    Wow That shot really shows just how small Tube stock is. Are you sure it not N scale?

    Apparently seen at Tescos (from Facebook)

    Modern trains in NIR are underfloor diesel mechanical. Bring back steam I say. lol

    I thought the whole point of electric pickup by overhead wire or third rail was that the electricity could be generated by any method and the same trains and trams would still be able to operate. Central generation rather than on board generation (DEMU) has the advantage of economies of scale and regenerative braking feeding back into the system.

    That could be because in the picture the grain seems to be embossed rather than engraved.

    There are three photos so that would be either genuine or three photoshop exercises.

    There are no rivets to count so out come the micrometers.

    I presume Martin has given the correct start dates as opposed to guessing.

    Shot who? The husband or the doctor?

    Perhaps I missed it in the many pages of this thread but is there an explanation why the linked letter is dated October 1980?
  11. Colin_McLeod
    Very very nice.

    Maybe a blackbird in a cage would be a useful audible warning device.

    The prototype lay track very carefully and still depend on fishplates. Why would a model be different?

    I am just curious as to what is amusing CHARD and Teaky. My observation is accurate and my query legitimate. On the other hand I am happy to have been able to brighten the day for these two members by bringing some laughter their way.

    Does the Exacto range include keys?
  16. Colin_McLeod
    I agree that keys are a bonus but my query still stands.
  17. Colin_McLeod
    What has Hattons got to do with it?
  18. Colin_McLeod
    The Peco chairs have the keys "inserted" from different sides on alternative sleepers. This is OK for single track but not for double where the keys are inserted in the direction of normal travel. I can't tell from the pictures how the orientation of one key compares to the other key on the same sleeper but I hope it will be possible to rotate alternative sleepers to get the keys all the same way round. I know that means not really RTL but I think it would look better.

    And what about the Hornby coach in the Wrenn box!
  20. Colin_McLeod
    Sometimes that would be the right thing to do if it were only possible.
  21. Colin_McLeod
    It must be a big box!
  22. Colin_McLeod
    As seen on a well known model railway forum.
  23. Colin_McLeod
    What a plonker!

    The smoke units were fun but unrealistic. Just as well really as a realistic quantity of smoke would have us coughing and spluttering while we make a hasty exit from the model railway room to get some fresh air. Edit; Oops similar point already made above.

    Love it. RMWEB humour at its best.
