My agent has reported and is undertaking further investigations..

Excellent!! Be worth having a grey one just for that detail....

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.

They seem to be the other way up to ours..

Well spotted. I will be quizzing my Dutch correspondent...

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...

Sad. Maybe if he wore a hi-vis vest...?

That would, effectively, be H0 - wouldn't it be more like 3mm/ft to use 00/H0 track for 5'3"..?

Somebody's just hit the Custom House bridge - services across it currently suspended for an inspection..

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'....

..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 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.

Completed early - running through this evening - IR tweets "Bridge works btwn Cork &.Mallow completed early, line reopening, 19.00 & 21.00 Dub-Cork &19.15 Tralee-Cork trains will run through to Cork" .

A 'phew' more comments here - http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/1842-Close-call-video-of-train-collision-near-miss?highlight=phew .

I understand that Abbeyleix is planned for September 14th/15th this year.

The layout has already been started... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/7694255.stm

Bloody hell!! I can't get mine to use a mobile phone....

Some 'action' from 'them'. I wonder if they've also asked for the designs for home-printable stable door bolts to be withdrawn...? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-22478310

Just find a twelve-year-old - they'll do it for you.

My Techy Chap says - Sounds like he has some serious malware issue's. Start up in "safe mode with networking". To get the options for this on screen he needs to repeatedly press F8 when switching the PC on. If internet then allows him to connect in safemode, tell him to download and run this one time scanner from Malwarebytes. The web address is http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/mbar/ Hopefully that will help. If he still cant access the internet in safe mode either, then downloading the above and using a memory stick would work to get it onto the required pc from a working one. No guarantees, but this is how I would personally go at it before looking into anything else. I've been using Malwarebytes with Microsoft Security Essentials for a few years, on his recommendation, with no issues at all.

There have been ceramic knives for a good few years, which are enough of a problem, but a widely and easily available non-metallic gun is a very serious security difficulty. Only the firing pin and the cartridge itself contain any metal parts.

'They' also might be interested in the fact that an operational, non-metallic, 3-D printable firearm has been demonstrated and the design has been downloaded 100,000 times already... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-22464360 Must be rather worrying for the airlines...?

I'll start a shed over here and make some efforts in this direction - wouldn't even need a runway then... [video=youtube;Vp0WnZ-4Tqg]
