When dirty, depressing.

You're thinking of DCC Concepts PowerBase

Have you looked at ModelU's range of figures? Even at 1:76 scale, they have recognizable features, superior to white-metal cast people. We took advantage of their scanning service to obtain figures of friends in their West Somerset Railway working outfits. You could have Clive driving a bus over the bridge!

Also Kernow have a couple of EFE Hymeks at a marginally lower price. -
Less often than a bus on a bridge.

Aston On Clun. A forgotten Great Western outpost.

If the bike electrics are 6v, then it's more likely an alternator, with a large selenium plate rectifier to convert a/c to d/c. The alternator is good for 12v, and you can substitute the selenium rectifier for a solid-state one with less electrical loss. A 12v supply will help improve your lighting and you can substitute LEDs for some bulbs, such as the flashers and side-lights. -
Use print to PDF, then attach the PDF here. My computer has a 'Print to PDF' option when I choose to print a document from Office. If that doesn't appear on your computer then there are free PDF printers available. A PDF printer is not a physical printer, but a piece of software that converts your Office document to a PDF file.

1st January 1974. I think it was chosen by Ted Heath as a reward to the electorate for choosing to enter the Common Market (now the EU).

I need some brass bushes for proprietary (e.g. Hornby) loco axles. I think they are 3mm diameter. There are plenty of sources of 1/8" top-hat bushes, but I can't find any for 3mm axles. High Level make hornblocks in several sizes, including 3mm, but what about plain bearings? Am I searching in vain?

The blurry background reminds me of the black & white photos in Railway Modeller in the 1950s and 1960s.

Just add a No Smoking sign to each window.

That plays tricks with the apparent gauge of your tracks. In your second photo, the mainline looks broad gauge with a converging standard gauge branchline.

One definition of a gentleman is someone who knows how to play the bagpipes, but doesn't.
