  1. Only if you leave it floating but tether it to the gate 😄
  2. A green 06 with TOPS number York back in the day before Sprinterisation
  3. The NEC show this year will be Warners led so a new show but in the old Warley slot, I would imagine Manchester is not a threat to a dedicated O gauge show. The killer for me would be the location, it is planned to use the sports centre like the old Wigan multiscale show, that can have parking issues especially if there is a home sporting fixture the same weekend and it's a trek from the station. The location may be more an issue than other neighbouring shows. But the show space at Wigan is good and they are using two halls, you'll get a lot of O gauge into that space.
  4. Mine from Warrington booked three months in advance £29 out and £17 return with Avanti.
  5. I don't think it's alchemy but I think the decision to go DCC is whether it will add or detract from your enjoyment of what you model. If you've been DC all your life and you're not feeling constrained by it in what you want to achieve with a model then there is no impetus to change. I did it because I'd had enough of my pitiful attempts at a control panel, a pathetic reason really given I could happily wire up the layout with lots of sections (especially in the fiddlyard to stack trains), I could do the point motors with polarity switching, I even wired the railway so I could use two controllers anywhere on the layout, but I could not make a control panel beyond a black box with lots of holes drilled in it to save my life. So when I went back to a terminus layout I thought I'd give DCC a go and bought some cheap chips from Rails. Now I don't need a control panel as I have a piece of paper and an NCE Powercab to control all my locos and points. I also gave sound a try as I really wanted a class 25 warbling away in my station. But my impetus for DCC was my fear of the control panel
  6. The show is excellent and if you are in Watford then the train is going to be the most cost effective means to get there. I really enjoy the show, I go on the Friday as the trains are quieter without weekend travellers and you see stuff you won't normally see south of the border.
  7. It's like £1.80 for a return ticket from Central to Exhibition (did that as it got me a cheaper seat with Avanti).
  8. From which the well known saying was born - "Oooh, are you pleased to see me or is that a Castle in your pocket?"
  9. Something for those who like a bit of dirty blue. An hours audio of class 50s from the end of the 70s.
  10. Maybe follow this page: https://www.nymr.co.uk/Pages/Category/diesel-locos
  11. The irony you substituted the word peace for the actual word you wanted. At least it was deliberate. It was deliberate, wasn’t it ? 🤣
  12. I’m just helping you understand there is nothing in their webpage that isn’t meant to be there.
  13. There will be nothing sensitive there, it’s the data to build the webpage downloaded to your device you are viewing nothing more. It’s how the internet works.
