There's a clue in the phrase "north of London"...
-
There was a lot of trumpet-blowing at the time - some of us can remember when it was going to be possible to go from Stafford to Avignon on a Saturday, and have about three hours there before coming back. It got as far as printed timetables before it was abandoned.
-
In most of the videos, etc., people sound Belgian, but hint at the location being in Northern France - nobody seems keen on revealing exactly where.

Another full-scale landscaping issue. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-42791614 A bit too much water in the mix?

The current trade attendees at the upcoming Stafford exhibition are at the bottom of this - http://www.staffordrailwaycircle.org.uk/exhibition/ - I'm not sure if any are baseboard providers, but I can't remember seeing one there in the past, though it is quite possible that there was.

Quite often, it looks like they've "only just caught the bridge" - I wonder if people rely on the stated bridge height clearance being a little pessimistic.
-
It's worth looking at Stafford - quite big, but still fairly civilised, not the scrum of Warley - reasonably central and gets good crowds - around the first weekend of February every year. Short notice for this year? @Mike 84C has been, a couple of years ago, if you want another opinion. If you need a hand there, I'm a couple of miles away.

Yet another...

They seem to be on about pinching something - possibly a stack of boxes from somewhere in Dublin?
-
It looks to me that Hattons will sell it to you for £72 + £4 carriage to the North - for wooden sleeper track.

In the 70s, I used to go from Stafford to Lincoln on the train - cycling to Uttoxeter saved over an hour on the journey, and a third of the ticket price. -
I think it's actually near the Russian sauna in Navan - that's him in the top picture here. https://www.facebook.com/rrsauna/?rf=296432527114579

Thinking about it, you might bump into Vlad before I do..

I'll see what I can co. Whilst discussing aerodynamic braking with somebody, I found this supreme example of the technique from an Il 76 in Malta - perhaps the cost of the brake shoes comes out of his wages?

And back again. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-42691337

At least they're not scrapped - yet.

I came across this video this morning.

Up on RTÉ-player now, even for those in the outside world. https://www.rte.ie/player/gb/show/nationwide-21/10826418/

A Facebook acquaintance has this on eBay, if it's of any interest to anybody. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/232628329230?roken=cUgayN

Every station should have a cat. Try to instil a sense of duty by making the position official. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tama_(cat)

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..
