I'm no expert but found this documentary about a container ship fire both fascinating and scary!

A picture showing progress on the new Salden Lane bridge near Mursley. Looks like it would be fit to carry a motorway despite the lane only seeing the odd vehicle and horse each day! -

A couple of pictures I took today while out on the bike. The rather characterful old bridge is on Salden Lane near Mursley. Looks like they are building a new bridge judging by the ground works and new foundations? -
Although it could have perhaps been more tactfully phased, the point is that buyers were giving their money to someone totally unknown in another country. That raised questions about what rights buyers therefore have and what protections there are if something had gone wrong It does seem a shame that this happens every few weeks, KRModels making an ill judged comment which causes arguments and animosity.

Great news, will put some dates in the diary. The other 40 years thread, with photos of how its developed, has certainly piqued my interest

Is there going to be a 2021 product announcement this year?
Ryde-on-time replied to TravisM's topic in Bachmann
Bachmann changed at the beginning of 2020 to making quarterly announcements saying “ the new products featured will all be released within three months of announcement.” - so not ages away http://news.Bachmann.co.uk/2020/01/a-new-era-dawns-for-Bachmann-europe/ -
First hand experience at work is that the date of payment is not considered, all that seems to matter is the date an item is exported and crosses the border The third story on this BBC new item today is an example of someone receiving a gift after 1/1/21 because it was delayed and incurring charges https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-55752541

Looks like this weeks new episode in Kenya was quite exciting to make! https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-9007881/Chris-Tarrant-reveals-thrown-prison-cell-Kenya.html

Is it possible it’s the controller overheating and cutting out (and there’s nothing wrong with the loco) While you checked the loco, the controller could have then cooled down so that it worked again only to overheat again and cut after running the loco again for 30 to 60 secs Have had the same thing happen with large G scale locos when tested with a train set controller (because I couldn’t be bothered to get a more powerful one out!)

I was trying my best to ignore the photo behind his shoulder? That would be interesting, and difficult to resist if it were made

Yes! Really enjoyable and loving the variety of articles and layouts etc

Hachette Hogwarts Express
Ryde-on-time replied to Hilux5972's topic in Kitbuilding & Scratchbuilding
Yes, looks interesting. Will look out for a copy It was originally going to be released in March as a test (so only a few issues) but put back to September because of covid, not sure if that’s still a test -

EFE Rail launches N gauge Class 17 and Mermaids
Ryde-on-time replied to Mike Harvey's topic in EFE Rail
The normal disounts seem to apply such as here at rails, so they seem excellent value https://railsofsheffield.com/products/40910/efe-rail-e84505-n-gauge-class-17-8512-br-blue -
One thing which I cannot see mentioned is that you can block all buyers who have been reported for not paying for an item twice in the last 12 months It is one of several options which can be set in 'Buyer Requirements', definitely worth sellers having a look
