The cordless Dremels are handy, too.

Great suggestion - I have quite a selection and find them very useful for many things - they can be easily modified for a specialist situation, too. The "modeller's picks" are not made from such hard material as the genuine dental picks. This can be to your advantage, if you do want to alter them a bit. I would suggest that, if you have the option, the single-ended picks are a little easier, and safer, to use. With some decent ear defenders, a strong chair and a roll of gaffer tape, you could even try a little impromptu dentistry.

I believe that he is about to be released back into society. Maintain vigilance.

If only somebody did a compact layout of a fictitious station at Delphi..

Excellent!

Another improvement, I thought it was Leap Years.

I'm glad to see that there's been such a massive improvement - that's the best you've looked for years - they must be really powerful drugs you're getting.

I'll admit that I was unaware, but I shall certainly be idling my way through the images on there...

This has just popped up on a Facebook group that I follow. https://www.facebook.com/groups/747978921956932/permalink/1271924222895730/ Nice stuff!

It has come to my attention, via internet surveillance, that Heir Flick is being held against his will in a healthcare institution.

Talk of lifting the steam speed limits in GB, to avoid scheduling issues. Tornado ran at 100mph today, as a test. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-england-leeds-39568701?ns_mchannel=social&ns_source=twitter&ns_campaign=bbc_live&ns_linkname=58edc9b7e4b053c7bc789434%26Steam%20loco%20hits%20a%20ton%20on%20main%20line%20for%20first%20time%20since%201960s%26&ns_fee=0#post_58edc9b7e4b053c7bc789434

It was the motors again, the British loading gauge is a good bit smaller that the US one and so the internal space in the model locos is correspondingly smaller - too small at the time... Essentially the same problem as had occurred with 00.

Pictures?

People with 0 Gauge eyes living in N Gauge houses......

You're right, I was bamboozled by all the numbers, 140 it is.

This book was recently available for the princely sum of €3. My copy has just reached me and I notice that the bottom picture on page 14 is captioned for TPO 160, but the picture is actually of the four-wheeled vent van No 764 - this picture is used again with the correct caption on page 64 - I was hoping that the picture had been inadvertently interchanged, but no such luck. Is there an online image of TPO 160 anywhere?

SMP have an option for phosphor bronze rail, which should age to a fairly realistic 'rusty' finish.

The 'code' numbers refer to the height of the rail in units of 1/1000th of an inch. Thus, Code 100 rail is a 1/10th of an inch high (100/1000) and Code 75 is 75/1000ths of an inch high.

I often quote this article for its positive 'spin' - the fourth sentence starts with "Aided by his autism..." http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-21208113

There should be cake...

Is there a recording of the episode where some bloke is moaning about the wagon underframes being painted black..?

I remain concerned that the Durrow Scarecrow Festival could so easily transform into a Wicker Man style event.
