I don't think the benefits to physiology etc disappear when the drug is gone - the improvements gained through adaptation from harder training are potentially there for keeps...I think some "endurance" sports would be happy to see life time bans for this reason
-
I won't go into massive detail on this - simply to say the benefits of illegal drugs to training effect massively outweigh anything that shows up in competition...two strikes = a life ban for me.

How nice to see Jessica Ennis-Hill have her 2011 Gold Medal moment in front of a home crowd.

I hope it all goes well Dave - its usually a great day out - we've been enticed to play out at MOMING in Pewsey tomorrow which is an annoying clash but hopefully see you next year. ATB Chris -
It is brilliant....
-
I did....
-
I couldn't possibly comment... ok then.....it was something about "route selection"...leading to a completely mysterious short (obviously)
-
Can I add these shots - I did pass by AJ first thing when all was quiet and later in the day but Phil seemed to be dealing with operator error - I thought it best to move swiftly by after a good look at the Warships and Brush 2 on show..

"We children of the fifties often fail to appreciate how fortunate we have been in avoiding the traumas inflicted on earlier generations." How true...and not just the fifties..

Is there a list of traders/model railway exhibits anywhere? Thanks Chris
-
I'm no expert but I think is it true to say that an insignificant short can cause chaos with DCC but may not effect performance on DC - and a brass loco has many opportunities for shorts..
-
I've have had a few issues with my second loco and have agreed with Rails to hold on to it but I do fear that when I fit the decoder etc all the steps, buffers and under frame bits will fall off again - they really should be friction fits and I am now in correspondence with Hornby themselves as I now dread finding a gap where a bit should be and having no idea where it fell off! Chris
-
Looking forward to the trip up on Saturday - see you there Chris
-
Make a small jig so each turns out the same and hold bits in alignment??
-
or the ubiquitous coffee stirrer?
-
How about using some packing to spread the force - strip of cardboard maybe?
-
WW1 WDLR figures in 16mm would be pricey no doubt but very welcome Chris
-
This is rmweb - don't let that logic stop you..
-
Hopefully mine will not be far behind! Chris
-
I've never subscribed and over the years of early career, marriage, children etc etc missed or chose not to buy various editions - now in late middle age with changing and expanding modelling interests and hopefully improved skills and knowledge I'm now hunting down the missing copies...... ATB Chris
-
Hatton's photo suggests not?
-
I have now had a very positive response from Rails and the offending loco will be going back tomorrow I am not alone apparently and they are now opening these up pre-despatch Chris
-
Another vote for the "Album" - a fantastic resource.
-
I have identical issues - I emailed Rails yesterday and await a reply...

MLI 193 says that all were internally fitted for MU from the start and ""after only a short perod the advantages of such operation became apparent" and the external nose end fittings were fitted - can't find any photos after 1969 in MLI with no mu kit
