The Golden Age - Asteroids Galaxy Tour

Lady Came From Baltimore - Tim Hardin

Come A Long Way - Michelle Shocked

World Shut Your Mouth - Julian Cope

It's on YouTube:

I have been looking for whomever made these and now find I have two sources thanks to this thread, There was a nice rail transported example on Penlan which I photographed some years ago:

Spy In The House Of Love - Was Not Was

Well, if that's the Cowans-Sheldon one, D & S used to do it in 7mm as well. Have you asked him?

Black Horse And the Cherry Tree - K T Tunstall

There She Goes Again - The Velvet Underground

She Comes In The Fall - Inspiral Carpets

I generally use 0.9, but you have to go with what looks right.

The whole University was a bit of a hotbed of pinko subversives all through the 1930s as far as I can see, although none of the Cambridge Five were at King's. When I was there in the 1980s, my next door neighbour (later Chief Economist at the IMF) used to joke that their department motto was 'Is there anything Left of Cambridge Economics?'. There were very overt campaigns to induce Barclays to disinvest from apartheid South Africa and in support of the Miners. I have to say my innate cynicism just made me wonder how much of it was trust funded posturing.

Up to about 6:30 it sounded like the Sisters of Mercy at the wrong speed. I enjoyed the last four minutes, though.

Sneak Into My Room - James Levy And The Blood Red Rose

The late Graham Varley put a smoke unit into a kit built B1 we ran on Thurston. He took it out after 3 shows. The volume of smoke was never really convincing, the smell was awful and some of the boiling oil spat out of the chimney and stripped the paint off the boiler. I'm not sure whether sound can be a spectacle, but the most effective I've ever seen at a show was Mostyn, years ago before loco speakers were common. I think it was a Class 40 but they had what must have been a huge speaker under the baseboard. You could feel it through your feet as the loco approached and the volume was turned up. That was just like the real thing.

Train Kept A Rollin' - The Surfrajettes

As far as I recall I've always found the supplied wires absolutely fine, Bill, wagons and carriages alike. 51L offer different gauges of wire if a replacement/upgrade is felt necessary but my coils of those are all but untouched.

I have an adblocker so I don't get to see all that crap. Here's a link direct to the most important part: https://twitter.com/GoodReddit/status/1762807507456508328

Couldn't agree more, Tony. If you're spending your own time doing it, whatever 'it' is and you're not having a laugh and enjoying it, you need to find a new hobby.

We wouldn't want everyone to know think that the whole layout is operated by a shower of sniggering schoolboys.

Blimey. Save those for a day when you've a clear head, a steady hand and a lot of good daylight. I built 7 for Tom Foster, from 6 1/2 kits - I had to scratchbuild part of one and it was what I believe they euphemistically call 'character forming'. I tip my hat to anyone who's tried the brass kit as well.

Strict Machine - Goldfrapp

I don't do Reddit, this came up on another site. Made me laugh out loud, never mind smile. https://www.thepoke.com/2024/02/28/this-tale-of-a-man-asking-for-help-with-his-stuck-cylinder-is-the-greatest-reddit-story-ever/

... and in any case, that's my faulty memory. I was only there last month as well..... It was Margaret of Anjou, not Margaret Beaufort. Margaret Beaufort helped found Christ's and St. John's.
