Why, are you considering a 2EPB

We've both got 5 items in the list but you have 'Blog Entry' and I have Status. Wonder if there is a limitation on the items in the dropdown? Question for @AY Mod perhaps

No mask - but only three people allowed in and my wife (she's the member not me) loudly objected when a fourth person entered because he lived with one of the other people in there already. I think we can assume that the rules won't be followed and it will be a free for all quite quickly.

Our local one has reopened the cut to size area but oddly the buyers seemed to be on the wrong side of the counter and handling the wood off the cutter - H&S nightmare - the trained person cannot touch the wood due to covid but the untrained person can get very close to the cutting stuff - may as well do it yourself.

Bizarrely, David Lloyd clubs yesterday reopened their steam rooms and saunas - apparently after another Government announcement the night before. However, it seems very odd you can sit almost naked with a complete stranger in a hot room with no ventilation but you cannot visit your own parents nor have them round for tea.

I think it was a mini panic this time, I have noted in my numerous trips out this week that freezer aisles were well stocked and today in Iceland there were relatively healthy stocks of toilet roll. As my wife is heading into schools next week in a lockdown area I have been out today to restock tinned and frozen goods just in case. She will be PPE'd up but none of the children (inc teens) are apparently showing any signs of distancing or smaller class sizes, masks only worn outside of the classroom.

You seem to have completed the impossible - made an O gauge layout that fits into the main reason for a large N gauge layout - railway in the scenery. This is now like one of the many Settle & Carlisle or Peak District N layouts of yore (even the 009 Stealth bomber) but done magnificently in 0.

It's nice when an old thread like this is resurrected, what a lovely little layout and that Scottish 24/1 looked excellent.

Click on the +Create dropdown next to your name in the top right corner, the dropdown includes 'Status' as one of the options.

There are backscenes available, I think Hattons have gone very modular so perhaps later there will be some fascia modules to bolt on to the front.

I don't know if you rub your hands with glee or dread each Revolution announcement - they seem to cater exactly for your period. Excellent video.

Lewis's interests beyond being sat in the car are growing - once he has the most titles and most wins (next week probably) then he may simply retire and whilst it would be great for us to see LH and MV side by side with the same engines I am not sure it will happen. As he will likely win this season and next season looks another clear opportunity then 2022 then he has nothing left to add to except more of the same. I do think the move by Honda to again leave F1 says they've probably got what they need from the sport again (is it three times now they've done this hokey cokey). Whether or not F1 can attract any new engine manufacturers without a massive tilt towards full electrics now I don't know - it's a ticking clock towards the time that the only new cars will be electric and F1 loses all relevance for pushing boundaries of engine manufacturing if it remains with a combustion engine unless someone comes up with a technique to make hydrogen combustion better than hydrogen fuel cells. So that means three engine manufacturers and Ferrari will have a new engine for 2022 so all is not lost to RB or they can make up with Renault.

Well I never do, but maybe I should as I never realised this option existed, clearly @OhOh has had a good look around.

RMWeb needs to come with a user guide, nice one, I've just applied that @OhOh

@jools1959 I agree, I thought the only issue was the lack of a plywood version (now resolved) because I don't like MDF. But Hattons have succinctly put together a package of components that let people build their own baseboards. Ok there are other companies out there that can supply and I've purchased my latest boards from one of these, but Hattons are the first retailer to put baseboards into their general products (unlike a bit of sundela that some shops used to sell). It has the look of an Ikea type product so will be attractive to someone who knows flatpacks. The fact I don't have to think about cutting up boards and striving but never quite achieving the straight edges I need takes away all the stress.

It is the parent of all trainsets - it even had the single siding in which to put your train.

@Nearholmer Also a very good example of an early modular layout and use of trestles

I am sure they would be both glad of the opportunity.

On the basis it was Edison's model that received investment and Tesla's didn't because he didn't appreciate that investors want a return then it is Edison because he was a businessman. But in true science Tesla saw the future and designed stuff that now we acknowledge had proper merit whereas businessman Edison invented obsolescence and we all see the impact of that today.

The economics of anything is out of the window at present but people still need to travel and commute so we do need trains to keep running hence nationalisation in all but name at the beginning of lockdown. With regards Boris, he too is just a vehicle I think and at the moment he has a couple of flat tyres and his motor is out of tune. I reckon they will see him out in the New Year, lets face it who is going to want to deal with a no deal Brexit in the next two months when they can take control in January and blame him for the fallout.

Even the PM cannot explain the rules, what chance does some 18-24 year old wanting to live a life have in understanding how they are expected to behave. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-54342688

But thankfully not Sprinterisation which would see off the Peaks.

There may be a bond, but for the TOC it is a known value so they know the cost of walking away - it might be expensive but less expensive than carrying on. I did over simplify but there was no need to complicate either. Franchising has just been a fancy name for outsourcing.

Took ages as well for the 3kg bags to be back, I think even Sainsburys had them before Asda.
