    A Sunday. A miserable winter's evening. 600 online and I can't remember the last time RMweb crashed. Somebody deserves a pat on the back.

      Success? That's the last thing we want. A traditional lazy English summer will do fine.

    The length of an inch was increased fractionally to 25.4mm exactly by the Weights and Measures Act 1963. To measure steam-era prototypes you should use steam-era ruler!

      sixteen 12by 10s

      Is that expanded steam or compressed steam?

    The Similar Topics were easy to turn off simply by clicking the minus symbol above them. The same for any other bits of RMweb which you don't like. The main advantage of Andy removing them entirely is the reduced load on the server.

    During the recent devastating floods in Queensland, Australia, the front page of the Morning Bulletin of Rockhampton on 6 January included the headline "30,000 pigs swept away in flood".
