  1. In this case I understand that it is the responsibility of the seller to be registered for UK VAT and pay the VAT directly to HMRC. i.e. you should already have paid the VAT to the seller.
  2. Hanging on to a minute anything is tricky with my large clumsy hands.
  3. Unless it's going to the Netherlands in which case standard transit time is 3-5 weeks. It's not Royal Mail's fault but is down to the incompetence of their partner PostNL. I wonder if Royal Mail is aware of the unbelievably poor performance of their business partner.
  4. Nail on the head. If you're designing something, and it doesn't really matter what, you need to be aware of the processes involved in the manufacture and their design rules.
  5. If the LEDs are connected in series you will need more than 3V for them to light up. As 5BarVT says, I think we need more information. What documentation was included? Maybe a specification of schematic? David
  6. I think Jessica's cube would look better with a bit of weathering
  7. An interesting bit of Plessey history I was not aware of. I started my career in 1983 at Plessey Research which was moved to Caswell from Ilford in 1940 to avoid the bombing.
  8. If they claim it is OK for DC then it will not be an electrolytic capacitor that can explode if you put the wrong polarity voltage across it for any length of time. Just to be sure look to see if there are any polarity markings on the capacitor. The only other thing to check is the voltage rating is higher than say 20V to give you enough margin.
  9. I'm gobsmacked to see that more than 40% of respondents own 50+ locomotives. I'm not sure though that this statistic is going to be useful when my wife asks me what was in the parcel that just arrived. What I am sure about is that I have a long way to go to catch up.
  10. Bagnall's Models on Salter Street, Stafford. I spent many Saturdays browsing/buying upstairs amongst the model rail stuff in the 70's and bought umpteen Airfix/Revell kits. I'm not sure when they ceased trading. I've often wondered if there was some sort of connection with W G Bagnall in Stafford where my grandfather worked for 52 years.
  11. Love one. What have you got?
  12. As a saxophonist I won't be loosing any sleep about that 😉
  13. It's going to be a challenge to get a complete big band on that band stand. I look forward to seeing it
  14. Hello Gordon A, I was wondering how you were getting along with the Bagnall kit. Hopefully you're making progress because I'm still interested. Regards, David
