Hello, this was from 60 plans for small layouts and is designed to fit in an alcove. It has "Festiniog overtones" and has extremely high scenic potential. Mr. Freezer does not give any more details. Hope this helps.

jjb 1970, you said you were familiar with the levels of poverty in Indonesia in the 1940s. Was this really a quest? I presumed you meant you had actually been there. My mistake.

Well, this is obviously the railroads fault. As some posters on here will tell you, there is no such thing as a stupid motorist!

Cobblers. The working class people of the western world did NOT cause poverty in other parts of the world. They are not responsible for any of it, but they are now paying the price. The wealthy DO NOT. Witness top executive pay rises of an average 11% in the UK last year. Indonesians lived in poverty when their "leaders" lived in absolute luxury, they didn't share the wealth. Indonesia is an energy rich country and yet according to the UN although poverty is decreasing abject poverty of some of the population is getting worse, check your facts before pontificating. And don't think living there gives you the full picture, it never does. Been there done that! Try going to Detroit or Pittsburgh and telling them how beneficial the greedy companies are, but you had best be in an armoured car! However I agree with you completely regarding foreign aid. It is both paternalistic and frequently lands in the wrong pockets anyway.

That it unlikely to bring cheer to the unemployed teenagers in places like Blackburn. Their future looks more like zero hour contracts and minimum wage!The real winners in globalisation are the wealthy, once wage levels reach an unacceptable amount in places like Indonesia the movers and shakers will look elsewhere. By then it could then be the west. Just look what Caterpillar did when they bought EMD, close the London Onterio plant and move ir to Fort Worth and pay much lower wages.

I will agree with you the next time an unmoving objects leaps at a vehicle.

If you can't see far enough to match your speed and ability to brake, YES!Speed limits are the maximum speed allowed not the speed you must travel at, how difficult is this? Is there any way to make people acknowledge that the driver of any vehicle is responsible for what happens to that vehicle when it is moving, unless some other stupid driver hits him or her? It is no help if you can say you didn't see something if you are dead.

Just read on anther forum that 66413 has gone into the paint shop to receive orange and black. Can't make my mind up about this!

The danger of being overprotective, if kids don't discover danger in small ways then unfortunately it can happen in big ways. This doesn't just apply to railways.
