Oh, BRUNEL....

My quest for the meaning of BSJ has turned up some very strange answers.

Erm... You know that Windows famously alternates between good and bad versions, don't you? ;-)

XP Good, Vista Bad, 7 Good, 8 Bad, 10 Good...

Makes one wish to transfer to Apple. Son in law  uses both systems, W10 for work and Apple for all personal uses  There is no doubt which he prefers.

“XP Good, Vista Bad, 7 Good, 8 Bad, 10 Good...”

10 not as bad as 8, but that doesn’t make it good. 7 was better. Myself, I use Mac out of choice, and only suffer W10 because it’s thrust upon me by my employer. Even then, I still do most work on the Mac. 

It's like 'boxing clever', only without the boxing...

Design once and then use for the next 30 years.

Isn't that what Triang did all those years ago????

It's from the book of Brunel, Waggy.

There are two ways of doing things. “The Great Western way and the wrong way.”

Though shall not worship false railways.

If it were 0.2mpg, it could get to Paddington and back on a tankful

Ah but it would have yo faster enroute to Paddington so consumption would rise.

But hopefully not too much if you take advantage of momentum :-)

I expect there'll be a cartoon strip called "Billy The Fishplate"

Or 'Sid the Sleeper'

A commotion...

I thought CoT was at York atm.

CoT is at Swindon

I understand itsat Swindon

I dunno how you'll manage when they get on to north poles and south poles.

All I know is it's a bit cold in those regions....

Poles? Fairford's ATC ramps were dual-polarity, because it was single-track ATC.

Zap....Pow....Wham....Teabag...

One can but hope that Dapol will do a different series from the one chosen by Hornby.

Or that Dapol go for a Manor instead, assuming Bachmann don’t announce it!

Even Sir Nigel got it wrong, there's no such thing as a Seagull

Ever been to Brighton..?

What if they are trawling for cod?

Thats easy for you to say CK !

Alright then, Machynlleth.

The Great Western became very solid (crystalline?) after about 1925 and stopped progressing altogether.

Google has recently altered something in the back end for images generally. At work when I try to image search & do funky tricks with it I get awful results now.

That's odd. I used Google to identify a couple of fairly obscure images (of a bridge in France) yesterday and it found the source almost immediately.  However, it's possible that either Google is favouring its own competing photo sharing/storage site.

Always remember that if a commerical service gives you something for free then you're the product not the customer.

I've just carried out a search on Google for BR green class 37 using the search term BR green class 37 flickr.  Every result was for green class 37s on Flickr.

You have to be specific on what you are looking for, otherwise you'll end with random results.  Same with every major search engine.

I've found Google direct to be nowhere near as good as GSS.

Is this it? http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/84544-gwr-4000-star-class-which-tender-looks-best-with-the-engine/#entry1418481

Excellent find, Platform 1. Thanks. I will look at the Hornby Star thread, which I think goes into the saga in a bit more detail.

Brexit is unlikely to make any difference as toys and models are duty free or Zero rated under WTO Rules or a free trade agreement with Canada.

At least HM Customs don't appear to charge an Entry Fee in addition to any duty or purchase tax liable at the time of import.

New Zealand Customs Service charge a flat rate Entry Fee of $45.80 + purchase tax on imports of $400 (approx £217) or more.

A lot of the increased focus by Customs on personal imp...

taxation is theft

Import duty or VAT?

Thats life!

History is written by the victors

I'd like to see the comment you made before Mr Bowdler got his hands on it.

Where's Schroedinger when you need him?

feeding his cat ;-)

or not ....

But you still need to oil it.

Optical alignment is your friend here...

Gift of the gab motion.

You won't be taking the train to / from Paddington, then?

Are oxford rail using meerkats in ads now?

You'll probably starve over the next month or so, then.

Probability factor of 1:1. Normality Has Been Restored. (But your computer might not realise that yet.)

Hear that? That's the sound of Andy Y facepalming...

Got to keep Andy on his toes.... ;-)

Hurry up and do it

Oh, that can wait.

Oh Lord, I want patience but I want it NOW!

Definitely putting the cat among various pigeons.

I thought you said 'raiding'... ;-)

One good step at a time.

Biscuit? Or cake?

No problem - I got the parts for another Huntley & Palmers wagon at Cambrian's last stand.

Crumbs! ;-)

Why?

… especially when you pay through the nose to travel by train, in the first place.

When I was commuting, I really hated it when there was any mention of "bustitution" - especially when too few buses were ordered - and there was never any guarantee of when, or if, said buses might actually appear.

Bustitution! I like that term!

About 1435 mm, I believe.

Did Sir Bob play on Fashion or was that really Adrian Belew?
