  1. What's offensive about the erstwhile (and might I add internationally recognised) flag of the DDR?
  2. Every car I've driven has had adaptive cruise control, even my first; a mark 2 Ford Escort. It goes like this: Look as far ahead and around as practical Process received information Adjust rate of progress as required by the conditions using a combination of the methods taught during lessons Apply same principles every time behind the wheel (Optional) take advanced driving coaching and test #simples
  3. Another 'rare' bargain. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/224692654487?hash=item3450b9d197:g:7xQAAOSwCNFhVhVj I suppose though, It might actually be rare, nay unjque. There will only be one that is numbered 599/3000
  4. Ever seen an elephant hiding in a cherry tree? Proves it's effective
  5. ISTR reading somewhere on RMweb, that bunging it in the freezer for a few hours can help with that problem. IIRC it was for a Bachmann 108 - but it might be worth trying?
  6. Maybe it's for the best.......
  7. Ditto, in fact my experience with my current employer has also allowed me to train (and qualify) as a mental health first aider. My first hand experience of breakdown has been invaluable, in a strange way I'm so pleased that I had the experience. At my then employer, I kept being told its good to see you getting better; my response was that I hoped to be different rather than 'getting better'. Being different might prevent further lapse/relapse. Well said!
  8. Agree entirely, including the example of the mental breakdown case (which incdentally I had the good fortune to survive) but I hope the term 'case' wasn't used by them too? My 'then' employer even suggested to me, when I had the misfortune to experience a minor relapse whilst at work, that my relapse had had a negative impact on others around me! Needless to say I don't work for that bunch of f**kwits any longer.
  9. If only you can get someone to employ an 'overqualified shelf stacker'. I tried it a few years ago, no-one would take me on as a professionally qualified engineer, they were so paranoid that I'd take a 'better' job as soon as one came along despite the fact that I kept telling 'em all that it was a positive career change I was wanting to make for my own wellbeing. Go figure!
  10. Hi there, I might be able to help. I'm away from my model trains at the moment, but will check early next week. If you get sorted in the meantime please be kind to let me know?
  11. Come on Paul, that might equate to some of 'that there thinking about it and modelling' rather than simply unboxing it and plonkin' it on the track. You never know, it might just catch on.......
  12. Does the ETH (or ETS) function on 45149?
  13. Currently drinking Spanish euro fizz, that was until I discovered a craft beer bar which has amongst other delights, Karmeliet Tripel on tap. I is a happy leopard.
  14. I might have an unused boxed (but old) replica B1 which AFAIK uses the same chassis. PM me if interested? Andy
  15. I have about 10 of those with sequential numbers......
  16. Maybe we can just all agree to say "45015, RIP" ?
  17. Why do you think 45015 should be grouped with 18000, 26020 & APT-E ? The latter are individual examples of step changes in railway locomotive development thinking which were closely associated with the investigation and formulation of traction plans for the UK railways. Perhaps if it were the only one of a 'type' your hypothesis may apply, but D15 'had' only nose end doors to set it apart from other extant examples of the class. The association with18000, 26020 & APT-E may thus be made through the fact that (more than) one of the pilot scheme 'Peaks' has been preserved.
  18. Yes, this one https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bachmann-00-GAUGE-CLASS-08-DIESEL-SHUNTER-FREIGHTLINER-08585-WEATHERED-BOXED/284418537414?hash=item4238aa77c6:g:c7YAAOSwOaBhIOqf&pageci=91f57e25-c87a-47e8-b044-ca9210b610f5&redirect=mobile
