      I would suggest caution here. Concocting is still an offence in parts of Cumbria....unless you have written consent of the animal involved. You have been sternly warned.

      There are boxes designed to give the model total protection all the way to when you open them whereupon they try to act like a jack-in- the-boxes determined to hurl the model at the ground.

      percomotion

      I cannot believe the amount of people watch them do it.So they have watched the video realised they have taken there own loco out of the box differently to that shown on youtube put it back in the box and done it as described on youtube.It must be rocket science.

      People don't understand global warming. Although the title may suggest "warming", that's an average over the planet and you will notice that more noticed & affected at the poles. By the melting of ice locked in the ice caps (fresh water), fresh water destroys the gulf stream balance (less dense salt water). Cutting it off... Setting the northen hemisphere into a new ice age. Ice reflects the sunlight cooling down the planet and re-stabilizing the planets global temperature...

  19. It isn't black; it's white. I don't care if everyone else says it's black; it's white. Factual evidence that it's black means nothing; I think it looks white so I must be right. Aaaaargh!
