I've no idea. I don't think it's a real type of train. Wikipedia explains that is defined as 'an occupation or any lucrative endeavour that generates considerable income whilst requiring little effort and carrying little risk' and 'a gorging on luxuries, since someone else foots the bill.' So I don't think that real trains are actually involved at all. As such, you'd probably be better directing your efforts at modelling a different kind of real train.

Perhaps the Necropolis Railway might provide inspiration for modelling grave-y trains:

You’d certainly want it to run well...

My wife was 22000 words over in her doctoral dissertation. She removed a chapter about post feminism.

I had great difficulty keeping within the word limit - I pushed a load into the bibliography, footnotes....

Ok, thanks all. I went and developed my Discussion section a lot more. I also went through my method section and got really detailed about what I did because I had glossed over some of the processes. I also rewrote and extended my introduction and conclusion (thanks, Claude). Agt613 you have me worried now, but hopefully it isn't padding for padding's sake and does actually serve the overall purpose of the study.

It's been like that for years

It's a known 'Bug' in the software that was given a very low priority to fix - even though it is so visible!

The software is run by Marvin

Try some if you can; that's what I did. I do like the NEC though, not a fan of the Hornby one's

Isn't it always wet in Wales?

Very wet in sunny Blantyre too.

is it ever dry?

Yes, went there about 4 weeks ago, excellent power up the hills and it was a bit rainy when I went too.

My wife travelled in Mongolia - she says that whole area reminds her exactly of the place.

Haha, Blaenavon twinned with Ulan Baator

I find that figs or prunes usually help. Failing that, a good curry.

Bran flakes do it for me.

You were in a hurry...

Good luck!

Must be a relief, congrats.

Well done - I'm supposed to be starting mine soon. Would rather be in your shoes!

LEGO is always fun.

Yes, it is.

Thanks - we aim to please!

But if your laptop had worked, would you have remembered the password?

Better than my 2days before Christmas the office gets broken into and the laptops get stolen! So when I go back the first 3 days will be buying new ones and setting them up... read no work done by me!

I went to see Rouge One. The story wasn't great but the make-up was good.

badum tisch!

Work expands to fill the time available.

Put another 10p in the meter

What topic is your dissertation on?

Just one hair? What about the rest of 'em?

Me too. ( But only after I've been to the pub for a few). Please ignore future comments.

Presumably the pigeon has now escaped back into the open?
