Is not part of the problem that the link between "parents" and "responsible" seems to be getting weaker as time goes on

Opens ok for me, on a Chromebook

Sounds like a good idea, smaller the cup, higher the pirce: N gauge tea: £1.50 OO Gauge tea: 75p I think I'll settle for an O gauge cuppa!

Thanks for the advice. I've purchased a Gaugemaster hand held controller.

Your statement about requiring 4 amps is correct. The power supply is not sufficient, and either as @Edwin_m has said the supply will cut out, or it will "go pop"

Going through my late son's stuff I've come across a lot of the instalments of this publication, (not sure if it's a complete set) together with the parts from each issue, most of which are still in sealed packs. Is it worth putting on eBay, (it seems a pity to bin a lot of new stuff); if so what is the best way to list it, each item as an individual lot, all as one lot, or 4 or 5 in a lot.

I'm putting together a 'Starter Set' from my late son's collection, for a 7 year old who is showing an interest in model railways. Unfortunately I don't have a power/speed control unit for it, (I let someone else have the Clipper my son had as I thought it was a bit too complicated for a beginner) so I'm looking for suggestions on the best one to get; something basic but reliable, Hornby, Bachmann??

Heard of a similar thing happen. Tooling/parts production done in China. Soon after fake completed items started appearing on the market. This went a stage further though, the Chinese poached the marketing director & chief engineer, who had the cheek to phone up a colleague asking for assembly info he'd forgotten to copy before he left the company

A big Amer?

I'm looking for some help/advice from the collective RMWeb wisdom. I'm listing some stuff on Ebay for the family of a deceased friend. One of the items is a Black & Decker 18V drill. It works ok but I've noticed when the On switch is released there appears to be momentary flashing between the commutator and the brushes, accompanied by a slight electrical burning smell. The item appears to be almost new, so it may well be something like the brushes bedding in. I want to be honest when listing the item, but I don't want to add detail which might deter potential buyers unnecessarily. Any thoughts/suggestions would be appreciated

If you're quick there's one in Plymouth at the moment, but I think you'd need a big drone to deliver it. :)

Not railway related but this one made me smile: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Electrical-Press-Button-Switch-Metal/dp/B004H8ETJ4/ref=asc_df_B004H8ETJ4/? I'd love to see what happened if you put 240 amps through it; and apparently it can be wifi connected too

Knowing how to use one; some don't know what a screwdriver is (except perhaps a mixture of vodka and orange)!!

Good ro see the first response is a positive one :)

We once bought a bungalow which had a small "Christmas type" tree in the garden. The first christmas we were there we dug it up, put it in a tub and took it in doors. When we looked at it next day it was covered in white insects. It was back in the garden before Christmas day!

I'll just leave this here: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/395199450860?

I've put my handbag away. :) I for one don't want to be the reason for a thread being locked.

Your previous post You referred to businesses failing, (which I have highlighted). Klien have not "Failed", they have merely closed down. That is the point I was trying to make

I think perhaps you need to clarify your understanding of the difference between a business failing and closing down. Your comment suggests the business had run out of money, which is not the case; they simply made the decision to close down, with sufficient money in the bank to honour all financial commitments, and hopefully something left over.

I wonder if Corporal Jones is still panicking? Do you think Frazer has stopped saying "we're doomed" now?

Software updates, don't you just love 'em. :)

Serves me right for trying to help someone!!! An item I was selling was due to finish about 7:30 this evening. It had been sat at about £6 for a few days but this afternoon I had three bids taking it to £11.50. Around 5 o'clock had a message from the last bidder asking if I would cancel his last bid, item no longer required!! I was out at the time, tried to cancel the bid on my phone but wasn't able to. Got home about 10 min before bidding ended. By the time I'd managed to cancel the bid, there was about two minutes left. The item eventually sold for £6. What I didn't realise was the bidder had put in two bids, Not sure if I did something wrong but both their bids were cancelled, taking the selling price back to what it was before their first bid. £5:50 lost through trying to help someone :)

Brains in his backside???

And so another post which started off as interesting and informative descends into mud slinging. :(
