, but I do have have my Grandfather's American Flyer. I am not sure what gauge that is but the Lionel is 027. I want the Lionel's Hogwart's Express Train set that is now currently for sale. It is just sooo cool and I am a terrible Harry Potter fan.
