  1. Did AG Barr get a TBT exemption?....
  2. Prototype for everything corner - Continental Modeller edition... https://www.ianvisits.co.uk/articles/more-details-about-the-lner-wagon-buried-in-belgium-71549/ More photos here and archived here.
  3. Is that a floating bridge or a concert venue? A WIG that doesn't fit?... I'll see myself out...
  4. Or have a nighttime lighting setting and go full O. Winston Link....
  5. It came on the back of a Faller lorry with a HIAB.... Is a specific season being targeted here or just a 'North China plain' look?
  6. @TEAMYAKIMA Sorry to butt in, but is there a pinned comment somewhere listing your up coming show appearances? Keep finding that I've just missed a show... Back to lurking with interest.
  7. "The front fell off?" "But that's not very typical, I'd like to make that point..."
  8. Video is 40 (quite interesting) minutes long...
  9. Allegedly, a benefit of the Baltimore 'Key' bridge being a toll bridge turned out to be that when the mayday went out at about 0120ishLT, the toll barrier operators were able to stop vehicles crossing the bridge before the ship hit the structure at 0130ishLT. Thus as far as I am aware, the only people on the bridge at the collapse were a road crew repairing potholes. BBC News Link
  10. If you ever find yourself wondering what to do next when in Lisbon (PT), an interesting couple of hours can be spent in the Museu de Marinha for which the queue and entrance fee are considerably smaller than for the Jerónimos Monastery (same building). The models pictured are 1:20 scale but there are several other galleries of models of various sizes and scales including naval, commercial and fisheries vessels. The museum cafe also does a nice line in the local Pastéis de Nata from the original shop - but, again, without the queue of tourists...
  11. So what you're sayin' is that a BR Standard 4MT is your Weapon of Choice ?....
  12. Maybe they should try putting the telescope towards their good eye... From the NYT article referenced by Zerohedge - Unfortunately it may take more of the following in the coming years for something to be done.
  13. No. Unless they want to do an impression of the Herald of Free-Enterprise (free surface effect). The yachts treat these voyages as dry dock time to work on the boat. The Heavy lift lines advertise amenities on the ships that the yacht crews can use whilst onboard such as gyms and the ability to plug into some 'shore power' from the vessel.
  14. "Brilliant Ace" Now back to your regular programming....
  15. "Bring me the runway of Diego Garcia"....
  16. One small piece of the puzzle... Ships Advertise Chinese Links to Avoid Houthi Attack in Red Sea - Bloomberg 11/01/24 Who knew programming your AIS would be a matter of life and death...
  17. Would that spur that branches off near the photo location have lead to a facility that has been censored on the map? - can't see any other reason for the track work...
  18. TBF, the brand(-ing) is correct for the geographical area...
  19. "It's All Fun and Games Until Someone Ends Up in a Cone...."
