Thanks for the explanation. I am pleased that things are going well for BRM. It is always nice to have a good selection of magazines to choose from each month.

I buy which ever magazine has articles I am interested in. If you hide your 'contents page' inside a poly bag, may I suggest that you keep your WoR 'Latest issue' entry up to date, so I/we can see if there are articles of interest. It currently showing the May issue. I will still be disinclined to spend £9.99 for BRM when it is bundled with assorted other publications that I don't want. As a matter of interest, are your new improved sales figures based just on previous BRM sales or the combined sales of BRM and Traction, before the merger? Thanks.

Are those problems a major issue in Byfleet? I can't say I have noticed them in Harry's, our local newsagent, or the WHS just across the road from him.

I always check the make and year of manufacture or date of first registation on the DVLA website, before adding my caption, so I know that it is valid.

That is because of the spacing I assume. GIG 1300 would be OK??

Here's one caught out of captivity. I don't think I have uploaded it here previously.

Another batch from Eastbourne yesterday

A couple more from Eastbourne yesterday

Nos. 3 & 4

Second of many - but not all today! 1938 Lagonda 4.5L.

Was this you? Eastbourne today. More to follow

"With its yellow feet, which it uses to flush prey while feeding in shallow water, the Little Egret stands out among its heron relatives." The golden feet are a distinctive feature. And yes, not so small !

It is possible to make improvements to old photos with software like Photoshop Elements, but it takes time and a bit of working out which tools are best for which types of faults. I spent under 15 minutes achieving this. Maybe others can get better results.

Would any of the gates on this fret be of use, or do you need multiples? https://www.scalelinkfretcetera.co.uk/product/slf008/ Satisfied customer status!

Two good-looking locos. I wish my spring cleaning turned up such goodies.

Don't forget that Fair Price kits are plain board - you will need to paint it if the plain surface is what you want. If not, you will need to apply a suitable layer of moulded plastic, embossed card or brick paper.

If you are going to chop panels about, why not start from scratch using plastic brick, stone, tile or slate sheets by the likes of Slaters or South East Finecast. There will be a host of detail accessories you can add - doors, roller shutters, vents, air-con units, drain pipes etc. The 3D printing market is bringing out new stuff daily. I don't know about 7mm scale, but in 4mm there are several laser cut kit manufacturers of low relief modern warehouses. Their kits tend to have the main wall as a flat panel, so you can decide on the depth and build out just as much as you need.

A couple of examples - they do others https://www.scalemodelscenery.co.uk/kx007-oo-low-relief-industrial-unit-side-wall-1-oo--4mm--176-8176-p.asp https://www.scalemodelscenery.co.uk/kx060-oo-low-relief-modern-industrial-unit---oo--4mm--176-9997-p.asp Later ---- They actually have a page with all their modern industrial buildings on it. https://www.scalemodelscenery.co.uk/oo-gauge-industrial-buildings-51-w.asp/#modern All the stuff I have had from SMS has been well designed and good value. Another series of laser cut buildings I have heard good reports of, although I haven't bought from them is Fair Price.Their kits are, as their name suggests, very competitively priced. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/124512591490?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20201210111451%26meid%3D212881df80be40238b9c6d3a4f56ecbe%26pid%3D101196%26rk%3D11%26rkt%3D12%26sd%3D166712023610%26itm%3D124512591490%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D4429486%26algv%3DSimplAMLv5PairwiseWebWithBBEV2bAndUBSourceDemotionWithUltimatelyBoughtOfCoviewV1&_trksid=p4429486.c101196.m2219&itmprp=cksum%3A124512591490212881df80be40238b9c6d3a4f56ecbe|enc%3AAQAJAAABMKAGZatwWrSFioKhyF05YYps7xtgOI2Vu0BqB4BERv%2FNTfrUNkP50TZAJfREiGj7R%2BA2x2E5zTqSs43jfR6uCcmt8%2B%2BTUdobg9SfOq%2BIqjUBndYE9Gnl7KlKOMVjnkjucnYwAQgZYa%2BnGHgWAbxmImZKdOyDbzurSz2zlNxJaueVkXKYNq8P3hIirTYxHJ%2BmbRZM7MUjTyDWaHqaH8X%2B6Q0nbwt8fawanaYW3G1rrVNOuZDC8R7ctAOThMBLjn5phM0OW3Qzj3uZmB7Typh58%2BPgBw9tfwUgVHIgjHsZ5L7D80lWJQB1hBa3VOgs1xwDlMWjDoDk7LqwzkwwjBCoMxXLAgtqlZAI7PUFkQO87XxQjkZ4MKJYZYo25DtkE2P1sS8HmNHvUSy0wPEGPJ7jXs4%3D|ampid%3APL_CLK|clp%3A4429486&itmmeta=01HVYYRAH5KQW09ZPZZVVRQGM2

Here's a prescription to lift your spirits - from my family archive - The Ivins figure in my family tree three and four generations back. 1886 in English Bicknor in The Forest.

I thought so 50+ years ago. "There are a few things that I know are not right"!!! but I was but a lad.

'pictures on Flikr' or Flickr even!

Depends on one's viewpoint - King Richard 1 led the English knights on the Crusades against the Muslims.

This looks like two 155s coupled together on a Hereford to Oxford service in 1991 and another pair on a Cardiff to Penzance service in 1988.

Our local bus companies have tracker apps which allow you to check whether a bus is coming and to track their progress on the map. Handy, especially for those stops which don't have a display on the bus stop.

Will a whacked out sign do instead? Something about the speed limit on the Sussex Ouse, just north of Newhaven.
