You won’t find much flying in there .

the runway is only about 1400m which precludes routine ops of all the heavy or pointy stuff .

 

theyve got a load of jaguars there they run for technical training . I wonder if these were flown in somehow ? Like slam it down and brake like stink / drag chute etc 

Been to the Cosford ATC tower a few times for work related purposes. Always guaranteed a good mug of tea there. I always thought this Jaguar looked partiucularly splendid.

Lewis Hamilton demonstrating a completely different skill set.

SIgn up for it with a new contract. When it doesnt arrive, you can collect your £5 a week compo for failing to deliver.

Much better than the multicoloured monstrosity

Typical critism of the Beeb

They will have got the info (probably) from CBS, I wouldn't expect the Beeb to know any different.

Isnt it the responsibility of a journalist, or national news company to check what they print is factually correct?

If CBS told them King Charles was gay, would they print that too? Or would they try and ascertain the validity of that statement?

The crane has arrived:

Typical poor journalism from the BBC. The photo doesnt show the "big crane" thats being sent. They even mention is name Chesapeake 1000, surely its not difficult to look and see what it looks like.

Presumably there is now a queue of ships waiting to use or leave the harbour. At least the ones outside have the possibility to find an alternative.

I am sure the ones stuck inside will be claiming a substantial daily rate from the insurers until they are able to leave.

Some good footage of the aftermath from the NTSB.

I expect various figures within the insurance industry will be stocking up on industrial grade vaseline in preparation for the financial rogering they are about to receive.

Do you have a Screwfix nearby?

I suspect the problem is the existence of 1/72 scale models.  And that ships, even small ones, in 1/76ths, are BIG.  And that ships that go quietly about their business and eschew showy raked bows, sexy guns, torpedo tubes, and grey paint, that carry things rather than trying to sink them, are less glamorous and don't sell kits as well as the warships or ocean liners, or are not that White Star 4-stacker, are harder to come by. 

Artitec have a very good resin model of a Dutch coaster. Neither cheap, or small but would look stunning alongside a wharf. Admittedly, its HO scale, but I dont think anyone would notice.

An excellent build thread from another forum.

A 6 wheel version of the upcoming GWR Toad.

Chunky little thing. 🙂

I do hope your layout features a degree of street running and heavily overgrown track.

Great to see this topic finally appear. It seems much USA O gauge is either 3 rail, or heavily aimed at the toy market. What USA manufacturers offer fine scale products?

Cheers Paul. 🙂

Point levers we’re waiting when I got home too so another little detail to add. 

Can I ask what size trees you used?

Excellent. Looking forward to ther new thread. 😊

I have to say that box boats, unloaded or part-loaded to dispose of the floating brick silhouette, are generally very sleek and attractive vessels.

The Maersk E series ships especially so.

Superb. 😊
