Mmm, I think she has you figured out, though.....

Perhaps if we all sent her one each as well - she might come along and see if it's worth trading up?

They need to be manipulated with subliminal manoeuvres.. ..etc..

What about married couples who are courting (not necessarily each other)? Asking for a friend.

I think that picture was on a training weekend.

Panicking? No need to worry, take her for a romantic day out on an old railway line - because she's worth it. https://www.rte.ie/news/munster/2018/0212/940068-waterford-greenway/

Olfa (and others) make "plastic cutters" which are a much safer option than the standard 'Stanley knife' approach. They work by 'ploughing' a V-shaped groove which is then used to snap the sheet. Much less scope for personal damage....

It's not always drivers...

I don't remember seeing a price - it was all quite a blur - but, it might have been these people. https://dundasmodels.co.uk/webstore/index.php?option=com_hikashop&ctrl=product&task=show&cid=5788&name=county-donegal-style-railcar-type-2&Itemid=590&category_pathway=527 It's been there for the last few years, I might remember to ask next February...

And yet more.. And even more.. This little vignette was very impressive in 7mm.

General views. And some more

This was all there was for 'us'. I'm always interested in the fiddle yards.

Some pictures. The winning layout was essentially two excavators, shifting a pile of sand around via a small hopper train - mesmerising and surrounded by a crowd all day. Breedon. A supreme example of landscaping.

His dad might turn up with that bloke from the Park.

Has anybody told the Sunday World?

The ambulance is booked - with an additional fluid capacity for real emergencies.

I will probably just miss it - I should be passing up the quay at about half six on the Tuesday morning, so I might still see some of the aftermath. As for new models, I'm just going to wait for the N gauge live steam turfburner,

There's definitely a prize one....

You could, with sufficient space, try this sort of thing and have a sort of bi-directional fiddle yard and scope for circular running.

And handy for the Guards, if it all kicks off..

How did I miss this? I do follow on FB, so maybe I'm just confused... There is a hint of Stradbally about all this..

As daft as flinging the car up is, I suppose the idea is to get people 'interested'. It was a test of a vehicle that you can't really try out gently round an empty car park and maybe a 'serious' payload wasn't worth the risk? We have come to rely on earth-orbit satellites for a lot of daily life, not just GPS and re-runs of old TV programmes. The fact that stuff has become commonplace and a bit boring is often a sign of great progress. Airliners still fly at much the same speeds as they did fifty/sixty years ago, but they don't kill us as often and they're a lot cheaper to use. Landing a thing on a comet has to be counted as impressive, surely? The current Russian system for travel to the ISS hasn't killed anybody for a very long time. Having said that, I would have been impressed if we had stuck a radio telescope on the far side of the Moon, shielded from all the fizz down here.

This is the one I saw.
