No, Gilbert just forgot to put his other eye in

30807 'Sir Not-appearing-in-this-poll'

Another recycled Deltic name, in (4)6102 Black Watch. How much of a spectacle do you have to be to get the nickname 'Ladies from Hell'!

Another for Illustrious, but I fear we're outnumbered!

3 things we're good at. Fixing cricket, fixing rum and fixing polls

Another one for (4)5564 here Gilbert. Can't let those South Australians win this one

As I missed it for the Peppercorn A1 vote, Hal O' The Wynd. Just such a lovely name when you hear it.

I'll also go for Lady of the Lake. Moistened Bint just doesn't have the same ring to it.

If it is of any help, the photo they shared on Facebook was a Maersk Line ship.

Problem is if I pre-order a large amount of models to falsely inflate the rarity value over time, I then upset the balance of the rarity and then have to buy up the next least popular combination, but then if I pre-order a large amount of models to..... NURSE! I think I need my medication again.

I will never quite understand the collectable values of model trains. In the last week, I've paid $500 (including fees) for a model that regularly goes for $1200, and sold a model on an offer for $1100 that I paid much less than that for not 3 months prior. The $500 model was a sought after brass loco, and the $1100 one a 'common' RTR plastic model. End of the day, the value of a model is not what it costs or what it sells for. It is how much enjoyment I get out of it whilst I have it/whilst I am alive. GT3 is a model I have wanted for a long time and was looking into options for once I came back into the UK scene after a break, and the Consett Iron Ore wagons are another. I model British to enjoy my modelling as well as modelling Australian seriously. Only one thing truly matters:

A quick one speaking of exposure times-is anyone out there using an original Anycubic Photon with Phrozen Rock Resin? I seem to keep getting close-but-no-e-cigarette with my exposure times on this resin.

On B17s, I'm going to have to put in for 2862/61662 Manchester United. Given that the team was originally formed of blokes from the carriage and wagon department of Newton Heath depot (with the team originally being named Newton Heath LYR Football Club), can you imagine how annoyed they'd be to see that name running around on an LNER loco!

Knew I should've given them a full vote each

I'll split my vote between 70046 (ANZAC) for the obvious reason, and 70014 (Iron Duke). I wonder if a certain A3 will vote for 70022

I think it's an ex-parrot

Thank you very kindly for that information. Looks like I'll go BN16 at this stage, unless any further intel turns up on the matter. I guess I don't need to keep that promise now . But I'll arrange the new interiors shortly, and look into the CDL mods-matching the paint down here would be the biggest issue with doing bodywork modifications to the cars. Fortunately I was aware of the buffers being included for the TGS-they will be fitted to the car (guards end only)

Long shot, do you know the numbers of Mk3s used for the testing? I picked up the full Mk3 range with the intention to make these very trains using 43123 from the other pack (and also to swap it in behind a Class 90/Mk3 DVT, and the Class 89). Whilst I fully accept the central door locking being wrong and other things being wrong for a WCML rake, and I have plans to renumber the TGS to 44056, I'd be interested to at least give the Mk3s some correct numbers to run with the 91/HST. As I model British more as a break from Australian these days, I can accept a bit of compromise but wouldn't mind doing it sort of properly. Incidentally how hard would it be to backdate the cars to pre-CDL?

Because at least the Manor and 47 are also being done by someone else.

The problem is, what do you do if you have these in planning and development with a lot of money sunk into them, and then someone else announces one as well? The Rocket coach is an example. They never said it was not coming. Rails decided to do that on their own and then Hornby showed that theirs had already been under development for a while.

Well well.... https://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/160553-Hornby-2021-ruston-hornsby-88ds/

My vote? At least one person who says 'Nothing in it for me'

No that's just Mike. He's been here so long even his words are wiser than the rest of us.

Can I just mark myself down as being impressed at photos and even video being found for some of those more obscure items-the poll team NEVER fail to deliver.
