Thanks. Some nice videos. I especially liked the Garratt.

Yeah, some model, eh? Radio-controlled, gas-fired and will haul the house down. It's named in honour of the model engineer who designed it, and just saw it into production before he died - the memorable Donald Pearse. His son Ian and his business partners run Accucraft UK.

Takes a strong man to wear a kilt properly on a winters day.

The best reply I ever heard to the question, "What does a Scotsman wear under his kilt?":

"Lipstick."

Gave me shivers. I blew pipes when I was 18, 19 and will never forget the thrill.
