Just back from Burton Eng. Soc. meeting, interesting and informative talk / slide show on the history of Hunslet locos.

Spider built a small web in outside corner of Kitchen window. I saw a Dandelion seed plus its "parachute" drift past and got caught by the web. Spider appeared and proceeded to untangle the seed etc from the web then held it into the breeze before releasing. Veg seeds obviously not on a spider's menu!

Have we permanently "lost" the archive section of the previous incarnation of RMweb?  or have I just not found it yet?

Also my Gallery shows a series of black squares where the Gloucester Docks pictures should be... Do I need to reload them?

Thanks.

Just had notification from Talktalk there is now Fibre Broadband in my street. They tell mme that currently I get 0 MB speed, which if I opt for fibre @ 7.50 extra/month I'll get between 0 MB and 0 MB.

Got a notice from Microsoft .. updating to W10, only option given is to delay until later today.. no option to say "No thanks"

Item of interest to BCB followers and those with early pre-grouping interests. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/56610-the-black-country-food-and-culture/page-9&do=findComment&comment=1640969

Microwave "died" in a spectacular electrical display of sparks. How did we manage before these bits of kitchen-ware? It's "Black Friday" but can't find anyone selling them at discounted prices! Typical of my luck.

PennineMC...the suspense is killing me,.. pretty please ... just do it

Have a list of jobs for today! Now we have MI2 thrust into vision! Which takes priority?

recovered from a very enjoyable day (Sat.) at Statfold barn. about 11 engines in steam, some running double-headed. lots of other interest too.

Hoping for guidance on painting Plastruct assembly, (see thread in weathering, painting and transfers)

Like Stubbby I've a requesrt for bits for my challenge in Wanted. So far no offers of pre-war outline vans. But there again rolling stock seems to be the poor relation in Marketplace.

Stepping up from "Thomas" to the Challenge Diorama, isn't modelling frustrating? One step forward then 3 steps back, it seems! The way things are going I'll need a time extension to 2018?
