Phase 9 already??? 🤪 So long as it isn't Plan 9...

Be careful to align things so the Dragon of Unhappiness doesn't fly up your bottom...

But they're Russian away!

The front end of a King, easily spotted on the magazine racks. I'll give it a week to percolate down to my usual newsagent! Very patriotic!
-
Gostude has noticed that Hornby has gone back into TT! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/363609172312 A bit pricy for something that is well out of scale for TT:120 and might not run on modern track... I wonder where the Mint is hidden!

Its important to correctly align the crystalline structure of the copper wires. However, you also need to maintain the correct magnetic polarity of the wires while doing so...

Very nice, but from the photos I've seen of the dock pugs rather too clean! It's obviously targeted pricewise at hardcore collectors, but it'd be cheaper and more fun to get an ordinary Dapol/Hornby L&Y pug and add your own bell, deflector and weathering. BTW the deflector didn't work. The reason why the LOR was ripped down in unseemly haste in 1956 was because the deck was corroded and would cost "too much" to repair/replace. Liverpools urban planners probably wanted the LOR gone too, to give a clean, modern cityscape...

A good idea.... I'll have to dig out my old HFN&RR test cds - they have audio bands on them, it'll be interesting to see what I can resolve...
-
Sounds like they use some rather dodgy accounting practices...
-
It looks a fairly uncomfortable bum-prop. The angles a tad steep and its too close to the wall! Our local bus stop bum-props are at two heights, but still suffer from an uncomfortable rake and closeness to the back of the bus shelter. They've obviously been designed by a young stick insect....

Considering that the first verse of Jerusalem mainly concerns the Glastonbury legend, surely the "Chariot of Fire" must be a finely burnished Somerset and Dorset Joint Raiway locomotive? Ummmmm..... If the sail's shaking and the wheels kicking, then the lubber is sailing a bit too close to the wind and is going to feel a ropes end sooner or later! -
I used to record the highlights so I could watch the actual racing at a reasonable time and avoid all the talking heads. Over the past few races, I've just kept an eye on the BBC web blog/stream thingy and I've deleted the highlights unwatched. Don't think I'll be recording the rest of the season. 🤪

Steelers Wheel knew what they were talking about....

Though it would be safer to include a Murray Mint, at least that won't melt all over the contents...
-
One hopes the driver has a fire extinguisher to hand, just in case...
-
Almost as hackneyed as the Ambassadors party! Anyway, I prefer the double length box...
-
Of course, the "dark satanic mills" were the buildings of the Established Church....
-
Would that be one of those boxes of thin mints?
-
You can imagine the car chasing it's own tail...
-
Not to mention the actual scale, and should it be quoted as a proportion or a straight or mixed measurement..... Eg 1:120 or 1/10":1' or 2.54mm:1' Each has its own adherents...
-
Looks like a still from one of those 5 minute long "Donkey Sanctuary" adverts on the digital channels.

This England , a magazine of soft focus nostalgia. I've never laid a finger on it, but according to the Wikipedia entry, it has (had?) a strong Eurosceptic voice. Strangely enough, it is currently published by DC Thomson of Dundee... There is another "This England", a WW2 patriotic film made in 1941 and aimed at the USA. Something else to blame Shakespear for!!!

Ok for passengers, but not applicable for goods. Anyhow, if I were a passenger arriving at Birkenhead Woodside and wanted to get to Central Liverpool, I'd walk up the road to Hamilton Square station and catch a comfortable electric train, rather than hang around on a dank ferry landing stage for a choppy ride across the Mersey. At least then they wouldn't have had their ears assulted by constant repetition of "Ferry 'cross the Mersey" by Gerry and the Pacemakers!

Not just that, it won't be high priority as there won't be a direct revenue stream from the orders!
