    Same here, but I checked my bank and no payment taken, checked with Patrick on support who said there was an error with Partial.ly and they were working to fix it.

    Made me think of these - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montech_water_slope#/media/File:France_-_Montech_-_Automotrices_de_la_pente_d'eau_-_2005-01-15.JPG

    Looking at the project status page, still showing as in production https://www.accurascale.com/pages/projects

    Lights out, and away we go!

    So it’s been a while since I originally started this post, baseboards are all complete and I’ve pinned a trackplan to the surface ready to start laying track, m pleased with progress so far, but quite slow going. Thought I’d share some photos I’ve taken along the way. I’m building the viaduct from Key Model World, I’ve actually made 2 as I’m trying to join them to make a 4 road viaduct.

    Tonbridge today

    Went to Tonbridge MRC exhibition today, rude not to check out what was at the GBRf yard…

    They’re digging up and replacing track at Wivelsfield…

    Like the new status page (this is where someone tells me it changed months ago)

    Little announcement - could it be N gauge related?

    Finally managed to have a proper look at my 2, they are excellent! I nearly managed to start laying track today, but got distracted may be next weekend. Need to get a move on as need to see these in action.

    Ok, my wallet starts getting worried when you post pictures like that, but it’s fine I have a plan - just bought a ticket for tonight’s Euro lottery.😜

    This is exactly my problem - tempted to get a smart plug just so I can ask Alexa to turn it off and on again

    Our TV does that as well - Sony Bravia - it’s Android based for all the apps etc. none of which I use as it’s just a monitor for Sky Q/Apple TV devices. Still annoying though, also the TV has got a habit of rebooting itself, or just not talking to the Amp/Sky so everything needs to be reset at the wall. I’m assuming it’s because the handshakes between the devices haven’t quite happened in the right order - spent many hours on the various help desks and they all blame each other.

    Part of me wants to fast forward 100 years to see how things like HS2 end up (although that may be depressing) - going back in time I would go back to the early eighties- had some great days out with Mum and Dad from Brighton by train - destinations that stand out were York, Penzance and Aberystwyth. I loved the sound and smell of 125’s at Paddington or Kings Cross - much better than the slam mk1 emus that took us to London. I was too young to appreciate it back then, but I’d love to go back.

    What’s everyone’s predictions this year? Will Red Bull (Max) be dominant again or will it be closer?

    Stumbled across the first episode while channel surfing earlier - thought it was really good, iconic stock and liveries from 25-30 years ago. Thought the late Victoria Woods commentary wouldn’t be that different based on the railway of today

    Thought this was an interesting announcement in their newsletter.

    And the main event (from Bedelands Crossing just north of Wivelsfield)

    While I was waiting for the Black 5 this came by…

    Timings on Real Time Trains https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:U55480/2023-12-02/detailed and https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:U55477/2023-12-02/detailed

    Saw this on Locomotions stand at Warley today.

    Not sure if you’ve seen the video interview with Andy Y and Fran in the More Model Ideas thread, 14 minutes in Fran says there’s some N gauge news coming in 2024

    Oh dear what have I done, I just couldn’t resist and bought a sound enabled version of 5741 - I don’t know what it is about them but these have to be my favourite steam loco. I’m hoping that by Q1 2025 I would have finished my layout, not sure it fits as it is going to be modern image. It will be my first DCC loco (and sound) but it has finally dawned on me as well that I need to switch to DCC to make the track design I want work well. Time to start upgrading my class 37s with Accurathrash speakers and chips

    I’ll usually have the pre-race build up on in the background but will be doing other stuff, only stopping to watch the race, I do like some of the features and Teds post race summary. That said with the start time today I didnt watch the prerace build up, and only started watching when I got up so probably about 90mins after it started - have found today a slightly annoying feature of Sky Q, the recording was in UHD and would show on the mini box so couldn’t watch it from bed
