    And the link couplings are still a PITA for the operators, but it's a fun layout to watch and the oprators are friendly enough too.

    Alderford, in it's new roundy roundy guise. Quite an interesting change, certainly remains popular with the exhibition crowds and deservedly so.

    So despite having a sound 08 now on order I've decided to hardwire my existing 04 and 08 rather than trade in - the values were quite low and I don't fancy a return to ebay so I thought what the hell I should get the soldering iron out, two Zimo chips purchased today. Interesting there is a blue 08 currently on E-bay - not chipped so DC at 165 pound with 8 bids, not sure why so high when Rails had one of 70 quid today at Doncaster.

    I think the fact that the rest of the page indicates they are looking for stock suggests it is a temporary closure because of the ill health. Perhaps you should try the email address, it may simply be that being ill they cannot get to the post office to mail things so don't want to take orders sales at present.

    Show was heaving this morning, some layouts I had to wait until the afternoon to view. Big thanks to the organisers, it’s been a while but it felt like old times

    Was glad I had my printed ticket, probably should see if I can still get a ticket for Glasgow

    I started off with one, but after a couple of hours I had my sandwiches and it don’t go back on.

    It's fowl

    Such a pity you have to hide the mechanism away on the actual models being sold, maybe auction off Mule 1

    And that's all you have to do to quickly install the DCC chip Even the most unskilled of you will be able to fit this chip quickly and easily We've even left a hole for a speaker underneath the pantograph

    So our current neighbours are moving out today, wonder who will replace them - it's always a worry when things are all settled.

    He still has Wales and the West Coast mainline to model, if he gets really stuck he could always look at the ECML and branches of it.

    I really like that image of Scarborough and a 37 with a proper skirt on.

    Only 201 mentions, that surprises me, is this search also filtered on @Captain Kernow, though even for him that seems low.

    But only visible to the mods and yourself - that way if a post gets enough STFU then they can mute the poster

    There will be plenty of wallies at the show, you'll hear them on a few layouts - "that wouldn't be seen on this line", "It's not like how I remember it" (on any imaginary location), "too many trains" , "not enough trains", "how much for a cup of tea, you're having a laugh"

    Rage Against the Machine with Korn and the Beastie Boys featuring Betty Boo on vocals

    A good 30 minutes walk each way - it'll warm you up if nothing else

    Until you read about it and understand all is not what it seems

    And one that used A3s no less for motive power IIRC from my father

    A sensible person would print their ticket even if it came by email

    I think you were grasping for no sh*t Sherlock. The point was that after a management buy out in 1980 it went public in 86 and shareholders only like companies that expand year on year otherwise they demand new management - see Peloton.

    https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/09/technology/birds-arent-real-gen-z-misinformation.html I think they have been infiltrated by the CIA on the orders of the elite to make us believe it's not real

    Would the 10 807 perhaps see off the 91s on the ECML, I've not seen the result of the 91 replacements that went to tendering last May and wondering if it was cancelled. Then there are the 221s and their East Midlands relatives - the latter would certainly be more suited to SWR having more table seats and being more 158 in general ambience than the crushed mess that are the 220/221s unless the AWC 221s have more tables.

    You're right I did over generalise their approach.
