  3. Be reasonable.

  9. Does look like he will 'fess up - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-21024288 - all sorts of people are going to want their money back - it will be a good time to be a lawyer....
  10. Continental Modeller had a series on Thai railways a few years ago.
  11. Hopefully, this silliness will Peter out soon.
  12. She can cook outside on the barbecue when the snow's gone, surely..?

  17. And an i-pad defibrillator - http://www.firstaidwarehouse.co.uk/xpp-ipad_semi_automatic_defibrillator.html
  18. I built a layout for a friend in a concrete garage, unheated, and then extended out under a boarded-in car-port - virtually outside, except from being sheltered from the rain. For the winter months, there could be problems with bad connection from the track, especially if it wasn't run for a few days. The bit under the car-port suffered with the rails contracting in the cold at the same time as the wood expanded with the damp and vice versa in the summer - the bit in the garage didn't suffer as badly, though the runs were shorter in there. Stock-wise, there was little problem. Conditions in an attic are unlikely to be more extreme, this one was almost 'outside'... Another friend has a large layout in a (very) well-insulated attic and all is fine.
  19. Yes, that's more like it - the other one had several different names over the years..
  20. That scene just has to be recreated..!

  22. Might be worth a try, though - no sign of any reserve... One of them is Campeltown - if it turns out to be knackered we could just run it into St Nazaire on March 28th and blow it up - although last year would have been a better anniversary, round figures and all that... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Nazaire_Raid
  23. Indeed - 'tis a big beast. If you have any money left - https://www.gov.uk/commercial-sale-of-type-22-frigates - this would help to avoid the ferry costs....
  24. Cosford is well worth a visit - full of weird stuff. http://www.rafmuseum.org.uk/cosford/things-to-see-and-do/on-display.aspx?museum=Cosford&location=Research+%26+Development And it's free - except for the car-park... ...or on the day of the Air Display. The chaps that brought O'Connell Street over for Warley went there.
