He can’t hear you. Turn the sound chip off.

Hurrah!! An unexpected weekend off!

Wot, no manhole covers?

Wash Your Face In My Sink - Dream Warriors

Quite right. I was thinking of Forest Gate, who I now find play as Clapton Community FC. Maybe Eric was playing a half time benefit gig for them?

It's The End Of The World As We Know It - REM

Carlisle United v Forest Green Rovers, FA Cup, First Round.

Was There Anything I Could Do - The Go-Betweens

The Turning Of Our Bones - Arab Strap

Play My Darling Play - Katzenjammer

Definite Feeling Of The Heart - The Rhythm Sisters

The J19 is obvious from the straight running plate. The J20 has a raised section. As has been said, PDK do both locos. Is this still from the IWM film of an armoured regiment entraining at Newmarket?

There was a two part feature in BRM at the end of 2022 which went into quite some detail about some of the stock and its origins. I'm sure if you ask here we can come up with something, unless there are any commissioning editors reading, in which case we can negotiate?

Back It Up - Caro Emerald

Walk On Gilded Splinters - Humble Pie

They can. Looking left to right, they start in the town, out of sight. Behind the church on the backscene below. There are two entrance/exits , one just above the Atlantic and the other above the 6 wheeler behind it. From there they can loop under the bridge, stop in front of the engine works and then back round the back, or they can go up to the station and loop round behind the buildings at the main entrance. To get to the other end of the layout, they turn left under the bridge and into the garage building you can see on the right here. This was taken in 2017 before it was fully operational, so the entrance is blocked off with perspex. From there they run along thre length of the engine shed out of sight before emerging onto Springfield Road and immediately left to pass under the bridge. Where the horses and carts have been posed below. This is where it gets really clever - Andrew has devised and installed working traffic lights as it's only a single track road under the bridge. You can see it working here - it's a thing of wonder. Vehicles stop at the red light and wait for traffic coming from the factory side, then proceed when it clears to green. Traffic from the Great North Road waits out of sight about half way along the factory building, just in front of Paul. Without all the bits and bobs, the video also shows how vehicles then climb up the Great North Road bridge, turn and wait out of sight until they're released by the next one passing behind the Ruston Hornsby factory. They then start the circuit again. It's not totally flawless.... ... but on the whole it works really well and provides another slice of entertainment for the punters.

What Difference Does It Make? - The Smiths

Understanding Jane - The Icicle Works

In The Hearts Of Men - First Aid Kit

14mm cetainly - I think I used plain ones on mine, rather than Mansell.

I Had Too Much To Dream Last Night - The Surfrajettes

Sorry this took a little bit longer to get done than I anticipated. This is the underside of a D171. I didn't build this one, I bought it unpainted but complete. The builder has reversed the fixing screws for reasons only he can know. Either he or I has also replaced the brake yokes with plain wire so the axles are removable.
