Careful, this is politics.

There may be a legal argument about whether trains and planes can move across borders should be exit without an agreement but this could descend into chaos on this forum.

Just scroll to the bottom of page and hit Full Version everything there as it should be.

But on a phone almost unusable, hence the need for the mobile version which is good for reading and quick replies - but you can't like stuff or upload images.

Ah the mobile site, no likeee

Probably why i've found Belen so interesting, its different, although the SD40 makes me think there is a 66 hiding somewhere

edit: you might like this UP recording, there is hump shunting in the background as well.

Edit 2:

This is probably right up your street, from 1992 so old school America.

Short break?

Waited 8 hours for this to depart from the fueling point

Spoke too soon, it's stopped and half the train is split - looks like a failure of some sort and perhaps they are going to have to remove a wagon.

Being shunted back in, the other half of the train went the other way, presume to be also shunted into the yard

Bit of mid train helping

Nice shot of a Ferromex in a consist today

Have you ever tried a vitamin D lamp or SAD lamp?

 

Not used one myself, but I know loads of Scandinavians who swear by them.

Not tried one no, but the capsules work fine for me.

It will be the Fell, but with Co-Co wheel arrangement, a stretched body and an English Electric 12CVST prime mover - that version had more livery variations and subtle nose differences.

This looks spot on.

That path outside also looks like a lovely base for removable return loop 

Put a photo on social media and everyone thinks it's theirs to do as they wish.

Maybe I need a subscription

How interesting that you mention late April to July being your 'best period'

That is exactly how I used to be when I was young - I was transformed in those periods so much people would comment on the difference.

Only a few years back did I get given Vitamin D supplements to help me, certainly it helps concentration, my team would remind me to have my capsule when team meetings drifted into 'Ooh look at that out of the window'

i used to get a visit from a horrific wolf in nightmares, it would howl in the darkness before approaching, it was and remains the single most terrifying dream I can have.

Luckily it's only happened a few times and I think it has been a few years now since his last visit.

Our minds can be so cruel to us.

Hi

 

However, depending on browser choice you can either see or not see the prices and add to basket button, this may die a death without having an opportunity to succeed.

 

Safari and IE11 appear to work. Chrome does not. I’ve emailed Dapol regarding this but not had a response so far.

 

Cheers

My Chrome is working on my work pc, I can see the price.

Mark the Baseboard Chippy came around last night to do a couple of small bits. We have moved the outer stop on the Sector Plate so the the centre road will now swing out to the storage siding, so enabling an arriving Train to come in on the correct loop, onto the Sector Plate, and then revers into the Scenic Sidings.

 

We also played around with the Track to ensure it would all fit nicely at Dore End, and it does, although the Oil Depot will need to extend more towards the River I feel.

 

More later.

You've been quiet all day - are we expecting to see track in situ?

Given that first example I hope that Sonic Models and Revolution have a shopping list of other wagons to follow.

Echoing other comments, they look like 4mm models with the wrong coupling on - like the Bachmann Models which they used to photoshop an Elsie coupling onto for the catalogue.

Did a Velentia (and associated electrical bits) get preserved when they were ripped out?

 

Would be nice if when the HSTs finally get retired someone could restore one to original condition

That is the aim of the 125 Group - they have components for one just not a body yet but that could change soon with the IEPs - of course just because another train to revolutionise the railways has arrived it doesnt mean all the HSTs aren't still wanted.

I believe the preserved prototype power car has one.

They advertise it's screaming credentials on the 125 group page.

It might just be your recollections of certain memories fired other memories leading to a coherent paragraph - in writing mode you had tapped into your memory in a way that was effective at extracting the information but casually reading it back does not.

Generally at the moment I am on an up, though I did unexpectedly wake this morning feeling particularly depressed.  A bad dream had hit a number of triggers and I was quite upset when I first came round, had to let the dream fade and remind myself that it didn't matter.

Last weekend I decided I would begin to tackle decorating the house, have been putting it off for 6 years since we moved in.  I explained to the wife that the will is now there just the confidence is lacking so I am going to tackle it piecemeal with the stair banisters first - biggest challenge over three floors with lots of tight spaces.  There is no point setting a big target so I will get it sanded and only once I've got past that will I think how I will tackle the painting of it though I believe I will start with the tightest corners and work out from there.  Once the stairs are done then I can motor away at the other bits though the top floor walls are quite high to the ceiling with specialist ladders called for.  Some ladders will still be cheaper than getting a decorator in though.

The fact I have even suggested decorating to me is a massive step, I have used all sorts of excuses so far to avoid it so I must be up in confidence.

On the railway side, the rebuilt main baseboard is covered in track, the wiring is all working so next step is to put the Kadee magnets on and building platforms - something for the weekend along with sanding. 

Measuring up, you'd think they would know it by now, they do this all the time

And rest, and bounce

They seem to change that all the time, you'd think there would be a solution that would last longer.

Mind, it's quite interesting watching the trains bounce over the crossings.

The BNSF orange SD40 is in play too

And both together:

Rather surprisingly the new Farish castle will negotiate even the inner circle on the setrack curved point flat out without any worries. I would trade this for the ability to pull eight coaches up a 1 in 50.

 

And are you saying this king won't be as fast as the Dapol 45xx?

Shame.

That's the lowest speed setting isn't it, fraction of a turn on a Gaugemaster.

The only issue I had with those was the tendency to not like 2nd radius set track curves that I intentionally laid to give a good even bend on my layout when the rest was Code 55, mind you my b/g Mk1 sleepers were similarly problematic on 2nd radius curves.

Seems it is

I did wonder if there was expansion in mind and when the new boards were shown I did look at the far end for signs of a joint, assume you're going to put banks to the river in the gap?

Is the Lima 33 under scale?
