B804 is one I want to model but haven't found any cheap Limas nor DC kits and I am not doing any more using Triangs!

Are there any good maps or aerial photos of this line, particularly post war? Thanks Martin

Silhouette cutting drawing for a branch station, took from plans in the book.

I have the book on the line in BR days and it is interesting to see what was there. NBL Type 2s really appeal. Any idea what this is?

In Teak or Apple Green?

10 thou 4 passes, 20 thou 5 passes but still need to snap out I put Xs in windows

I find this branch fascinating. I will follow with interest.

I recieved it as well and my road tax has just been renewed

I think the mould for the 2D TSO is damaged hence the cheeky using FO as an SO. I have more than 10 2D TSOs and so far 1 ex 2x BSO TSOs I have also made from Airfix stock 2C BSO 2D TSOT 2D FK 2D BFK 2E TSO 2 methods 2F FO 2F TSO only need 3 more TSO to finish my 3rd aircon set

2 BSO 2 FO = 2 BFK 1 2E TSO

Last hatch I drove in anger had both lift off and power oversteer. Was fun getting back end out of loose chippings.

I wonder what it would have been on TOPS? The SR Boosters got 70, a GWR Gas turbine got 80 as an electric. I think it is a very good looking locomotive.

I use their Lima DMS conversion kits.

AT prices are high 6250 to 17000 hmm If it was me, I'd do bearing shells then try again.

It recently had quite a bit of work due to rust, so I think it may be going to scrap as it is a time bomb on tinworm.

Anyone know much about Alfas I know the owner of an Alfa Briera (sp) 3.2 V6 Bottom end is knocking. Is it worth repairing?

Still waiting on HighLevel so do not know, it is an experiment.

I can see VanWides (BR VEV or VWV) and a single sliding door van. Definitely some of interest.

I have been questioned when buying limited edition models. "Are you a collector or a modeller?" "Modeller." "So you want one which runs well."

I get a work phone and I hate its bossiness, nicest one we had was a Nokia N8. My TV purchases are a 14" portable, a 25" 4x3 a 32" WS IDTV and a 46" HD LCD. All cost me a lot BUT saved me needing to replace. I managed to get my last CRT discounted to £1200, but the picture was the best I have seen from a CRT, ran it until dark patch in corner, knocked brightness down one level and sold for £50 with the explanation. 14" died a couple of years ago 25" I wore it out. People wonder how I can like tech when I have only had 4 TVs, but simple method of buy carefully buy once, in same time I had 2 TVs my dad has had at least 5.

My dad bought a Sanyo 6500, a few years later we went halves on a SL-F1UB HVC4000P combo which was 3 years old. Then he bought a Sanyo M40 I now have and a digital Panasonic Vhs deck. I bought a Sony 950 in 87 or 88 and used it as my edit deck. Since then got DVD and a few PVRs, but now down to a Freesat HD Humax due to DSO killing the original PVR.

I have been waiting for a 120 for years. So are making my own. 116 a very odd exclusion. Yet 1.66666 goes at 117. Lots of 2 car DMUs bring done. No use to me as only P480 was 2 car. And that could be bashed from one of the 117 models.

Taxation Second home should be a lot higher rather than cheaper. Income taxes. Makes them too high and the high earners change from paying in the region of 40% to the region of 0%. Ultra high taxes are a case of ideology failing when it hits reality.

I find I tend to get technologies that interest me when I need them or could afford it. My dad bought a Sanyo VCR in early 80s, I bought a S/H Sony portable in 86. Still got 3 Beta decks here, currently use HDV for videoing. Bought a DVD player within first year of general release in UK, I needed something to play films on. Bought a LCD TV at just the right time, now 11 years old and just coming up for replacement. No smart speakers, phones are nothing but a tool, got a PS4 but no PS5 yet as no real reason for me to get. PC is ancient, was rebuilt when XP was current, now on 7 but has full blown DVD burner and Blu Ray burner
