A bit of difficulty with the ballast at Dawlish.
Broithe replied to Broithe's topic in Letting off Steam
They have difficulty there on a regular basis - perhaps if they glued it with a big dropper....? It does exist in the real world, e.g. Paddington Station. The line to Holyhead along the North Wales coast was washed away for weeks back in the '70s. Similar trouble is still on-going today - http://www.railnews.co.uk/news/2013/12/06-north-wales-storm-repairs-will.html ...

Might be possible, using the same parts...

The Hornby ones are electrically heated, with a tiny immersion heater in the boiler.

At the rate of advance that the RTR market has had in the last few decades, it night not be too long before some Chinese factory makes a limited run of RTR 00 live steam turf burners.

All club together and have it as a time-share..? -
I was hoping for hydraulic damping to be a feature - ah, well....
-
The buildings at Stafford are mostly used for cattle and dog shows - there is an inbuilt air of 'life' that is only slightly masked by the fumes leaking from the heating system. Rucksacks seem much less in evidence in recent years.

They're already counting down for next year - http://www.staffordrailwaycircle.org.uk/exhibition.php - perhaps you'll manage it next time....

I'm not even sure if such things were even available. This is the car-park today, after the water's drained down by about three/four inches since yesterday.. ..there some big holes around, where people have really got bogged in..

And a bloody gigantic Bakewell tart.

The parking was truly bizarre - some comments on my other Forum - http://www.staffordforum.com/xf/index.php?threads/sat-1-feb-2014-model-railway-exhibition.13116/#post-214453 - it might be on top of a hill, but the whole place was a primordial swamp. The sausage rolls are lovely - I have one every year.

Gresley Beat is crazily good - the joins are almost invisible, even if you trace them from the edge - and there's even lamps along the tunnel walls - do see it if you can. You could spend an hour watching it. The chap in the picture even looks like the sort of bloke that would have a layout like that... The pics aren't really the best - it's a dim hall and I don't like to flash....

..and more.. Sometimes, interesting parts of the system can be hidden..

I went to this today, and almost met Mike 84D, but he was caught by security when trying to leave his house this morning.. Ballyconnell Road was there. And plenty more interesting stuff.

Why are there lights in fridges, but not in freezers?
-
I've run 12V grain-of-wheat bulbs in series pairs off 16V AC, so 8V across each one - plenty of light still, and a nice colour - a slight problem if a bulb does blow, as it will disconnect the remaining good bulb - but, then, I've never actually had one blow yet.
-
If you're running filament bulbs, then there's something to be said for dropping the voltage slightly - they'll last a lot longer and, I think, the slightly yellowy light looks better, too.
-
Why can you buy prune juice, when you never see plum juice, and yet a prune is a dried plum?
-
Marvellous work - a great improvement. It does make one wonder if Dapol themselves might be interested in the idea...?

Train movements in kildare and cherryville

It's OK. Take your time. ..and tell 'her' that I said you can have an extra half-crown pocket money this week, for being a good lad.. -
A marketing opportunity gone.....
