Why do scantily clad ladies keep appearing in my RMweb Google ad feed?

Sorry if this has been asked before, but to save me going to the top of the page, can anyone tell me if this is RMweb?

Don't think I'll be volunteering to be a passenger on SN10 - not until that landing issue is resolved.

I'm finding simple things difficult lol. I have managed to carry out a control change on a signal and thats about it. It did involve five track circuits and three lots of point detection but was succesful all the same. (OO gauge, steering clear of the bigger stuff for a bit)

Busy day today, what order do I do things:
- Work - pays the bills
- Delivery of a gym quality spin bike (for Mrs W) - needs building
- Shopping - Offers expire today
- Delivery of sound cards for my class 40 and class 50 - need installing and testing
- Delivery of new socks and a jumper for Mrs W - need trying on??
So top is work, has to be, it pays for my trains!!
But after that, I really want to hear my locos, but the food offers expire today and Mrs W also wants her bike built so it looks like last on the list will be the locos, the socks can wait.

After seeing last night's total insanity on the other side of the Atlantic, I have a modest proposal: for the sake of the salvation of Western democratic norms, Twitter needs to appoint Andy Y as their new global moderator.

Hello,
The summer 1965 I worked as a guest/trainee with Broom&Wade (air compressors) in High Wycombe. I lived in Flackwell Heath in what I remember was called an Industrial Hostel, probably some leftover from WW2.
I passed Loadwater station every day and especially walking home from the pub uphill hearing the sound of the big 2-10-0s(?) from afar. This was before the M40 was built.
From what I remember there was often a large loco parked there. It might have been a big prairie or a small.
I have just bought a Heljan 5100 in 0 Gauge and some other stuff e.g. a level crossing from Peco. When I unpacked it I realised that I of course should try to do something around Loadwater at least the signal box part and level crossing. So I found some info and the picture of the station in Wikipedia and also found that someone actually had made the whole station some years ago.
As a preparation to this possible project I have som questions:
Q1: On the Wikipedia picture
is Flackwell Heath behind the viewer? Looks like that from this map and my memory.
https://www.routeyou.com/.../loudwater-railway-station
Q2: What engine type was ”allocated” there in the summer -65
Q3: Is the Signal box of any specific GWR type and are there any drawings possible to obtain?
Q4: Are there any documentation of the other buildings; Station building and warehouse.....?:
Q5: Is there a model of the signal box type buyable in any scale?
Q6: Possible contact with the persons who made the model mentioned in Railway Forum?

Q7: Are there any more descriptions of this layout?
Q8: Seems that Risborough & District Model Railway Club had it on exhibition back in 2012. Maybe some pictures or other info is obtainable from them but I have no access to them
I try to get hold of info so I am sending this out rather widely, hopefully not too wide:
Rmweb incuding the builder, GWR group on F/B, 0 Gauge Guild, High Wycombe Model Rwy Club contacts.
Are there any other sources (City Library, History foundations for railways …)
Looking forward to any respone.

I can’t believe I’ve only just discovered where the status updates had ended up at. Did they disappear for a while?

Has anyone gone out to do some non-essential shopping today?
