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:

What an interesting deviation for a For Sale thread, in the For Sale section. The info posted on tram depots will of course be unfindable in the future, as noone will think of looking in a For Sale thread for info on tram depots.

because they know they'd get no government funding - US govt too busy pumping it into the military

Maybe start a seperate thread on cameras? Over half the posts in this thread on IRM ballast wagons are on cameras. Starting a new thread with a relevant title would make it easier for people to find the info in the future

I got myself a set - not a good idea to have a go yourself!

Like the saying 'a 20 footer' I think, but for smaller scales. E.g.- my car is a 20 footer - meaning it looks good from 20ft away, but when you get up close you see all the faults!

You could get thick strands of pure copper wire by stripping heavy duty cable (for cookers say) - there'd be no problem with solder taking to that

Experimental livery - IE Freight Grey Coaching stock
skinner75 replied to Noel's topic in Photos of Models
Interesting! On seeing the recent pic of 142 at Whitehead with the grey undercoat in parts,I imagined an 071 in freight grey, but with the white & tan band of the 141s original. Anyone handy at photoshop that could whip up this fictional livery to see how it'd look? -
Spare a thought for crew of CG rescue 116 heli

Sad news. May the crew RIP -
would it not have been a hell of a lot cheaper to install a few I-beam barriers up the road from the bridge? Let the trucks smash into them instead - easy to replace a damaged I beam, and the truck driver learns a lesson

stunning!

I picked up a copy of the book below. Each story is only a page or two long, but is a great read! https://www.amazon.co.uk/Railway-Ghosts-Phantoms-W-B-Herbert-x/dp/0715397834

probably a bag of cans on the deadmans switch! ;-)

Maybe he bought the Irish stock seperately & put them in this box?

Where can you buy the Mr Soundguy chips from? No links or shop on his own site

I plan to make it along - been dying to see inside the place since I moved down here 5 years ago!

A noisy team, a funeral, a cursing priest and 65 years
skinner75 replied to GSR 800's topic in Letting off Steam
Poor match I thought - plenty of loose passing straight to the opposition by both sides. Mayo missing that last point at the end of the match that could have taken them to extra time was criminal, as was Dublin missing the point just minutes beforehand. Give it another 65 years and try again Mayo
