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.

The Ballybrophy pit was still visible until lately. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/search/ballybrophy/@52.9022037,-7.5978909,84m/data=!3m1!1e3

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...

I'm not a fan of cable cars and that sort of thing - I might be spilling a different liquid... -
