The Stafford end is largely accessible until reaching MOD Stafford. Beyond that the section to the A51 at Weston is largely indistinct with the cutting at Hopton filled and the rest of it incorporated into farmland. Beyond Weston there are short sections which are there but overgrown. Stowe-by-Chartley to Lower Loxley is intact and mostly passable and then a return to farmland leaving a short section up to the junction at Bramshall.

Thanks gentlemen; let's not divert attention away from a topic which is about some rather fine modelling. Thank you.

I'm gradually working my way through this topic to prune it down to make it more readable for users. I am working my way through removing the following: Posts which just compliment a previous entry* Posts where the externally hosted image has disappeared Posts where the image is of low quality Posts where the model itself is nothing more than an out-of-the box model on set-track (I did like the recent 'How realistic is my shopping?' phrase). * - this is way back in the topic and will be a continually moving timeframe of say 1 week behind where people can thank the poster of an image (although the + button is a more lasting recognition) but its relevance diminishes over time. Therefore if you receive a notification to say a post has been deleted the above gives the reasons why. This post will self destruct in a week or two when I've got through to the current date.

Well you've created a blog and it's appeared in the right place Frank so you can tick that off! A good blog features interesting content and individual blogs can gain quite a following (as I see how many notification messages go out when there are updates to certain blogs) and often the comments/dialogue that follows an entry is nicely related to that entry before the blog writer moves onto the next subject of his choosing. It's about giving the writer more control of the flow of information than a traditional topic does. Good luck!

Ahh yes; the silly Axis of Evil comments: Mind you it looks as though he's been given some more challenging to think through recently - http://www.eveningex...le.aspx/2135852 Maybe it was a disenfranchised and bitter Action Man? Look I have to shop and live near people like this: Maybe I should let the complainant know that they've lost their argument in a paper based form of Godwin's Law?

I can't be doing with the snail mail approach so I used the Comments facility on their page so they could lob my rant into the bin more efficiently. That's my bit for the environment today.

Thanks Pete, you know how things then get repeated as fact.

Or lazy. It must be like Grand Theft Auto in Woodseaves. Funny; it looks fairly sleepy when I drive through it.

One of my pet hates in life is the garbage that gets an airing in local newspapers on the pretext of it being newsworthy. I like living in a town where nothing interesting happens so when a non-story is engineered it really annoys me. Our local rag's headline story this week is about a "massive invasion of privacy" because the kids' playground can be seen in the distance of a webcam which is recording the redevelopment of a college building. For god's sake why don't small-minded busybodies go and concentrate on debt, famine and disease as something to actually worry about rather than live under some illusion that a ####### is going to be interested in a small moving dot on a webcam. I think the whole scenario of some two-bit journo who can only dream of aspiring to hack voicemails of the rich and famous giving page space to such tripe should really re-think their career and do something useful. Tell you what, drop the hyped up silliness and stick an ad that actually does something for kids on their front page instead.

Not according to Wikipedia and other sources - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Robin_Milne Is there any corroboration for that?

How typically strategic of you! At least you and Chris always have a layout to disappear off behind on the pretext of some emergency. I just remain nobbled!

Yes, the Moss is quite an eerie place Bob. It's many years since I've been on site but it certainly would be a foolish person to have strayed off the paths. The party trick used to be to jump up and down and start all the trees swaying wildly as their roots moved about in the mush. Similarly I've known the tales of the lost loco but have never seen any factual evidence; probably just some of the mystique which has grown around the site. The plane crash (1994) recovery was certainly hampered by wreckage being scattered into an area that wasn't safe for recovery teams.

Just to clarify that this wasn't from Kernow!

I've been quite astounded by their cavalier attitude to the 'net myself today. I called them to discuss the matter and got a similar carefree approach whilst feeling they're doing others a favour.

Sorry; it just came across as spamming as you'd posted it in 5 separate topics in quick succession. Such behaviour is not fair upon forum sponsors and those who have had sought permission before posting information.

Wrong forum area; breach of forum rules. Please do not do this.

That's correct.

The diorama must be displayed on its own as an entry but of course you may include it in a larger layout after its completion. Good luck!
