The base actually looks reasonably substantial, if that can take most of the weight without flexing too much it might be ok.

Perhaps mummy took their laptop/tablet/phone away because they were being naughty and throwing tantrums.

When the real thing looks like a model
rab replied to Peter Kazmierczak's topic in UK Prototype Discussions (not questions!)
Only looks anything like realistic on a kettle. I suppose you could claim the diseasel was being started from cold. -

Ebay madness of a different sort: I recently listed two Farish Prarie tanks, one, working, at £40, the other, a non-runner, for £10. The working one didn't sell, the non-runner sold, for £32; only £8 less than the working one???

Level crossing stupidity...
rab replied to Katier's topic in UK Prototype Discussions (not questions!)
Not sure if this comes under the heading of Stupidity, Chaos or??: https://fb.watch/lEfKJUwTZ2/ Interesting that, in spite of the long queues no one tried to weave past the barriers. -
Looking for possible sources for a loco to tender link for this early Poole Farish Hall Class No 1405. It looks like it originally had a plastic link which pushed into a hole in the tender and somehow connected to the metal link on the loco, but the plastic has snapped off. Was going to try to cobble something together, but before I waste my time, wondered if there is something off the shelf somewhere. Thanks in advance.

You (might) Have to Speak English

I remember my dad telling me how he bought a (hand) drill, (the ones with the gear wheel on the side that you caught you hand in if you weren't careful). in Woolworths (remember them) At that time Woolworths were known as the 3d & 6d store, everything was threepence or sixpence. (similar to today's pound shops). Because the drill cost a shilling, it was sold in two parts. He bought one part on one visit, then when he'd saved up, went back and bought the other part

The Tramways of Dartmoor
rab replied to rogerfarnworth's topic in UK Prototype Discussions (not questions!)
I remember getting caught with the unpredictable Dartmoor fog while walking part of that route. Visibility at the start was fine, After I'd done a couple of miles the mist began to form, and before long 'you could hardly see your hand in front of your face'. Fortunately I was following the well defined bed of the tramway, so was able to find my way back to the starting point, but it was a bit eerie, to say the least. -

Iwas going to use the term emmet, but wasn't sure how many of the wider audience would know the term.
