DX bogie sides: Last Call for Eye Candy

DB Says: Well, look what the mailman bought me today... fifty sets of these:
Huh? Bogies, loads and loads of bogies. Note the thinner main frames, proper 'round' cylinders and freestanding brake linkages (click on the following pic for full effect):A bit of an improvement over the prototypes.

The majority of the pile in the first pic will be in the mail on Monday heading to paid-up members of the DX-bogie-side club on a first-paid first-served basis (payment instructions within)
I ordered almost enough for everyone as I'm not stupid enough to plop all that money down to be left with a load of leftovers. Be in or ...not!

Wish I had a mailman that would buy me stuff!

what is this "english language" you speak of?


'firosion' - erosion caused by fire.

Ah, yes. I have figured it out. You explain ostensibly extravagant model railway purchases to SWMBO by claiming that the mailman bought them for you...very clever! ;)

Despite being exceptionally clever at Acronyms, can someone please explain SWMBO to me please? Obviously its the missus....but how?

google came up with 'She Who Must Be Obeyed'...

and what a coincidence, the word today is: 'hossiss' is this like mississ but... ?

Hossis is the missus you have to pay by the hour for.

SWMBO - She Who Must Be Obeyed originally coined by H Rider Haggard in 'She" but popularised by the the immortal Rumpole of the Bailey (John Mortimer)

Don't you learn a lot when talking about trains
