  1. I think that you've just hit the nail on the head, albeit slightly evasively. Values don't need to be monetary or economic, but it may very well be that as people get richer, and quicker, they find it more and more difficult to value anything from a non-monetary perspective. And the inability to value things goes hand in hand with diminishing virtues. Then we spiral downward, vanishing virtues and values, into vices and vitriol. Boom, love this! Absolutely perfect, for almost every challenge we come across, whether generational or interpersonal. So easy to forget in the moment, yet so crucial!
  2. I'm picking Punjanaaaa... That's picking the finest tea!
  3. Several generations, actually. Ten years ago, I went from thinking that the generation twenty years younger than me were "the" problem, to thinking that every generation has it's miscreants. They may present themselves differently due to the era that they grew up in, but at their core, they're the same. So no, I don't think that progress is to blame for these miscreants.
  4. ICR's bring out the worst in people? Or a lack of values being taught when kids are at a formative age?
  5. Why is there so often a negative response to progress? X, Y or Z is new or different, so it's bad. Railcars, mobile phones, IKEA, AI, social networks, whatever. Not saying that progress is always great - my bugbear is touch-screens vs. physical keyboards and predictive text vs. knowing how to spell. I much prefer a mobile with a physical keyboard and I don't like predictive text. So, I'm not without my own bias, it's just that this forum has such a negative angle on things so often. Also not a big fan of social media as it seems to be removing the ability to think critically from people... I saw it on Tik Tok so it must be true. Just, lighten up, guys, progress isn't always bad. ICR's are awesome, mobile 'phones are awesome, cars are awesome, AI is awesome, and IKEA is frikkin' awesome!
  6. Quick, delete that @WRENNEIRE, or the "trains are meant to be played with" crew will come around and open all of the boxes!
  7. Move over, GoPro, it's GoPride time!
  8. Looks like a WEC Lines container sitting in the middle of the Refinery:
  9. The Hatton's website / database will live on via Rails of Sheffield: https://railsofsheffield.com/blogs/news/rails-hattons-faq
  10. Does that mean that we can get stuff for free at the shows???
  11. Free bump! I think that you need to put specific prices for each item to avoid the post being removed.
  12. At least with IRM and Accurascale, we know that we can almost bank on re-runs every couple of years, so we only have to pay the gouger’s prices if we desperately want the model right now. Incidentally @BosKonay, have the excess unsold units already been released into stock, or is that yet to happen?
  13. The 3600 with a Jada Toys Supra just now:
  14. At a guess, either the Hornby Mk2D or Airfix Mk2 ones?
  15. You're an Achill Bogie!
  16. How about some IRM Hino's?
  17. Mmmmmaybe run a few extra RTC Mk2B twinpacks next time! https://www.ebay.es/itm/204683569650
  18. Is that a Tayto van stripped naked?
  19. I, too, was tempted to do so... 1982 DAF 3600 SpaceCab from Road Kings: https://cochesdemetal.es/1982-camion-daf-3600-spacecab-naranja-azul-118-road-kings-180094
  20. Brilliant idea! Is the colour coding an indicator of the order things are likely to arrive in? So Bulleids and IR Mk2B/C's next?
  21. Some interesting formations in there!
