    Is it just me or are the new cabside numbers on Taw Valley a little too high up?

      They might sell you a ladder to see it better!

    is thinking about building a Wills Saint ... is it any good?

    1. Captain Kernow

      Captain Kernow

      Not built this one myself, but they are generally pretty good kits, especially for their time.

  6. Mr Brunel

    Has bought a s/hand Hornby Grange; the accompanying paperwork boasts that Hornby models are "precision engineered". Good ol' days, eh?

    Does anybody know if the "Right Track" DVDs on locomotive kitbuilding have subtitles as an option?

      I'll check to be sure - but my memory is of no subtitles.

    3. Barry Ten

      Nope, no subtitles.

    AS-Level exams all done ... hooray!

  13. Mr Brunel

    A question that's bothered me ever since I watched "The Titfield Thunderbolt" - at what percentage of piston travel does a steam engine cut out before it starts its run?

      Mr Brunel

      Not exhibition visitors with rucksacks - unless they answer to the name of "d'Asycone", of course.

      "Witnesses stated that he had been running behind Donaghey, and he stopped and held up his arms, shouting "Don't shoot! Don't shoot!", when he saw his friend fall. He was then shot in the chest."

      Does it come with a replica iceberg?

    2. Mr Brunel

      Mr Brunel

      The way the plastic is coloured, it looks a bit like an iceberg itself!
