There's no chlorine in styrene, but the fumes are certainly not good for you. Chlorine could become available from some other polymers, notably PVC, obviously. It would be wise to avoid any polymer (partial) combustion products.

I haven't watched this, but these sorts of programmes usually have some sort of fictional "added drama" to interest those who would be watching anything that was on at the time anyway. It's the same sort of thing as cooking against the clock in a tent, etc.... "Never watch a TV programme about a subject that you have any knowledge of yourself" is a good general rule these days.

This nice picture has just appeared on Twitter.

I used Fleischmann expansion joints with Peco flexi 100 - worked well.

It's not just a "young v old" thing - there is also a "male v female" aspect. I've always felt that promotion of layouts as "smaller dolls' houses in a landscape setting" may have some mileage..

3rd & 4th of February this year. http://www.staffordrailwaycircle.org.uk/exhibition/ Worth a visit, if you're not too far away - always a good standard. Nothing specifically for "us" this year, it seems, but plenty to see...

Due to almost annual house moves, often to different countries, I never had a train set at all. I did come across them in the houses of the "settled populations" and it was always 'on the list', but circumstances made it a little awkward to have anything with any permanence. I did, though, get as far as one of the Lone Star die-cast ones that was around N Gauge in size.

Natural settings usually look better with curving - you can get away with sharp corners in urban settings more easily. In rural settings, the sharp corner can be hidden with a tree or suitable building.

I was "bubbles", too, it didn't let me specify orange ones..

Done. The two wagons in the same category may dilute the vote a bit - we'll see.

1, Those pictures are all the right way up, has your account been hacked? 2, That's one hell of a drop there...

Get her scanned - https://www.modelu3d.co.uk/3d-scanning/ - you can fit the wheels yourself.

Birthday's over now. Back to work!

Talk of helicopters reminded me of this. I love the fact that it is all coordinated by PHECC, the Pre-Hospital Emergency Care Council. A very Irish acronym. I look forward to further organisations being established - ARS, GURLS and DRINC, perhaps?

I always bear in mind RTÉ's winter advice from 2009 - especially the section on 'Eating'. https://www.rte.ie/news/2009/0202/113451-snowtips/

Be fair! This is a Yellow Snow Warning. Yellow snow is the worst sort.

This is a shot worthy of note. -
Do please wish the elves at the factory all the best - they have toiled well on our behalf.

I had a call from Mr DPD about an hour ago, looking for target coordinates for here - I now have my bubbles in front of me. I was prepared for the brakes to be seized in the off-position, as on the ballasts, but was disappointed to find all six pressure gauges stuck - it'll be the cement dust, I suppose, at 1/76 scale, it'll just get everywhere. Otherwise, they seem OK.

There was, but I don't really remember it.

Generally, people will quote RMS voltage, as it is the most 'useful' way of describing an AC set-up in terms of power supply available - divide that figure by 0.707 to get an idea of what the peak-to-peak voltage will be, from an insulation point of view. Or just add 50% roughly...
