      Cheers

      Measuring Aveling and Porter 0-4-0T No. 807 for N Gauge model with DCC sound?

  3. And you thought 2 companies making the same loco was overkill. Another unnanounced loco (well unnanounced for another 26-28 days that is) is being made by 3 companies! Eeeeeeeek!!!

      You wait years for a fell. And then 4 turn up at once.

      The scary thing is that if all 4 come to fruition we could see some natural 'culling' regarding manufacturers, due to no return on the investment. I call it the 'Roco Analogy'

      Recently I tried to use my old tri-ang B12. I was quite enjoying the smoke - then I remembered that I had the smoke generator removed!

  6. So Oswald didn't kill him, he was shot by a secret service agent by accident. Fascinating documentary that!

      My reference to magic bullet is the round that hit JFK's neck and Gov. Connally.

    3. DJM Dave

      DJM Dave

      Yes I know, and has been proved for a few years now ( thanks to 3d computer recreations) to be not very magical at all, merely a straight shot with a full metal jacketed round. The governor testified he was turning to respond to Kennedy's cry of 'I've been hit' when the second shot hut Kennedy, and went on to go through the governor in a straight line trajectory.

      The theory of the final shot coming from a Secret Service rifle has been around at least since 1992 in a book called "Mortal Error: The Shot That Killed JFK" by Bonar Menninger. (The book did say that the previous shot, which hit Kennedy in the neck, was probably fatal.)

      Ah Dave has obtained a Star Trek replicator, to convert matter in recycled form into usable objects. So that's how DJM intends to manufacture - old vapour into rtr models - ingenious

      The thungs that were not liked on real BR seem to be the things not liked amongst modellers. Makes sence.

    3. RedgateModels

      RedgateModels

      I think that may be the point Dave - have most modellers jumped from LLB straight to Sectorisation and beyond?

    4. DJM Dave

      DJM Dave

      Quite possible. We have now sold out of EWS, Coal and Blue but have plenty of RFG's left.

      So, it seems that we need to give RFG a red from all loco's now, which is a shame as i think it, and LLB are some of the best liveries (post BR Blue) to adorne a loco.

  15. With TINGS approaching fast on Saturday (1 I am VERY much looking forward to attending) does anyone remember the start of thunderbirds? Is that a clue I hear you ask? :-)
