Yorkshire south yorkshire if you believe in it...

Yorkshire is split into 3 'Ridings' - and South isn't one of them (wasn't it the title of a soap drama similar to Dallas?)

A few others - Edinburgh (pronounced Edinborough), Middlesbrough (pronounced Middlesborough) and Brough (in Cumbria) pronounced Bruff

or dare I suggest treat the order half with the saving (didn't mention that above!) LOL! 

I guess you mean 'other'! For some of us that doesn't matter (any more).

Are the wagons just stored loose in those boxes? Given the detail on some of the more recent items available from people like Accurascale (there are others!) I'd be very reluctant to store them without them being secure and unable to move around.

But I like the idea of easier accessibility and changing of running stock

Well they could be singing the Midnight Train to Georgia (along with Gladys Knight)

Great piece of camerawork - wonder who it refers to (there's so much choice!)

Those wipers look like they have stopped mid-swipe rather than being parked. 

Perhaps the driver wanted to put newspaper under them in case there was a frost overnight!

Certainly pushed the bar high to beat next year.

And just like the late DIck Fosbury they're obviously using a unique approach to make sure they get over the bar each time

Or to utilise one of EM's famous quotes - "we're making all the right models, but not necessarily in the right order"

Just a quick question out of curiosity - why is your 92 running with panto down yet the 87's are running with both up!

I think Hornby are missing out here they could revive the Blue Peter railway for the kids of today.  It would be be an ideal win win venture another free advertising opportunity getting youngsters interested. 

Do the kids of today watch Blue Peter - is it still broadcast? Unless things have Facebook / Twitter / Instagram ... feeds these days kids won't see them

From now on if you wish to follow the build then it’ll be covered on the BBMR facebook page with a link from Realism Redefined. 

 

 

Can you please clarify what Facebook page to look for - a search for BBMR throws up the British Bone Marrow Registry!

Hi @Graham108,

 

Thanks for your post, I plan to have isolating section switches wired in line with the rotary switches that will direct power to specific sections.  

 

Does that make sense?

Steve

As long as it makes sense to you that's all that matters

Forgive me if I'm being a bit thick here, but with only 1 'switch' governing the exchange sidings, as an example, how will you direct power to individual tracks? Or do you not plan to 'store' locomotives in there?

I recently placed some adverts in the 'Free to a good home' section - as they were taken I selected the 'Hide' option in the Moderator Actions - hitting Save displayed the following (although the posts do appear to have been removed from display):

 I'm a dab hand at air guitar

Aren't we all! But I'm a bit confused by your question and some of the answers. Surely a left-handed person playing a guitar left-handed will be the same as a right-handed person playing a guitar right-handed - albeit in a mirror. As long as the strings top-to-bottom are E A D G B E the chord diagram should be the same - you can get them quite easily - https://www.google.com/search?q=left+handed+guitar+chords&rlz=1C1CHBF_enGB1040GB1040&oq=left+handed+guitar&aqs=chrome.3.69i57j0i512l5j69i60l2.7506j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

If you look at a right-handed guitar the scratch guard will be under the strings - so you may need a purpose-made left-handed guitar or one with two scratch guards.

My money says he was referring to the Class 66 announcement - his reference to Ebay being the Hattons' 66's up for sale
