    Would a left-footed one be better?

    Fair enough. Usually sat on 'em - drinking tea and eating biscuits.

    Would it even be big enough?

    There will be a special edition in yellow, for those with an obsession for track maintenance machines?

    Apparently, the Universe is infinite. There will be planets out there that already have turf-burners. Fact!

    Look on the bright side, not everybody has a special day for themselves....

    What was the nature of the turf used? Was it variable 'hand-won' sods or more regular machine-turf? Or even milled peat, perhaps? Is there a suitable 1/76th scale product available, or will you be able to provide a specialist substance? Turf is not like coal, where you can just crush it to a suitable size. I spent several days cutting a sod into several thousand blocks, only to find that it isn't a stable material at those sizes. Obviously, there will also need to be a specialist smoke oil.

    In the real world, straight track is much easier to put down and there would generally need to be a reasonable reason for curving things.

    Nothing is risk-free.

    Get a new one? The internet is full of adverts...

    I wonder if there could be a facility for invoices/receipt to show the goods as bulk purchases of washing powder, lawn mower spares, etc. This could make things easier for those under domestic pressures. Obviously, for fertiliser wagons, it just needs a few omissions for 'her' to think that the purchaser is actually behaving as instructed.

    Chinchilla fur is a bit awkward if you get it wet. They much prefer to bathe in dust - you can get it from pet suppliers. Usually a dry clay powder.

    We're beginning to go round in circles here now - or, more accurately, ovals.

    Oh, cheers - actually, if you're buying, I'll have an advocaat, thanks.

    My eyes have glazed over.

    Normally called a pin chuck, pin vice or pin vise - that one above is a real beauty! The rotating cap makes things much easier to control. There are many such things available, i.e. - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EXPO-75070-PIN-VICE-with-a-3-jaw-chuck-that-holds-drill-sizes-0-1mm-to-2-5mm/312043854480?epid=782164257&hash=item48a7435a90:g:fqMAAOxyxpxQ5gEW

    Omelettein' this slide, it could go on into Fry-day otherwise and I just won't whisk it. I'm beaten now.

    I wonder what projects they'll be hatching next? I'm sure that they have plans laid.

    If it brings them out of their shells, it's got to be worth trying.

    You really shouldn't turn such a serious matter into a yolk.

    I had the opportunity to have a look round the premises there a few years ago - a very impressive set-up.
  23. Broithe
    Indeed, we find ourselves in kinder times now. Oh, hang on....

    On BBC Radio 4's I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue, they had a round for completing modern versions of proverbs. As mad as... ...a phone-in caller.

    It would be interesting to have a ball-park figure for the relative costs per kilometre for tram-lines and underground railways. Tram stops are fairly cheap to provide - an underground station is a whole other scenario. Whether people like it or not, it's all about cost/benefit in the end. Even in the UK with its horrendous urban traffic conditions, there are only underground systems in three places outside London. Newcastle, Glasgow and Liverpool. I note that Enniscorthy has an underground railway, but I've never been able to find the entrance to the station escalator...
