      Disappointing. I can't see the point in falling out with people you've never met.

      My quest for the meaning of BSJ has turned up some very strange answers.

      As for the waistcoat, whats the prognostication if he's wearing it at kickoff and takes it off at half time?

      hmmm - it seems that p and td tags do not need to be closed under certain circumstances

      only if you were declaring a sloppy 32 doctype, I would've thought

    4. Miss Prism

      Miss Prism

      apparently it's been in the html5 spec for yonks, the W3C spec authors were very helpful (I will still be closing my tags though, it's good practice)

  16. We would like to reassure viewers that no drawings were used or consulted in the production of this model

      Probably just as well in the case of some original drawings.

  18. The problem with Swindon standardisation is that the standardisation changed every day

    2. JimC

      JimC

      In modern terms Swindon ran what would now be called a continual improvement program. Parts were standardised only so far as they were interchangeable to an appropriate extent, they didn't ossify faulty designs.

    3. Mikkel

      Mikkel

      And thus way ahead of Ford.

    4. DCB

      DCB

      Pity Hornby can't follow Swindon's example so parts are interchangeable between locos of the same class.

      My guess (and it is!) would be taken by someone on the RMweb visit to Didcot

      Excellent find, Platform 1. Thanks. I will look at the Hornby Star thread, which I think goes into the saga in a bit more detail.

      Is it because they dodge paying their UK tax..... They're just like many others eg, Amazon, Starbucks, Cadbury, etc. Wait a minute, aren't they all American owned. Just saying....
