Looks like GVVT premises to me http://www.gvvt.org

Similarly with 'all' my Sheffield pics - in not one is there a 'board' visible

I know we've got 'R', but please let me post this one as well - if only for its (now) historical merit!

Pass me the brain bleach!

I just did a cut and paste, try this one instead? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-6-Scale-Seamless-Large-Breast-Body-for-12-HOTTOYS-PHICEN-KUMIK-Female-Figure/152594259449?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20131017132637%26meid%3Dd88e4d4adf13440ba8cecfdd10361773%26pid%3D100033%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D8%26sd%3D401380640312&_trksid=p2045573.c100033.m2042

Post now editted

Listing does say 'ask any questions' - go on, I dare you to ask why?

Platelayer's hut, 5th pic works best IMHO. Edit: bl@@dy autocorrect

Doncaster it is then!

B is for Belzig in the former DDR. Apologies for the picture quality (and the fact that there's a bit of train in it.)

How about an A-Z of Railway Station nameboards (only)?

...... They'd be the model railway equivalent of the c@rp eurofizz that it is.

What about using the MERG RFID sensor system to trigger one of a series of sound clips that fade in volume on approach and recede. With the sounds held on an SD card and triggered by the RFID tag to play the sounds starting at a point 'in the distance'. The RFID tag, fitted to the leading vehicle, and linked to a sound file for the train consist on the sound file player would trigger the appropriate sound for that consist. A speaker located at an appropriate position would then play the sounds. An Arduino, Raspberry pi or a dedicated sound player such as Pricom's Dream Player Pro could be the basis of the sound player. IIRC something like the Dream Player has 16 channel polyphonic stereo sound capability, far more than any sound decoder - the sound file memory is limited only by the SD card, there's no motor control issues, no cams to fit, fewer decoders needed, less cost and the sound emanates from static point source(s) and is heard at an appropriate volume level from position(s) only when the trains pass those position(s). To quote a phrase 'just Ike the real thing'! But, you do realise this will now extend the 'scale colour' debate to 'scale sound' and no doubt we will all need to take ear defenders to exhibitions if this concept catches on

Because he would be exposed?

Used this design for years, without knowing the components from your scheme I'd guess at : VR1 10K linear R1 1k TR1 BC108 TR2 2N3055 ?? Instead of using a 1A fuse - use a 12v 12 W car bulb - it limits current to 1A without going pop and will light up when you have an overload. Also 2n3055 (if that's what it is) is way over rated in power handling terms - try the TIP41 family instead. Re ammeter, ones like that are best used as indicators only - I'd put some banana plug sockets on the box then you can use your multimeter, in series for current in parallel for volts - and get a much more accurate measure. Rgds, Edit - corrects TR2 designation

Looks to me like a Hillman - maybe a Minx - but cant be absolutely sure. Beaten to it twice and wrong to boot!
