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.

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...

World's steepest railway opens in Switzerland.

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

It occurs to me that the traffic figures might not fully reflect the actual activity. Particularly with the shorter posts, they can be read on the Latest Posts column and the whole site Marked Read without the thread being 'entered'. I've certainly noticed myself doing that a lot more on the new layout.
