  1. Good stuff. Handy to have it all in one place..
  2. Interesting - http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01sjtzw/The_Tube_An_Underground_History/ - for those able to access iPlayer..
  3. I have done - and I suspect he's not finished yet......
  4. An exciting bridge-strike in Essex - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-essex-22560758 .
  5. There's actually two of them and they're twins - a great aid when working under-cover....
  6. My agent is still active in the field..
  7. Here's a good spin - http://www.downvids.net/luckiest-escape-in-irish-rally-446819.html - excellent commentary...
  8. Radio 4's In Business is covering 3-D printing tonight - http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01sdrhf - give it an hour or so and it will be available to Listen Again.. It's on live as I type this and they've just interviewed the Shapeways chap...
  9. No problem. He knows what he's doing on rail-related matters - and he can search effectively in Dutch, which may turn up stuff not readily available to us..
  10. My agent has reported and is undertaking further investigations..
  11. Excellent!! Be worth having a grey one just for that detail....
  12. My Dutch Correspondent only appears on my other Forum every week or so, but he does know his stuff. We'll see what he comes up with.
  13. They seem to be the other way up to ours..
  14. Well spotted. I will be quizzing my Dutch correspondent...
  15. H0 would be closer at 1/87, and the track is near-enough right then, for 1,435 mm - but 1,600 mm track represented by 16.5 mm track is near-enough 1/100, which is virtually 3 mm/ft - not that it matters - I'm happy with decent-sized models that don't cost the Earth on track that's readily available and near-enough for me...
  16. Sad. Maybe if he wore a hi-vis vest...?
  17. That would, effectively, be H0 - wouldn't it be more like 3mm/ft to use 00/H0 track for 5'3"..?
  18. Today's Google Doodle - https://www.google.co.uk/
  19. http://www.fictitiousliveries.co.uk/photo.php?emu390_clag.jpg
  20. Somebody's just hit the Custom House bridge - services across it currently suspended for an inspection..

    Derby.

    I should have spotted that - this is one on my favourite videos - of the old days when 'we' were supposed to be scared of 'them'....

    Derby.

    ..and more.. Some nice US stuff. And some huge 1/29th scale US stuff. A slate quarry. Raven's Rock. My favourite - Marsh Chipping - I lived in the Cotswolds in the '60s and this was very well done, really captured the 'feel'...

    Derby.

    Derby today. Not quite as good as previous years and very noticeably fewer people about. Some good things. The usual mix of scales, UK, continental and American. N gauge. ..and from the other end. Oil Drum Lane. Where the Steptoes lived, as I recall.. 3-D TV...? I never did German at school, but it seems quite easy... A German harbour.
