Bucoops

Dynamic range I believe - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_range DVDs can "carry" more detail whereas regular broadcast audio is compressed.

I suspect the set isn't in stock and instead of removing the listing they've bumped the price to ludicrous level so nobody buys it, when back in stock the price goes down again. Not unusal on ebay annoyingly.

As that is the method they said they would use previously, and then repeatedly did not, I don't think the ORR would agree to it.

I'm not sure he has ever reached that level?

But.. but... it doesn't say kit built?!

It's OK, I have short leggies 😁

85 sheets of Plastikard are now sitting under my desk. Lovely jubbly :D

No tell tale on full brakes is one that traps people sometimes.

Something similar happened with a 321 not that long ago - IIRC the bolts that held the sensor activator that allowed the system to recognise a door was open had been left out, so the door moved, but the activator didn't. so the system thought the door was shut. Wonder if the maintenance guys then moved to Boeing. Allegedly 🙃 If it wasn't Morecambe, perhaps it was Wise?

Think it's been posted on here before but 24:50 - post privatisation nationalisation but still in original livery. https://player.bfi.org.uk/free/film/watch-great-north-of-scotland-railway-films-1963-online?play-film

Not sure quite so simples now 😜

I may well end up wrecking the lot in an evening - Got a cheap Cameo 4 on the way now as well. I foresee many ribs for roofs in my future, along with interior partitions etc.

The circuitry s built in, you just have to add the actual capacitor(s) - although you may need to change a CV to enable it, not sure on that, https://www.youchoos.co.uk/Index-Detail.php?L1=Detail&Item=MX645 - there's info on how and what to connect here.

Just need someone to say they've seen George Formby and you're all top-trumped. Best guitarist? I'd say Knopfler personally. But it's largely down to personal taste. Clapton, technically, superb guitarist - but just too "technical" for me, not enough "feeling".

If I've understood the listing correctly, then I think I just got 120 sheets of Plastikard for 29p each delivered. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/315245693683 edit: Oh. the thicker sheets have 5 per pack not 10, so 85 sheets for 41p each. I'll still take it as a bargain.

No worries :) Not sure if they have announced when code 100 may get the unifrog treatment, I believe they intend to move everything over eventually (I am picking up electrofrog as and when as that is my preference). Incidentally, cdn stands for content delivery network rather than Canada - although I can see why you would think that especially as you rightly say Shopify is Canadian. CDNs replicate data all over the world and it picks the closest location to where you are to display it from to keep things as fast as possible.

Surely their website can't be that bad. Hmm, it is. Best I can come up with is SL-xx where xx is a number are insulfrog, SL-Exx are Electrofrog and SL-Uxx are unifrog. https://peco-uk.com/collections/product-wishlist/peco+streamline+narrow-gauge+oo-ho-16-5mm+100 Looking at the pricelist, there's no code 100 unifrog from what I can see -https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1541/1303/files/PECO_Retail_Price_List_NEW_2024.pdf?v=1709113021

Yup, not just rip-off wheels, but stolen property (and provable), counterfeit high-value collectables, all sorts of things. Outcome? Diddly squat. I keep telling myself not to bother any more but muggins still does it.

Only on the spare set I think.

I worked for a couple of weeks at a place that specialised in sourcing electric valves - one of my roles in the brief time I was there was to unbox cheap Chinese made valves, use wire wool to remove the branding, and pass them to someone who used a little machine that re-branded them as Mullard. Impressed, I was not. In hindsight I should have gone to trading standards, but I was in my late teens and just wanted out. I don't think they are still trading thankfully. Don't forget there is also the current issue of fake parts in jet engines, traced back, allegedly, to a London based company. "Rife" comes to mind. Ebay would appear not to be interested in fake goods being sold on their site, despite what they say. There's a UK based seller that has wheels on sale using one of the major brands, but they are clearly the cheapo ones included in the monthly magazine type build a whatever. They have been reported countless times, including by the genuine manufacturer, but they're still for sale.

Hopefully someone has one of these in their "spares stash"? For some reason, the Finney kit I have came with two double chimneys. Far too long ago to ask for Brassmasters to replace it. Happy to use one or both of the doubles in part-ex. Thank you :)

Not out of the realms of possibility to use it for ULF I suppose, but you're relying on its characteristics to remain pretty constant, and as we know the railway its constantly evolving. Sorry, we can't message our subs because there's weekend engineering works and a whole load of rail has been removed for replacement.

Agreed - underframe detail for LNER stock is hard to find. The major source of info I would suggest is Mike Trice (creator of MJT, now sold through Dart). https://www.westernthunder.co.uk/test21/threads/gresley-carriages-in-detail.9809/

Thank you all that have replied. There's definitely a large element of Rule 1 as I don't think they would have been seen in 1938 on the GE Mainline 🤓 They can run with a blue 37 for the most part.
