    I am now gradually reconciling myself to the lack of minced garlic in the shops.

      If you’re worried about Black Shuck coming down off the Moor, a shotgun will keep him away better than garlic.

    There now follows a review of the lavatorial facilities on a Class 800 'Abominator':

    The location of the lavatory paper dispenser is almost at floor level.  This is not satisfactory for a gentleman who wishes to urinate standing up.

    The water outlet above the wash hand basin shows a marked disinclination to operate within acceptable timescales. 

    The adjacent 'hot air' outlet is weak, ineffectual except over unrealistically lengthy timescales and shows a poor standard of character. 

    The curved sliding door occasionally needs help from guests to fully close.

     

    Review ends.

    There are Italian artisans at large in Totnes. They are apparently there to bake bread.

      Hope the signalbox is still there, even if it’s become apizza joint.

      Thanks, It’s Highland Railway (sort of). I’m working on a small On16.5 layout slowly. Hope to start a thread in a month or two.

    What is it with the lavatories in the 3-car 165 units? The lavatorial space is very large, bigger than that of a Voyager and yet the actual 'facilities' are crammed into the corner, so that your knees are effectively in the sink!

      Knees in the sink, cap’n? Mind your partner don’t end up with a mailbag on her head.

    The trouble was due to the large lap and increased travel of valve. It had come about through the increased throw and the angularity of the quadrant link. In the Walschaert gear the more lap obtained, the more work the combining lever had to do, and only a small percentage of the work was taken by the quadrant. In that particular case the angularity of the link was rather excessive, and it would be an advantage to decrease the angularity of the link and increase the angularity of the radius r...
