Thank you David, and yes the Scenic Fiddle yard was being discussed.

Thanks very much. another year, another challenge as they say. CHEERS Kevin.

Hi Guys, Just an up date for here. Due to personal circumstances Building work needs to take place. This unfortunately will involve loosing about a Meter and a half of the POD. FAMILY COMES FIRST. There will be another layout on a smaller scale very soon once the work is complete and I have my BABY POD re instated. In the meantime I have had to advertise Toneleigh Bridge as a going / 90% complete layout, (advertised on Facebook, Gumtree and E-Bay, although I would rather not use that one). But if its not sold, I will salvage what I can, i.e. Points Point Motors Fencing, Bridge, and some of the trackwork and the base boards. I will start a new thread on the new build in the BABY POD once I know what I'm doing. FINALLY = Cheers to each and every contributor on here and my other projects for ALL your input and ideas. Some final pics I WILL BE BACK.

Hi Nick, Sudden change of Plan for tomorrow, My Layout is up for sale, due to some Building work that needs doing, (installing an En Suit from the master Bedroom) and so I will lose about a Meter and a half of my POD (Pit of Doom) the ex garage. I now have a chap and his dad coming to see the Layout tomorrow, so need to stay here. I hope you have a good show, and say Hi to Kevin / Hampshire Hog / Millway Dock. I was up at his place last Monday. All the best, Andy.

Cheers Bud, there will be a Full 24 minute Video out later with 6 of the Best. Not bad for un rehearsed and live for the first time. We discussed what we would do on the phone on Tuesday night and did them last night / Thursday. Stay safe Buddy.

Really looking forward to seeing @Hampshire Hog layout Millway Docks, especially as it will now be running in the 90's period.

According to Motorsport, numerous top-level employees at Red Bull, including Adrian Newey, reportedly have clauses in their contracts permitting them to depart if Christian Horner departs. Additionally, it wouldn't be unexpected if a similar clause existed in Max Verstappen's contract. They further assert that Jos Verstappen and Toto Wolff met multiple times over the weekend, including during a working dinner on Friday evening.

Somewhat ominous. Posted at 12:35 First time of the day for Verstappen The Red Bull is looking to stretch its legs in the possession of Max Verstappen. The three-time world champion is on the C3 medium tyre and clocks a 1:32.669 on his first push lap, which is over second away from Carlos Sainz's top time on the same compound. NOTE from me = Perez has just got out of THE SAME CAR, but is a lot slower, I feel his days are numbered as Danny Ric has done some impressive times. = EDIT, He / Danny Ric did end at the bottom of the listings. SEE BELOW.

Posted at 9:369:36 Post update Six hours, 37 minutes and 30 seconds left of this final day of running. If you've just dipped into the page and thinking 'what on earth is going on?', we had a long delay earlier on for a loose drain cover, in pretty much the same spot as yesterday's disturbance. So that means eating on the go today, as the one hour lunch break has been cut and the track will remain green until 7pm local, 4pm for us here in the UK.
