Well, maybe he'll scrap the lot instead for the steel to make another tower block - save him having to buy in cheap Chinese steel!
-
A great thread full of info - should definetely be 'stickied' so it stays close to the top of the Workbench section for future reference
-
Lovely job on both the wagon & the container!
-
I remember the very same about the gangways when I was a kid - late 70s/early 80s. Loved it! I can remember the first day of the Dart - probably the only thing I liked about the Dart was pushing the button after it lit up to open the doors!
-
Ah sure 'The Donald' will sort that out - don't you know he's going to make America great again?
-
Didn't people bash the Dart before it was launched?

Snow tourists in Chelsea tractors should be banned

I heard one lad in the canteen today recounting his tale to others of how on Saturday, he got into his car 'just to go for a drive'. Utter gobshite. He went on to say how he couldn't even get out of his estate. Midlands based I think. -
Just bear in mind that it isn't an insured service. They managed to lose a watch on my dad - got successfully delivered to Addresspal in St. Albans, but then disappeared
-
were they ever even made?

Yep - same here. Very enjoyable watching to round off the weekend. Simple idea running the loco backwards up the hill to stop the water going into the cylinders. I like seeing the problems, and how they overcome them
-
You gotta love the Russians playing with the UK like that - hail hail!!
-
Judging by the state of the loco in the picture, it had more than a couple of 'offs' over the course of the trip!
-
Me too - the appeal of long runs, or a large depot etc would be possible in N with the space most of us have available, unlike OO.

Just a heads up that on Channel 4 at 8pm tonight, starts a five part series on building a model railway in O gauge, to run from Fort William to Inverness. http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/scotland-now/the-biggest-little-railway-world-11785187

I may do - I'll have a root round this evening when I get home from work -
Stunning! The blue & cream is a lovely livery - a big improvement on the all blue with yellow stripe. I hope to pickup a set on the Munster Double tour
-
Yep - big stout steel frame either side of a bridge at the level of the bridge would do it. I like your idea for the retractable bollards for LCs, only this would be very very expensive & time consuming to do
-
Overpriced & overhyped junk - 'Emperor's New Clothes' comes to mind. Steve Jobs wasn't exactly a nice person either apparently
-
Oooh - so the new Apple X can be unlocked by facial recognition ey? So can my Russian designed Yotaphone2, which came out in 2014 http://www.bbc.com/news/av/business-41254093/apple-suffered-an-embarrassing-failure-during-its-iphone-demo

You are paying for the badge, and to be part of the 'club'. Certainly not for the best tech currently available! Also, it is a disgusting amount of money for a phone https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/09/12/apple_could_improve_iphonex_iphone/ https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/09/12/apple_our_stores_are_your_town_square_and_a_1000_iphone_is_your_future/

You could try here for a replacement motor also: http://diesel-trains.co.uk/Lima_replacement_motor_kits.html or use an old cdrom drive motor even!:

Came across these vids on a youtube session. Some seriously poor track conditions, on a most likely very lightly used branch line in the US. The line is the Maumee and Western Railroad in Cecil Ohio. The first one looks like a derailment is inevitable! The Burma Road would be in better shape I reckon update on the line above: same line again:
