Doesn't have to. There are other threads, this one could just stay dormant until there is news... Or at least talk about class 50 preservation. I wouldn't know a Hunslet Austerity if I walked into one.

Correct, due to plug and play it should know that you have specific monitors, you’re not making it a primary port, it’s the actual monitor.

Have you defined one as the primary monitor? You should have a setting to "make this my main display" or something like that within the display settings.

Have dabbled in running at various times over the last 10 years. I wish I liked it, but I hate it. I’m no good at it, which means I don’t want to train to get quicker (I’d rather ride a bike), so I never get better, so I hate it, repeat ad infinitum! It’s just so uncomfortable! I never seem to get into a rhythm where I think “I could just do this all day”!

The newest MegaPoints boards remove power to the servos 1 second (IIRC) after they move, so no twitching. Seems to work well. The DCC modules are £30, and the multi panel board (which interfaces with the DCC module) is £84, ergo if you're more than 3 boards, and want DCC, then you should get the multi panel processor. 3 or fewer boards and you may as well buy a DCC module for each board. I run multiple servos off a single output for things like crossovers which works well. Again the newest boards have a higher output to cope with such activities. You can reach a point with the older ones where they get overloaded and shut down. No comment on the Tam Valley ones though I'm afraid.

Yes, that's always existed. If you read the post though, it appears there may be a new option whereby you have an auction with an option for best offers. Not a buy now. Although I do wonder if it was simply an auction with a buy now (or best offer), where the buy now option disappears when there are bids IIRC. As said, would be interesting to see the item adb968008

Great race I thought! Real 'hero to zero' for Gasly, poor qualifying and then stuffing it into his team mate at the hairpin! Max is trying far too hard to prove himself still. He needs to calm down and stop trying for insane manoeuvres in desperation. It feels a bit like he spent a couple of years making "incredible" overtaking moves, he's still trying it but they're no longer working! Hamilton a bit off the boil, strong driving by Bottas. Great stuff.

I'm confused, Hayfield you seem to be talking about "buy now or best offer", but are talking as if you mean the feature adb968008 has mentioned? This seems to be a formalisation of the "how much to end the auction early?", where it becomes "what's your offer?", which is not the same as the formal "buy now or best offer".

No buffers = HST for Dapol, they’ve not modelled any of the other differences The end doors seem to be a random colour depending on who painted the coach from what I can tell, no homogeny at all.

That always bemused me too! An enormous layout of a slightly esoteric prototype in a different country. Still... who of us wouldn’t want to build our dream layout as a full time job paid for by someone else?! I wonder if his funders knew of his attitudes. Biting the hand that feeds...

I have 4 servos on one output using Megapoints hardware, and they work fine. I think I’ve got 23 servos attached to one of their 12-output boards - crossovers and what not.

Impressive. Like the junction.

Very cool!

More than that no one has character limits on texts anymore. Back 15 years ago when you had 140 characters or whatever it was for a text, or it would cost you another 12p, you had to shorten words. It takes longer to write m8 than mate now, and is utterly pointless. See loads of people do it on Facebook still, mainly grown adults on the model railway groups I frequent. It makes me seethe with rage.

1) Max ran Lewis off the track having gone down his inside, Lewis didn't not yield he ran out of road, if Max requires the other car to leave the road to avoid a collision one could say either he was being ambitious and didn't have space, or he was unnecessarily crowding the other car 2) there was an investigation, no further action warranted There does seem to be a blinkered view of Max's abilities from his home nation (or their representative on here anyway!) which hasn't yet been borne out in results. He's had a few good ones for sure, but he still makes a lot of mistakes, more than any of the other top drivers. I don't see the same with Hamilton and Britons at all actually. He seems to come under a fair bit of flack. Usually entirely justified.

Well in ours the only time you use an apostrophe for a plural is letters: “dot the i’s and cross the t’s” and for single numbers “all the 3’s” (although I’d write “threes”).

You’re right, most would. I can’t see Lewis being among them if Vettel’s there (in fact i’d bet significantly against it), and not sure about Ricciardo.

Can't see Ricciardo wanting to either, if Vettel's there it's very much a second seat. They'll want someone submissive without huge aspirations, or someone for whom it's a big leap, more likely they take someone from Haas or a reserve I'd have thought.

FFA/FGA I assume. There are Dapol FEAs and IKAs available, as well as FIAs from Farish, KFAs coming from Revolution and KTAs from C-Rail, but they are all more recent. I'm not so sure we'll see them shrunk myself. They're very expensive in OO, and we don't tend to see prices being much cheaper. Bachmann have been quite upfront in saying that there are wagons where the cost to do them justice in N is prohibitive (thinking IPA car carrier pairs for a start), so although long rakes would be easier to do in N I'm not sure there'll be the market.

USB webcam connected to a laptop? Ali Express is full of them! I've got a couple for that purpose but have yet to use them in anger. The picture looked reasonable though. Not entirely sure I'd believe the "full HD" spec!

There's a fair degree of arrogance required to get to the top in just about anything, business, sport, music, whatever. What often seems to happen is that once there you mellow slightly, Max certainly seems to be a little hot-headed still. It was a shame he took himself out of contention yesterday, would've been good to see some more great overtaking from him. I took my 15 month old son on a bus on Saturday - he loves them. The patronage were entirely over 70, and among the rudest people it's even been my displeasure to endure. Sure they're the first to moan about "the youth of today" as well!

Great race that. The whole issue with Kimi’s pitstop wasn’t good, broken leg for the poor mechanic. I imagine whoever cleared the lights feels awful.

Wait for eBay to do £1 final selling fee offers, they’re usually every 3-4 weeks. You’ll never get cheaper. IMO it’s still the best option for selling. Conventional auction houses are extortionate in comparison. I bought something recently with 28% on the hammer price, plus £24 postage as the minimum charge. The seller paid 18% commission.

How can you ignore the first train driving signalling expert humanitarian saviour of the Spanish economy?!

That’s how I operate my (n gauge) Peco scissor crossings. Not wholly prototypical, but easier!
