Sublime!

Stop digging man... You will reach the baseboards soon

OI !!!

I think will find the smallest is the zen decoder. Cannot say how good it is as i dont have one, but it is the smallest

Well.... I tried to think of something to say.....but fell short. The pictures say it all Nice 1

yorkie, hmmm. Got me thinking, Yorkshire is a bit like the uk equivilent of Kentucky. So i came up with these words to the tune of the beverley hillbillies... Needs work, but it is a start. for none commonwealth readers, eerr.... Hmmmm, cricket, Lancashire vs. Yorkshire pretenders..... Well think American civil war , just more serious.... Anyways.... I tell you a story about a man named Geoff A poor cricket man, never had a single laugh And then one day he was standing at the crease When up from the ground came some doubling speed Balls that is. croft Gold The next thing you know old jeff is out of there He looks to dickie bird, But he wont be helped from there. He picks up his bat and has a huff and moan And turns to the stands with a terrible groan Yorks that is , battered down

J I had to give you a funny because i could not find the "Tie yourself in knots" Icon

Another confusing thing.... Who likes marmite? For those that do not, how do you deal with that? Me.... I just don't buy it. However, there seems to be another solution.... Join a forum and complain constantly how rubbish it is..

Hmmm you go up west to see all the beautiful buildings, ..... er.. wait a minute , if they are finished why are they called buildings? Should they not be called Builts? bit like flats that are far from flat and apartments that are all built together. Such an odd language to start with, when people make there own conventions, like the railways and their ups and downs, it is no wonder we are all confused

Hi Cannot help with Dress, I only ever think of Victorian Era as being quite grey and lacking bright colours, but that thought maybe misconceived. Regarding the Roof, not sure of what is correct, but the top one, I can picture as being a once white, but now smoky and dirty colour. For me the second just looks grey.

Should that not be.... Llogoggoychical?

Nice one, but then Kent are always a bit Lewes with there terminology. Saying that, I do notice similar issues Bacup in Lancashire.

Dunno, but in Lancashire, from whence i came it is: Going down to that there London! Why? because on any map I have ever seen, South is down, as is London. The other major term in popular use is: Up North.... As the railways were invented up north, I would just have expected they would run from their origins. More to the point why do we not just use , north , east west, south?

Hi Raises the question which always confused me, why is it UP to London? Somebody in Kent or Sussex must have made that decision..... kind of counter intuitive for the rest of us though

Cool, however moving leeds castle, Chatham docks and tenterden to ashford will be a Challenge.

No apology needed, I did not explain it well. I am leaning that way too, that way most of what you see will be close track , and i see divergences on the ecml, so maybe the widening in places on AV can be expained the same way. Anyone , vote for the opposite method?

Hi All good information , some i already knew but useful anyway...But it was not what i meant to ask, so i will try and word it a little different if i can. I know the protype measurements and if p4 had been Hornby's choice all those years ago , and if peco had then not complicated it by creating more compromise by setting streamline a 50mm track spacing, things would have been a simple translation. On the existing parts of AV, i stuck, mostly to steamline 50mm space, however i messed up on the four lanes of kalborough, because at the time I did not know about the 10 ft, i am stuck with that for the time being as i will not rip it up until the rest is finished, The one thing that was a pain, is that things like Dapol catanery are not spaced for streamline track....go figure.. Nor are skaledale bridges, Bachmann crossing, scale scenesheds, the list goes on. So regardless of what the theory would say is correct, i was really trying to understand, have others found this a pain too, and if so how did they handle it. I am thinking, 50mm and widen when i need too, bit like the real thing OR..... Set track spacing and thin when i come to complex junctions. Before i started i was just wondering how others compromised on this. As i say all good stuff and it is a good topic of conversation which is good to continue, but it is clear i did not ask the question properly, so sorry about that and if any one has any views on the refined question too, it would be useful.

That is quite some movement. Did it occur suddenly or over time?

It was the wrong trousers grommet!

Anybody else findin RM slow today?
