  1. Very unpleasant scenes in Glasgow, always the worst time of year too.

      Indeed, reports suggesting numbers could well reach double figures. Very sad for all involved.

  2. Why do so many people disagree with posts without putting their point of view forward????

      That is fine, its when people disagree with facts that's annoying.

      I do believe Eastleigh yard is due some changes as I'm sure I saw a drawing in the office (I work in Pway design).

      You can spend unthinkable amounts on guitars. High end Gibson Les Pauls are

      I did mine back in October. E-learning then two days at the training centre. I had to do an initial test when I arrived followed by tests after each section of learning. Where are you doing the training?

      It' a good job I'm building my layout in stages, at around 30ft long it would be quite a big chunk of money to buy it all at once.

  12. Trying to find a decent 60W plus guitar amplifier on ebay. Not having much luck.

      Have a look at some of the Blackstar amps, they are some of the best out there without spending silly money.

      Ahh it's the wrong type of green for what I want it for. Although if the price is right I will still have a look. Thanks for replying Michael.

      What gauge? If it's EM then I'd be very interested.

      And to think that the 1st May will mark 20 years since we lost him. I was never around to see him race but every time I see footage of him or even a picture I get goosebumps.

      Cap'n, I had a spell of physiotherapy last year and eventually started training again but I tweaked my knee during a warm-up and haven't been back since (October).

       

      I think it's cartilage as there is something floating around in my right knee but I haven't been given a scan in over two years of asking (injury has re-occurred twice) and I don't particularly want to take

      I have the same problem with both of my knees. Although mine is due to injuries sustained to both through sports injury. The thing that worries me is that I'm only 18!

  20. Unsure which track to use for my new project

    1. Michael Woolford

      Michael Woolford

      I would suggest looking at either EM gauge (not everything needs re-wheeled) or OO-sf which allows you to use rtr locos/stock. It might be worth having a look at the 'handbuilt track and Templot' section of the forum.

      My hand took the impact, slightly swollen, bruised and limited sideways movement of my wrist. Hopefully not broken but I haven't had it checked. The other guy came off much worse, landed akwardly on his arm and appeared to have broken his collarbone.

  24. I wonder if an app could be done that you point at a wagon code and it tells you details on it?

      Not actually that difficult. Just requires a database to be built with the information on.
