cheesysmith Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Ouch. I have had steel toecap boots due to work for 20+ years. Never go back, but having size 12 feet it is amazing what you can stub toes on. 2 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Dave, What annoys me about steelies is that what ever lands on your foot hits just behind the toe cap, or at least it certainly seems that way.

I"ll take that as a yes. Of course, there are some more-or-less sensible ones, like several other bits of Holst's 45545s. Let's try: Wagner's grand opera 70018 A pop song from the 1970s by Dean Friedman, 70016 Lerner & Loewe's 30742 The 30900 Boating Song A famous hymn tune, 30926 Walton's 34066 Prelude and Fugue Another pop song by Peter and Gordon, 45519 I'm sure there are many more, especially among the diesel and electric ranks. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have worn armoured boots since I dropped a 200 year solid oak ridge beam on my foot in 1982, a summer holiday job renovating a barn roof. I still do, even though I've been sat behind a desk or in a studio for the past 30 years! You never know... Current boots of choice 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satan's Goldfish Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Hijacking the thread for a sec, I've a railway related question for the crowd! Before I'm sent away from home to work for a couple of years, my daughter wants me to build a small layout for her to practice scenery making on. It's very 'train set' rather than 'model railway', and I've got to build the boards with back scenes and major structures (platforms+road bridges) then lay track. The question is; I've a choice of 2x track spacings in the terminus station (50mm centres or 70mm centres) and I don't know which to go for. Other than in ex-broadgauge areas, would extra gap have been left between tracks in terminus platforms for any access/servicing reasons? 70mm centres: 50mm centres: Any thoughts?... 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

simontaylor484 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I have been to the Churchyard and seen the memorial its a very moving place. It resonates with me coming from the heart of the Yorkshire Coalfield. The disaster has shaped our area through changes made to the design of colliery spoil tips. 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP to the children and teachers of Aberfan. I too was 9 years old and my only thought as it came on the news was "They are not going to have a half term holiday." At 9 you don't see the full picture and can only relate to your own knowledge of the world. That thought stayed with me for years. 5 years ago when I visited the cemetery I laid some flowers beside the cross with all the names on. My card said "When I get to heaven and it is half term, you are all invited to come and play at my house." It was a weight lifted off my shoulders.
