I might have a  part completed Bar Car. Would you like me to see if it is this coach? It was a test build by Geoff Brewin from the original etch.

Phil

I already have the Bar car, running in a rake of 2D aircons. 1883 and 1106 are very similar style, but I have no information about 1106 visiting the Western Region (I saw 1883 in Gloucester twice)

I found a part finished Mark 1 Booth Car last weekend, I need to finish it then realise completely unsuitable as I bought the sides by accident (wanted Bar Car)

Very sad news, I have a lot of wagons and have met the Cambrian brothers a couple of times.

RIP and my condolances.

I saw an Allegro last week

Side of road and bonnet up

'R's

I cannot see why anyone would miss them out, or not add them when necessary.

Softening Ts can happen, but losing the Rs never.

But brand names working on trailing As to replace ER do get corrected.

Someone in our local paper says it is being withdrawn from mainline operation.

I am enjoying this series.

Howver the BBC show needs mute on one part time presenter

I think my best ever in a game was top 1500 woldwide in Killzone3.

Destiny has a good app, I can swap gear around without having to go to the tower to shove it in the vault. Only issue it those effing captas for PSN login

Makes me laugh - in a good way

No two sites I go onto have the same password. I use a formula to make a different one for each site. There are also 3 formulas,

the easiest is just forum passwords. (and I don't use my real name)

the next is for accounts where I buy things..

The hardest is for the credit card, it's the only place I use it, (but having a formula makes it for me easier to remember.)

I don't have account banking online..

As for the email account's unless Gmail and BT have been hacked they only have the account name not the password and of course they are different..

Yahoo have been hacked and they run a lot of BT email addresses

I have seen gushing comments on rather shonky pieces of work, seems odd to me, I KNOW I am rather average, but will have a go.

You can like that someone has tried, but some times you look at a model and think would it pass the 3 foot or now I suppose 1m (scale 250 feet) rule.

I prefer honesty - sorry Martin, that bit is wrong is fine.

I have learnt though from my own work what is acceptable paint wise and how it looks close up, I have mentioned it before along lines of.

Pictures show up every defect, yet in real life looks great.

Anthem, well I don't have time for more than one permanent time sink, so since i have put so much time and effort in I am staying with Destiny.

I still like other games, recent likes including Uncharted 4 and Horizon Zero Dawn.

Got Fallout 4 cheap and also Dishonoured 2 cheap.

Put > 100 hours into HZD and Fallout 4, I put 10 to 15 a week into Destiny 2.

Longest play times Destiny 1 or 2, then the other, then Killzone 3 MP, then Uncharted 2 MP, then the roaming games like FO4 and HZD.

Oh and I have some of the most used PS Move controllers, around 400 hours on my pair, on 5 games, (most on KZ3 MP).

That’s it!  Although I the name I recall is  ‘Fratton Bargain Shop’... My excuse is that, coming from Southampton, Pompey was enemy territory!  

I bought a wrecked Hornby 47 from them I detailed and painted as WR named one

That avatar looks good Tony, as to proper model shops I grew up near Gloucester.

I can remember Fletchers in KIngs Square, good, bought some Mainline Mk1s from there, also start of Lima. Another model shop up Westgate Street RTR and miserable owner.

Later The Model Shop and Cotswold Models, bought lots from those two, including Mainline Peaks at £7.50 each and most of my Airfix aircon stuff.

Also not too far frm Cheltenham Model Centre. I knew Trevor

There were other Gloucester Model Shops including one up Eastgate which opened after I ended up in Worcester, here is not great for models, had Antics and a small independent did spend money there, for my Heljan City of Truro and Bachmann Evening Star.

Triangs are so cheap on Ebay as well, buy a few, modify window size, a few Replica bits and they are fine, got a RMB and BG in one set. Detailing a BSK and making a TSO for my GWR150 set.

If you forget the Triang frames and use Replica glazing they are easy to cut and shut.

Treat them like a kit or scratch aid and all is OK

I need to finish mine still.

Your looks good

Personally I am not going to moan or complain because as Andy said the site needs to settle down and modifications reinstated.

I will even not bother doing any configuring on feeds until Andy mods are reinstated as I am sure something will happen.

Has the brightness been toned down?

I will probably post less since it takes longer CURRENTLY to locate stuff, but I am patient.

I know the pains of changing software and customising.

A message for Tony

As the forum now puts a mad T next to Tony can he please be given an avatar, something Little Bythamy would be nice.

With updated software which gives better resilience against security issues other features get updated to something more contemporary or have you still got buttons on your TV?

Actually my TV does, along the top, and it is under 10 years old. Some still do, but not that many.

You can try making some from strip works well for small ones.

But etched brass may be better

Just testing a feature.

Go to first unread post, works fine phew!

Just need now the content list so we can see our posted on threads.

But of course we will wait patiently.

I can't believe some of the ignorant, intolerant and downright rude posts appearing on this thread!

If you (and you know who you are) really don't like it, other forums are available, or start your own! Good luck with that.

This is a FREE resource (and a very good one at that) for heaven's sake, and a lot of hard work goes in to it.

And I'm quite happy with the new look, for the record.

I have not seen any rudes ones, lots of comments but no rudeness, we KNOW it is a work in progress.

But the old layout was nicer as it was easier to navigate.

Also due to using computers a LONG time I am not a fan of minimalist UIs and the removal of 3D cues.

We do appreciate the need to change, but it is the usual modern thing of add the features and trash the UI.

Got a new DVD, with Little Bytham on it

Will watch this weekend.

Nice article in BRM as well.

However a DCC wagon for £40!!!!

As to travelling, I once read a good reason for caravanning over flying and hotel.

You get a decent car at the other end (writers was a 3.0 Carlton)

Am I the only person who reads this thread who has never been to Australia, not likely to go, never had a reason to go or has ever had a desire to go? I hope our Australian friends are not offended because I am not a person who has this wanderlust for anywhere in the world.

never been but may be one day during retirement
