As another ex-Southampton heart surgery patient (albeit now a while back) I fully echo the views about them and the NHS. 

Fully concur. The modern plastic one's are useless from just about every maker - not progress back in the day when they  (as in t/ls in general) were metal with the hook on a rivet they rarely failed. The clip on idea for the hook is not fit for purpose.

Monk Bar Model shop in York, concur with the other posters.  If you are driving in from the south Hensall has a good one by the station and level crossing.  Also a Hobbycraft up on the Monks Cross shopping complex with regular bus links to/from the City centre if you have gone to York on the train.

Interesting observation. These things are obviously very much a personal decision on what you like/dislike but I tried it and quickly went back to condensed. 

@Captain Kernow in principle I don't disagree with you: however, advertising, marketing and selling are long established traditions YT influencing is no more a new thing than Fanny & Johnny Craddock, Keith Floyd et al  et al were doing when I was a lad for cooking. Iy is just a new media format being used for a concept that has been in use from the first scrawled advert for prostitute back in IIRC ancient Greek times. (Sadly I have forgotten in which ancient City it is inscribed onto the ruins)  Doing advertising etc., well takes a lot of skill it is why those who are good at it get paid good salaries.

YouTubing may not be your career choice but it is one that can prove to be useful and give an income. From what I understand it is easy to be on YT as a creator (I have put stuff there) but extremely hard work to become highly successful at getting your videos seen by the thousands needed for it to generate an income stream or for you to become an influencer. With regard to courses probably a bit of a rip-off those with the innate skills needed to be good at selling have that "something" that like the very best watchmakers, sports people and musicians is all in the genes they were born with. 

Be sure you want to before you do it. I have found the new one’s very poor and would happily swap the small one’s on my modern stock for older types that work. I have bought some Sprat & Winkles but have yet to start fitting them.

Agree with the earlier posts, your post is a call for help. Don't do it ring Samaritans or relevant non-UK group.

Also experimenting with XLRs from my power box up to the layout.

Well done. Glad you caught it.

Make a train shaped rattle one of the early toys then a Brio set as the first more train set like purchase, but regarding the Brio not for a year or so yet.

Have made same mistake in the past so tend to agree it could be more obvious.

Same problem around here. Like many traffic regulations imposed nationally enforcement is always the problem. Although there are a few random days of enforcement far too few Traffic Wardens (can't remember their current proper designation) to make getting ticketed regularly a likely prospect so motorists don't bother. Even with the urban 30mph speed limit I guess most of the time nominal observance that there is a limit is the low 30s not 29mph. The counter is would I want to pay more council tax for more traffic enforcement officers? 

Agree

That may well have been where I wrongly clicked had it actually been a message that needed to be private (I.e. sent from the profile) although in this instance it didn't matter. 

Can anyone explain why clicking the envelope sent a public status update not an off-line PM? I saw it had done that after posting but as it wasn't in any way defamatory I left it in public i.e., as it was. 

Re preferring PECO, me too. I only used Hornby because this started out as a just quick build use what I had lying around project.

Agree re circular icons but it seems to be the modern trend.
