Mech Models out by St Georges' Park - although US outline based used to have plenty of basic modelling stuff.

I have no problem with Artificial Intelligence, it's Natural Stupidity that gets my goat...

Decided to check YouTube… This? Or something totally different?

Yes that's the programme.

"It's the only thing I've got left remember my (insert family member) by."

"How did it get in this condition?"

"I left it in the shed for 25 years."

It baffles me how those models can get into such bad nick, yet ask such high prices.

Watch The Repair Shed for all the valued family heirlooms!!

Not sure what chassis it is, best upgrade by launching it at the bin...

Certainly covers all the bases though!

Only "highlights" on youtube according to FE site.

If they are annoying as the NFL presenters on C5 I'll definitly give them a miss!

And it seems a long wait until Donny Park...

I know it's not everyone's cup of tea but Formula E starts this weekend...

but don't expect to see it on free to view!

It has disappeared like nearly everythingelse behind a paywall (Discovery).

Oh well, still got BTCC.

Now we're at the playoffs it is time for Mystic Bill's prediction for SB winners.

I can't see past......

the Baltimore Ravens.

And sometimes you do wonder if you've entered a cunningly baited trap!

Just like Norman Clegg outside Auntie Wainwright's - "I didn't buy it, I was sold it!"

Much closer to Baccy's version...

I'm not sure what size you require but I have a Ten Commandments track cleaner which uses these that I cut to size and shape:-

Through The Hour Glass ~ Vaudavillain

It is the same in the Class 27 (D5381). How do I know? I've just spent 30min trying to glue the b^%£% thing in!!!

The majority of the class was parked up stored out of use in the sidings behind platform 1 at Derby Midland station!

You just need one OH wire on the traverser which slides between the two wires on the scenic section. The wire should be 2mm longer to align alongside scenic wires so that a smooth transition is enabled.

I must say I thought the Jodie Whittaker/Chris Chibnall version was a vast improvement over the Peter Capaldi/Peter Moffett version. There were some absolute dire episodes from Moffett who seemed to believe that anything he made was the best thing since sliced bread - how about the final episodes of Sherlock? For me, The Timeless Children was one of the best episodes for a long time.

Great show as always. Good range of layouts & trade.

There were at least 4 previous incarnations of the Doctor in The Timeless Children (Series 12 Episode 10).

Anyone got a clue what this is? It's obviously original but i've never seen one of these.

 

Shop display item?

Clockwork - does not require track - ?late 50s.

The original and infamous incarnation of the XFL in 2001 had black balls with a red 'X' going across the sides. I believe the ill-fated World Football League of the mid-1970s used balls that were not all brown.

I seem to recall the white rings on the balls - maybe from Charlie Brown?

It just seems to me that for sport that has total TV coverage the ball should be more visible - watch any place kick or punt and try to see the path of the ball.

Daughters of the Night ~ Nocturna

Been watching MNF this morning (recorded C5) and I was wondering why American Football still uses an invisible ball? Premier and Football Leagues are using a mainly white ball at the moment but will change to a yellow ball as winter approaches. Even that major TV sport of Squash changed it balls so that they would be visible.

Must say that JBell & Osi are watchable this year with a decent co-host again.

Bury Me An Angel ~ Arch Enemy

The control desk is removable with care - just had the same problem with Mk3 DVT which is very much the same (Hornby) design.
