Oh goody! The "friend" is back .

Yes, the time frame is a bit off putting. All of 27 and all of 28

Reminiscent of Tommy Tiernan at the back of the bus in Father Ted

Yes now that I think of it, what Paul @Mol_PMB and @west_clare_wanderer say makes perfect sense. I was messaging back and forth, without buying or selling anything. I suppose it could have been seen , by a bot , to be suspicious activity. The reason I was messaging in the first place was that I was asking the seller if he could do a single track version of the footbridge I wanted. (The answer was yes) Anyway good news. After emailing them last evening and asking a human to look into the matter, I received an email at 4.30am telling me, "Great news! Your suspension has been lifted". No explanation. I then received a second automated email five minutes later asking me to complete a survey as to how my recent experience with Ebay went. You couldn't make it up. So i am back in business anyway. Thanks for the replies.........

Hi lads, just wondering if this has happened to anyone else on here? I opened an Ebay account last Sunday, having never used the site before. I was trying to buy a footbridge from the seller that @Darius43 sourced his from for Whiterock. The seller and I were messaging back and forth until today when I was informed by email that my account was suspended- not giving any reason. I thought it was a scam at first, as they are looking for proof of identity, address etc. However it seems to be genuine alright. I have contacted their customer services by email and will probably hear back Monday. Very frustrating, just wondering if it has happened anybody else.

Hi @Noel Noel, great to see you back on here, and that things in your private life are more positive than when you were last on. Glad to hear your house has been rebuilt. It must have been an absolute nightmare

Lads, someone needs to say it. Whiterock is being hijacked.Mods need to move a lot of these posts. I mean there is going off topic, but this is ridiculous

Oh yes Jonathan @jhb171achill. I realise it's originally a real photo. It's just when I looked quick it looked very staged

When I saw the first pic, I thought for a second, it was of a model layout. The 3 lads at railside look very posed. Probably just me..............

Thanks very much @Uli for the link to the bushes and trees. I will definitely be getting some. Was considering making my own with floral wire and flock/leaves etc but don't think I need to now. Thank God!

It sure does, in my world anyway

Absolutely great work @Uli. Beautiful layout. Do you mind me asking you where you got the flowering shrubs? (The green bushes with what looks like white flowers). They really look the part, along with the trees

The close ups are pretty unforgiving. I found the moulded windscreens didn't quite fill the gap between the roof and dashboards. So I stuck a strip of glazing offcut along the bottom of each windscreen. It looked okay to my eye but the close ups tell the sad truth. I may try to put them right- and then again I might not bother. They look fine on the layout- the old two foot rule and all that.

Finally, buses.........
