Jacobs Or Hovis

I look forward to seeing her in steam

Nice tender flares.

I was listening to that song (and album) earlier this morning - spooky or what.

Stockpiling already, food, medication, warm clothing & models

An independent station, double your Jay Ay Zeee

Occasionally I indulge myself and use ....well, that would be telling....

I'm sure there's a web site for that

Occasionally I indulge myself and use a dictionary. Actually, with increasing regularity :-(

hmmm - it seems that p and td tags do not need to be closed under certain circumstances

only if you were declaring a sloppy 32 doctype, I would've thought

apparently it's been in the html5 spec for yonks, the W3C spec authors were very helpful (I will still be closing my tags though, it's good practice)

lol, Mike!

The Ahrons' 1916 quote continues:

There may have been another reason lurking in the Paddington mind. All trains except the "Dutchman" and "Zulu" conveyed third class passengers, and this type of being was not persona grata with the Great Western Railway. Consequently to convey him from Swindon to London at first class speed was a thing not to be thought of under any consideration.

Just to explain - my 1984 submission was put to the planning meeting which gave authority for schemes to go forward for development. I was at that time putting in stuff frequently and knew they never read half the papers until the meeting so the 1 April Agenda included as the final item a very innocent looking single page paper which ended with 'Group is asked to authorise the development of the scheme to convert the gauge of WR principal routes, etc.

The paper was only read b...

Exactly, CK

Miss P and CK are spot on. Clever chap too to design a floating harbour.

Cabot was also not unknown in Bristol

The clocks should count up for Dapol and Farish deliveries!!

We don't need a thread - they can live in the different banners.

In ye goode olde days, a Passengeer engine had BIG wheels, and a goods engine had small wheels....

Well all those GWR locos look the same

The colour of the curtains

Oh so true!

Eh ?

Oh yes.....

The Blind Watchmaker.

Once the market leader, they have now turned into a greedy grabbing company producing buggy software just like Quark once was.

There are alternatives . . .

Adobe monopoly strikes again. What's the problem?

This week's announcement that in future Lightroom will only be available by subscription. Ughh111

But you have to stop at Swindon to detach the Weymouth portion from the neyland portion

Who's reading between the lines on this?

Oh we've all been doing that trust me

Oh, that is a pity. Many good people seem to have left.

Agreed.

Disappointing. I can't see the point in falling out with people you've never met.

What item of clothing should manage Scotland, then?

A sporran?

As for the waistcoat, whats the prognostication if he's wearing it at kickoff and takes it off at half time?

There goes another theory!

In modern terms Swindon ran what would now be called a continual improvement program. Parts were standardised only so far as they were interchangeable to an appropriate extent, they didn't ossify faulty designs.

And thus way ahead of Ford.

Pity Hornby can't follow Swindon's example so parts are interchangeable between locos of the same class.

Excellent observation Miss P.

Not to mention GWR wagon red :-)

Thanks, but that wasn't the thread

Go to my blog and look at the recent enntry on GWR footbridges - Mikkel kindly posted an image?

Yes!! Thanks, Barry

The penny finally dropped. Very droll!

I blame George I

A worthy riposte to some real clap-Trapp

Completely unavoidable witha company which somehow combined brilliant ideas and standards with the complete opposite (which it hoped no one would notice).

I quite agree.

Noone ever built a great organisation on sheer logic.

Not tonight, Miss Prism.

He probably hides behind pseudonym on RMweb

Ooh,is someone producing the new Eurostar then?

Horrocksford.

like a kettle? ;D

I click on RMweb and it loads - nothing else seems to load before it, I think.

Thrown my box away. Think the instructions were still in it.....

there's a cat in mine...

Hope you don't have to wait for a demon to take you back in time to get out...
