Recently, in order to accurately set a few clocks, I checked the time and found myself digitally located in Maryborough. To be fair to them, I wasn't that far away, geographically, but the name was officially changed in 1929. It's interesting that it has somehow survived into this digital age, when I haven't heard anybody use it in general conversation for most of forty years. The time was right to the second, but the location was ninety years out of date...

Whats happening to the spoil wagons?

Ballybrophy's still there. Or, for the last few months, they could just leave the lid off the tank... -
It's almost that time again. Saturday, 10am - 5pm, Sunday, 10am - 4:30pm. If attending, then I would suggest being aware of potential swamp conditions for the car parking arrangements... Details - https://www.staffordrailwaycircle.org.uk/exhibition/

Is there a tampo mistake? Should there be another 's' at the front of "lime works"..?

No hi-vis - asking for trouble.

I bought a 'generic' Nikon lens hood, which turned out to be indistinguishable from a real one. I presumed it was coming from China, but it would be under the VAT ransom threshold, so i wasn't too bothered. When it arrived, it had been posted in the Solomon Islands. I doubt that I could have posted back "Thanks" written on a small piece of tissue paper for the total of £1:02 that it cost me.

Today's inspection tour revealed few alterations. The polite notice at the end of Platform 2 has been renewed. And one has also appeared at the end of Platform 1, too. The 'new' bridge is starting to look older than the 'old' bridge ever did... Some more interesting masonry textures.

See if it works with hair - there's a few on here who might be interested...

If we're saying things again, then I'll (re)say that I usually find 'modern urban' layouts a little disappointing. They often look a little sparse and artificial. This proves that that does not need to be the case.

There are probably quite a few songs with railway connotations - here's one that it's taken me a while to capture, but I finally got it tonight. Not quite HD...

You never know, they might be using the privatised 'Royal' Mail's new Back To The Future service. I'm still waiting for this* to be delivered the day before it was posted. Maybe they're using DeLorean vans? * Not a railway-related item.

My card turned up today. Cheers, lads!

It won't be an issue in this case, but I've found that exposure to UV radiation (sunlight) will fairly rapidly make some transfers quite brittle. Living in the Med in my youth, it only took a few days on a windowsill for them to become very difficult to apply successfully. Even well stored ones can become quite brittle when getting a bit elderly*. *Like most of us...

Someone gave me an old laptop that turned out to be exactly 'right' for me, so I looked around for another, just in case. I discovered that there were two general prices for identical machines, about 80% were at the lower price and 20% were about five or six times more. I wonder if they were targeting the "it must be better"/"you get what you pay for" market? In the end, it is all a market...

You would think you might be safe, that far from the sea?
