      Didn't notice that RMweb was partly to blame for the near static computer input from a dodgy Router.

      I put my back out years ago and although it settled down, it still returns to haunt me.

      You have my sympathies.

       

      Me too... but I've been armed with codeine.

  18. Was looking at the Manchester trams. Is it me or does anyone else think having to have platforms to enable people to get on and off is one of the most stupid ideas for a tram ever.

      Patent that idea NOW!

      Trams don't *need* platforms at all - look at a lot of European systems where older stretches of line still just have roadside tramstops - Dresden for example, where the [low floor] trams run down the centre of the road, and traffic has to stop to allow people to alight. Not even onto a kerb, just straight on to the road. Trams carry manual ramps for wheelchair users.

      Going to Dresden in two weeks - I shall pay close attention to the trams.

  19. While waiting for a DPD parcel van to move out of my disabled parking space outside my home. We watched him spend five minutes sorting the back of his van out throwing parcels from side to side untill he found the one he wanted which he threw from the front of the van to land by the back door even though upside down you could clearly read the words This way up and Fragile

      New springs new bushes and shackle. She's got a nice tight back end now no wobbles or vibrations

  22. I was thinking the other day (always risky) and knowing Triang then Hornbys penchant for stretching or compressing body's to fit stock chassis after building the Caley single and Lord of the isles why they never made a Midland spinner single. Was there ever any plans too?

      Hmm never thought of that manna. Did they miss a golden opertunaty or I wonder if sales of the original two didn't meet expectations at the time (though i would have thought they did as they survived in the range so long)

      The prompt in the text box is "Whats on your mind?", which goes a little way to explaining why this sometimes turns into a stream of consciousness....

       

      Otherwise, I just ignore the ones that don't pique my interest!

      To be a modeller you must motorise it and give it a working jaw so it can cruise around a bowl of soup crunching the croutons
