I think I will get some for my next BC rake, rather than mess with Lima or Airfix. But when doing ABC CDEF BDEF Getting them matching is important

Book adaptions vary. I don't like obvious changes which derail believability (streamers do this), like changing gebders, ages, locations. Unless influenced rather than adaption. A good recent one was The Martian. My internal version was not ruined by the film version.

After posting this it appeared

Some threads are missing from last posted. Notably Wright writes. Any idea please?

Diesels which really stood out from first time. Of course Deltics. 50s First time on a HST. Most EE stuff is good. But Deltics, something else. More presence than almost any other locomotive. I could hear 19 leaving Cheltenham race course while parked just south of Toddington. One 1 power unit.

We always miss the old trains when they have gone, but I do feel we will not with the current ones, more like domestic appliances. Look at the love shown towards the last few HSTs.

With dvd i turn the tv sound to 0, or I get strange echos.

I find I can hear BBC OK most of the time, but ITV is not easy, because their bit rates are too low, and too much background noise under speech. Especially daytime TV. I am not running a subwoofer, just five full range speakers. Hifi is the front stereo pair. For films full DTS or DD. Normal TV is just TV speakers.

I am in the unenviable position of TV getting old and needing replacement in next couple of years, I have a 14 year old LCD panel TV which sounds fine for TV usage. Ultra flat TVs have worse speakers and they try to flog a sound bar. And smart suffer from software going out of date. Not looking forwards to the time. And of the main broadcasters only BBC uses surround sound for my 5.1 system.

I had colleague upset as i reckon Aardman do better animated stories than anyone but some Japanese (Ghibli). And best dog of course is Gromit.

Depends what the source is. Each device has its own button.

I once spent £800 on a video recorder.

I find that films are easier to listen to, if the centre speaker level is boosted a bit. Something like 20% louder than the front stereo pair. Also decent quality speakers. Mine are Castle Acoustics pre going bump. With upper mid range Sony receiver.

I found the colour balance and tube pickup on my first video video camera looked really cheerful. BTW dumped that domain as it was costing me money!

Bow pen might work.

The wheels warped on my Bachmann version, I do need to get the spares for it.

3 MCV in paint. 1 MXV 10 in paint, 1 MXV 10 complete, 3 MCV in works, 4 MXV 9 in works. I need to print more MCV brakes, 2 more MXV 10, and work out MCVs still required. More wheels and buffers soon.

I have used the odd drop of engine oil. Plastic compatible one. Still seems ok. Well the plastic cased injectors have sat in it over 20 years. But only used on axle bearings steel and brass.

Apart from domestic video, I do not know of any Sony lenses. My HDV is Carl Zeiss vario sonnar. The 4000P was Sony branded. Not sure where I put it as the tube has worn out. The recorder still works. 42 years old design.

That top one is like post cataract vision with lowish light. As i was trying to explain.

Depth of field is great, with fixed focus it is essential. Eye based bright sunlight i can read number plates. And down to 250mm. Still short sighted. Night time lots of grain and no focus. Just amount of light and my own irises. You get really good at understanding optics with a number of eye conditions and using glasses. Also found the smaller the sensor the greater the depth of field. 35mm, 2/3 in tube, down to CCD and whatever my newest HDV thing has. Depth of field gets deeper.

My Discovery 2 is getting rather grotty on the chassis, a footstep is rotten, and a rusty seam under bonnet where it got pressure washed a year or so ago. Footstep will be welded, if it fails mot new chassis.

As usual Guerilla up for technical acheivement. As far as I am concerned they deserve it. I was a big player of Killzone 3 multiplayer, it looked absolutely stunning. I saw some footage from the first Call of Duty for the XBone / PS4 era and this will shock. It was the same resolution and looked worse on Bone, than KZ3 on PS3.
