    Not sure whether those colours need to be tweaked - but the cylinder lining should be a square panel from LMR days until at least 1982 on the SVR ..... I don't know what exact period the model's meant to represent.

    It is correct for it as  presently seen in The Engine House.

    I don't know whether any other members of RMWEB subscribe to Popbitch but the exhibition was referred to as "Glastonbury for train sets" in relation to the visit by Hugh Grant. Apologies if this has been mentioned elsewhere but I thought it was amusing !

     

    My colleague has mentioned this (what the hell's he doing on there?). I look forward to the new 'long drop' facilities overhanging the North car park.

    Another poster very helpfully pointed me in the direction of the post where the discussion on the WCRC livery started. What's the point in littering up the topic with unhelpful responses?

    No need to be so damn rude.

     

    Frankly, he wasn't wrong. Too many topics get littered with people asking questions that have already been answered - simply because they don't want to spend their time reading (or using the search function) what has already been discussed and illustrated.

  5. Found this whilst grazing...

     

    HST

     

    Borails? With untethered skips? The linked pic suggests Stevenage but I'm not convinced.

     

    It's not something I've ever noticed before (or seen modelled) so what sort of traffic is it?

    Was that the same event which had the metro super challenge with the 6R4s?

     

    That was a couple of years later; sadly I couldn't make that year. Best sounding forest car, full stop.

    Gosh yes, I remember that - 1986? I felt so sorry for the organisers who must have spent so much time and money setting it up. IIRC it was blamed on the tail end lashing from a hurricane or typhoon which had crossed the Atlantic, something which we'd rarely if ever heard of at the time, but have regularly since.

     

    I was in the grandstand at Highgate that we got turfed out of as it was starting to sink just after the F3000 started.

     

    Weekend diversion over.

    Maybe so, but I still got damp at the Reading Festival around then. Music festivals must just attract their own weather systems (as many Glastonbury-goers will testify!)

     

    It was usually around August Bank Holiday which, also, has it's own weather system; as anyone who went to the first Birmingham Superprix would know.

    it would be most helpful if posters didn’t inject their own speculative narrative into the mix that is utterly baseless in facts. I think that’s a reasonable request?

     

    Agreed.

     

    So @richscylla, it's clear to me that you are amongst a collective with an agenda that has no place on this site. If any retailers have had any issues they can discuss with Accurascale directly, they don't need your involvement and you are actually doing (most of) them a disservice.

    Saturday, don’t forget that on Sunday, it is Easter Sunday, so all the shops in York will closed.

     

    Shops under 280m² are allowed to open but may choose not to.
