  1. How does that approx. 1/2 ounce affect the loco's haulage capacity.
  2. I was looking something up on Quora, and I came upon this sentence: Here is a link to the Hawaiian Volcanoes Observatory, they would measure lava temperatures, but they may not be responding to inquiries since the Government has been shut down because the President has a fragile ego and is throwing a temper tantrum because he wants to be remembered for a great wall. Alternatively, perhaps he is thinking of being interred in this wall like the Pharohs were interred in the Pyramids.
  3. That's about right, I would say. Following on from that I would suggest that if you are a railway modeller don't buy a house that was built after the second world war.
  4. Must agree with you about Hunter Valley wines. I first came across them in bicentennial year, when I was in Oz for a conference, and the following week some of us did a "winery crawl" coach trip up the Hunter Valley. For some reason, they seem to be more expensive here in the UK (when you can find them) than most other Australian wines, but that's probably because they taste better than other Australian wines.
  5. "You're barred," said the punctuation nazi.
  6. What about "race" as in "ball race"?
  7. Not necessarily. She might have weighted it so his desired result never comes up.
  8. It could be difficult for Peco to make longer items, such as a scissors crossover in OO, as their machinery isn't long enough to cope. For an example of how they have had to make a work-around, see their O-gauge long crossing.
  9. Can you give us details of this new thread?
  10. I thought Polly Murs were those plastics that are causing problems in the oceans.
  11. Well, well, who'd have thought it? Today's news is very welcome. Can I do this again and get the same result within 3 weeks? Wouldn't mind a 4SUB and an Electrostar.
  12. I weighed mine (loco only) and I'm afraid to say it's 210g, hence my wanting to add 100g.
  13. Ah, sorry; I don't go that far north, normally.
  14. Is that K4 a GWR parcels van or a Pennsylvania 4-6-2?
  15. It doesn't like dragging just 4 bow-ended suburbans up my 1 in 75 helix without slipping. As for 8 coaches ...
  16. I think the loco is too light, and could do with an extra 100 grams at least.
  17. Pardon me for being pedantic, but why would you pull off a spare lever?
  18. Can you see the difference? I can't, so I'm not bothered; but I can understand it might bother others. As n aside, and being pedantic, with my mathematician's hat on, that 13.94 or so inches apart is probably 14 inches apart.
  19. Thank you for posting this. Is there any room for adding extra weight to the loco?
  20. Town? With a population of 69 that isn't even a village; it's a hamlet. How can they get away with calling it a city?
  21. Yes. Sorry, my station will only accommodate 8 coaches.
  22. https://familyguyfanon.fandom.com/wiki/Buzz_Killington
  23. We didn't throw them out; they left of their own free will. Bunnings thought d-i-y in the UK was the same as in Oz. Big mistake, resulting in big loss of money.
