A map, a rule book some years of experience - I'm lost

Yes I agree - being bimodal it seems a no brainer to buy this model as you can run it under the wires or not.

What? Di-directional? Sir I think at the very least we are playing by Johnson's rules?

Isn't that move going backwards? Damn I wish I payed more attention at school I I miss a go then

Considering the effort Dapol went to in order to sort out the livery errors on the Class 68, I am surprised they have not done the same with the 73. I sent back my BR blue models but have kept the GBRF one, as the warning panel is acceptable against the glare of the other colours...but please Dapol, can you at least send us two windscreen wipers - you know I would even pay for them?

What is the biggest gamble here? 1/ The manufacturer intends to make a model but they don't know how many to make so they could make a loss 2/ We want a Class 88 but we don't want to put our money upfront in case we lose it in a project that fails It seems to me that both of these problems could be solved if Dapol start up a crowdfunder for the 88? Something along the lines of the SLW Class 24. Dapol get the numbers in advance and, if they are willing to be generous I am sure the cash advances too. We crowdfunders get the assurance of a reliable manufacturer There are potential losers - the box shifters - and of course there is a gamble on the exchange rate going against the investors. Whichever way you look at it - if we want to see this Class 88 made by Dapol (or any other manufacturer for that matter) then they need to be absolutely certain they can make as many and sell as many as possible and the only way they can do that is to engage with the buyers directly the same way SLW have done. My fear is that manufacturers like Dapol are going to continue to release as few models as possible. The UK economy is in very choppy waters at present. Saying that they are really showcasing themselves - Dapol seem determined to be manufacturer of the year - and in OO they would certainly get my vote (despite my own disappointment with the 73). I like the way they took on something as mundane as a DMU and the latest 68 and went to town on both. So come on Dapol - talk to us!

Has anyone played the Roman variation (and with Google translate) habebimus brevi deambulatio ad Aldgate [obviously going anti-clockwise]

I agree we need to miLE End all this silliness

I doubt any amount of Vaporub could improve the vocals of the Fall, unless you were BRIX ton [RIP Mark E Smith]

Thanks everyone

I'm trying to order Class 60 windows and Class 68 disc inserts Telephone and email requests seem to be falling on deaf ears. Is the company still trading or is it allergic to money?

I will pass the choice on to the next player...

There may be many more listeners - which is why we have to be clear about the plays, speaking of which, you didn't make a play. So if you don't mind and if nobody else is watching, I am going to take two goes (and as we all know - that's all you need) for MORNINGTON CRESCENT

I have no idea what just happened. 45156 seems to have the monopoly on wild cards but I'll bring us back on the board anyway with MARYLEBONE

before anyone starts us on football teams - I'm going to make the Waddington manouevre to KINGS CROSS ST PANCRAS

Take it easy guys - it ain't payday until the end of the month!

What a shame - you could have played Victoria and Albert in SOUTH KENSINGTON (or Brompton Road would have been acceptable) unless you mean the other kind of Albert in which case you might well need a station near to a hospital..

Sounds like it may be a KEYBOARD BIOS / BIOS failure I would get a NAS drive caddy, put your hard drive in and retrieve the data or get another motherboard and try your had drive. I hate to say this as I always forget myself back up, back up and back up again. Good luck

Some more progress found one of those twisty things they used to use to tie off loaves of bread engineer and second man - the cab is from Replica Railways From these close up shots it looks like a bit of tidying up needs to be done on the cab paintwork - guess I will have to sand it down or use a thick gloss to get it perfect or use an airbrush...
