Sexism is par for the course in motorsport .My daughter was told when she went to a certain circuit when she joined Octogon's press team "Its about time we got a looker ,the last one was a real minger "or words to that effect .

Well .That another season over .....

Not all .Some World Champions didnt know what end was front unless told...according to their engineers .They were no help at all on set up which is why some "lesser" team mates had oddly long stints in a team .They had to beg at least one of them not to blow the engine on the first lap at tests

Thing is he hasnt cleared himself in a court of law so it can rumble on and on .The silence of people leaping to his defence in the team was deafening I gather and even his wife didnt actually seem to think he was innocent between sobs by her actions . I assumed he would get away with as they wouldnt have brought the "action" unless he could .The story is still about Horner not Red Bull so I still think he will go in the end .

I always use lais in my US locos plastic and brass ,shays ,rod and diesel and never had any problems at all .I use the cheap Bachmann eZkrap controller or a MRC Tech6 as I am a cheapskate .One Lais decoder doesnt like coreless micromotors is it the next18?

It seems to me that Horner got bigger than Red Bull in the media .It became his team and no one else got a word in ...its pretty poor treatment of him even if the accusations are true .Mud sticks and always will now .Who ever worked this one out has really screwed him .The old press saying 'when the messenger gets bigger than the story its time to go " rings out in this case .His big helpers in F1 climb were Briatore and Ecclestone ,Both damaged beyond repair .

another one to add to the list.... I could also bung in a couple of well known designers whos one great success was probably a certain A N design and the other I wouldnt let design my grandaughters pedal car though race car design is black art and success is often luck unless repeated .. Incidently I think Horner will be aquitted as if it was probably true he would have resigned but this trial by Redbull is probably a show to please the great unwashed,who knows .If people are supposed to just forget remember Paddy pants down.guilty or not it all sticks Something is always lost Edit........ sources say its all true.

Motorsports is full of people who are incompetent .One well known engineer was nicknamed "**** Barely Capable ".I know of some one who wrote up various contracts incorrectly and has cost the company 6 million .Probably walkies will follow but the not the reason, so will probably get another management job .if others do the deals ,design the car,hire the people and run the car ,anyone can sit on the pit wall talking to the press and sound very impressive and that appears to have been his job .Interesting it was Dutch media outlet .They all love Max and Redbull ............but someone doesnt .

My daughter via others and her own experience has info on this but its not repeatable, printable or complimentary.Suffice to say his main job under the old management was so Matische could deflect press questions according to well informed paddock gossip at the time ..The important decisions were never his .Now Horner seems as important than the team in many eyes so time to go .It had to come .I am not surprised far less than many who wondered how he ever got the job in the first place .So palace coup ?

Years ago trains were part of the fabric with model trains being fascinating and only jets and a rockets to tempt us kids further . Now the fantasy is computer and science related and trains are just there to carry around poor sods who cant afford cars .Why should kids like model trains when the universe is before them and fantasy wars and goodness knows what else is on offer .Model Trains are a lost cause for largescale continuity as there is little to fire a kids imagination .just leave it and let the coming generation make their own ways of spending a fortune on toys.Bot my grandkids played on the floor with toy trains .thomas was popular but its lost now in a sea of VR ,Taikwondo ,basket ball,gameboy etc .

New Rivarossi C&O Allegheny 2-6-6-6-6-6-6-🤣 looks interesting ,nay awesome .

Pay Bluebell to paint loco in that livery for a while then its a valid finish .Who could possibly argue with that .😇

yeah but it works better and the display hasnt fallen to bits with weird alian symbols so for me it works QED

I got an analog Sneider IMT243113 from Amazon .it was fairly cheap and works fine .Better quality than the yellow cheapies

Tramfabreik may well be your place to look .
