Olly does electrical inspections, especially lighting. steve

Is her Elan still extant? The DVLA site has gone bosoms up at the moment. Thanks steve

James, I have built a layout set in a fictional German industry park. Maybe this give you an idea or two? https://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/62286-starker-verkehr-layout-sold/&tab=comments#comment-799079 I would lso recommend yoou investigate the German Railway Society and their shows (When they have them...). https://grs-uk.org/ Cheers steve

Oh wow! This brings back some memories. I bought every copy of this magazine, eagerly awaiting publication date each month. What was really daft is that, at the time, I couldn't drive and didn't even own a car... steve

The remark I usually get is "Do you know that woman?" and from there on in it's downhill all the way... steve

That would make an excellent layout lugger. steve

I have more of a problem with them spinning webs on my car, usually on the mirrors or rear door handle. (It's an estate). Sorry to go OT. steve

An outstanding example of car modelling. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/153989-alfa-tipo-159m-112-model-factory-hiro/ steve

Ventoras had a vinyl roof I believe. sreve

If a retailer does not have an item in stock, then why advertise it on their website? Most retailers will state "Not in stock" or "Not currently available" so avoiding the customer wasting their time and effort ordering it. I only ordered from this retailer because I couldn't find the item anywhere else, on the assumption it was in stock as it was listed on the website. A reply to my first (of many) emails would have at least informed me of the situation, they were awaiting delivery. Not replying at all merely made me frustrated. I am am not an impatient person. An explanation of the circumstances would have satisfied me. No email replies and having to ring up to find out anything is not good commercial practice. What have I achieved? In future to only deal with retailers I already know and can trust! steve

I gave up in the end, cancelling the order and getting my money back. That was at least done promptly, 24 hours in fact. Still, I won't ever consider using them again. steve

This is shaping up nicely, both on and off track. Local area to me too! steve

Ok it looks a bit like one of my ex-wives but???? steve

It's even got an ankle tag. steve

Jack, I believe it's only driven on one axle but does it pick up on all 6 wheels? Thanks steve

It’s not indecipherable as such, it’s just been, sadly, misinterpreted too often. steve

Saw this today whilst out on a walk. Nice reminder and using the old name board supports too. steve

Perhaps we need an Old TV Programmes thread now? steve

This proves Covid really does do away with a sense of taste... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-53995886 No doubt footballers will be forming a queue any day now. steve

If your rice is too soggy just leave it overnight in a bowl of mobile phones. steve

Another look makes me agree about the Husky. Going out on a limb, the car behind looks too big for a Minor. My guesss is a Mk 1 Oxford as they look like oversized Minors. steve

Hillman Minx and BMW Isetta bubble car too. steve

Given their age, the old 2 bob Airfix 16T is a fine kit. With the right amount of work they build up into a fine model still. As for couplings, I would fit a NEM mount for Kadees or use 3 links, depending on which layout for which I was building it. steve
