  2. Pempoul - one of the best layouts that I've ever seen..
  3. Knobbly knees contest..

  5. And then only if you've been really good..
  6. I'm listening to my Wharfedale W4s...
  7. There was an earlier points fault at Cherryville, too..
  8. I knew I'd seen it somewhere - it also came up as a suggestion because I'd looked at Slow Train...
  9. OK - it's on YouTube in three bits...
  10. A programme by John Betjeman - http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p01203rd/Lets_Imagine_A_Branch_Line_Railway/ - available on the BBC iPlayer for the next 26 years, it says - so you've got time to work out how to see it if you're outside the UK....
  11. A lot of the stations named were around me here - hardly even a mark left from some of them...
  12. A whole 'performance' - including the famous poem.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkLoDg7e_ns

  14. Set your alarm clock - http://www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-modern/music-and-live-performance/kraftwerk-catalogue-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8
  15. Indeed. Got a week to spare next year? They're doing all the albums, in order, over an eight day period - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-20606886 .
  16. Here - https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=bala+lake&hl=en&ll=52.884855,-3.618973&spn=0.005419,0.009645&hnear=Bala+Lake&gl=uk&t=h&z=17&layer=c&cbll=52.884855,-3.618973&panoid=XLhRMhBQJRKsC-OzdAERrQ&cbp=12,299.8,,0,0 - a nice run alongside the lake, too..
  17. I've had that a few times - usually goes if I pretend to remove a letter and then put it back...
  18. Excellent shot.
  19. A chap is building a full-size bridge in a Meccano style at the unfortunately named location of Nob End - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-20651212 & http://www.manchesterconfidential.co.uk/Property/Giant-Meccano-Bridge-For-Bolton .
  20.

  22. Tribute to Malahide Viaduct...?
