Model Forum / General / Railroads / May 2010Thomased.
I recently bought a tidy little Thomas model to act as life support for my J83. When it arrived I cleaned it up and ran it on the DC test track. My wife walked in and had a conversation and then went about her business. 8 days later she announced that she had a present for me -- I am now the proud owner of the Haines manual for Thomas! Clearly there is no way in which I can do other than keep it in a prominent place or is there? " Welcome to the Haynes Thomas the Tank Engine Manual! See how Thomas works, how his Driver operates him and how Thomas is kept in tip-top condition. Meet some of Thomas' friends and find out more about the Sodor Railway ................. Aimed at the 3–7 age group " Is your wife trying to tell you something ? Anything with Haynes manuals are, in my humble opinion, 1st class and worth every penny. http://www.haynes.co.uk/thomas/ If you ever get the chance to go to their museum then I strongly you suggest you go ! " keep it in a prominent place or is there? " My advice is to do just that .... next time she might buy you a loco ! > Anything with Haynes manuals are, in my humble opinion, 1st class and > worth every penny. They do a jolly interesting one for a Lancaster bomber, certainly.

They also do one for A Baby... My son has found it very useful: reference to it has stopped his missus being so dogmatic about what is "right for baby" in the way that women tend to be.

I have been amused watching my offspring with theirs. First baby appeared to have been made of glass, and was handled by the book, lots of things written down, charts & things. Last one seems to be made of india rubber, and is looked after with a casualness that contrasts very strongly. Of course, that's just experience showing, but it still amuses. You have to forgive the distaff staff. They come in for a fair bit of criticism if anything goes wrong.

Erm, er, why?? > They come in for a fair bit of > criticism if anything goes wrong. It's usually their fault, so that's fair enough. I've found a quiet "Yes, dear." solves all problems. I think she worked out some time ago that for the past <mumble> years I've been saying it while on autopilot. <g> SignatureDave, Frodsham http://dave-jackson.fotopic.net > The message > <19b80707-b98c-4dfe-910c-2ab789bf790b@q23g2000vba.googlegroups.com> [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > out some time ago that for the past <mumble> years I've been saying it > while on autopilot. <g> Been trying to teach my son that for ages now. Modify for circumstances, works with all authority figures - teachers, parents, ladies..... Saves years of hassle and the number of points gained ! cheers, Simon > The message > <c14a22d0-3577-4c09-bfa8-46f04390c...@y21g2000vba.googlegroups.com> [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > reference to it has stopped his missus being so dogmatic about what is > "right for baby" in the way that women tend to be.
