      I'd go for,it if you regret getting rid of your old one. Unless you're printing your pictures as large posters anything over 6 megapixels is over kill. 2000x3000 is higher resolution than most computers can display.

  3. My new job involves taking OB lorries to and from studios and locations. Some very old motors - not seen a Leyland Freighter or Seddon Atkinson on the road in quite some time, much less driven them. Seddons are still as rubbish as I remember them from 20 years ago.

      I guess they do so few miles every year it's not worth replacing them.

  4. £54 standard class or £55.50 first.... Tough choice - not.

      Quite right. That £1.50 youve prudently saved can be used towards a tin of Railmatch Network Rail yellow paint.

  5. Bachmann released the NSE 08 quite quickly! I'm hoping the Capital Commuter arrives shortly.

      You'd better per order one, I think some shops have already sold out.

      I believe there are buildings where currency may be exchanged for more mince pies.

  7. has never quite worked out which was the greater crime against culture - that countless episodes of Hancock, the Goons, Dr Who, Dad's Army etc were destroyed by the BBC in the 50s 60s and 70s, or that every episode of New Top Gear was saved for posterity.

      To bo fair some of those episodes were not destroyed on purpose. They didn't know that the media they used was dodgy and the stuff was erased accidentally.

  8. Has just been diagnosed with hand, foot and mouth disease.

      I've had that, caught it off my toddler. The itching drove me mad. Try Eurax cream to stop it.

  9. Car MOT Tuesday. Nothing id worse than waiting for your car to go through its test. Even the Dentist is preferential. What expensive news will this year bring?

  13. A few weeks ago TV informed us the resavoirs were near empty. They must be full to overflowing now but the 'Help-the-rip-off-merchants' TV hasn't said anything this time. Expect water rates to increase!

      There are still severe drought warnings (from the Enviroment Agency) for most of the South East. It takes many months of rain to refill reservoirs.

  14. Seated passengers for oo/ho are so expensive

    1. nightstar.train

      Try eBay. You can often get a hundred for a couple of quid from china. Pretty lurid colours and not the best painting, but doesn't really notice inside a carriage.

  15. Is it me or do most layouts have the fiddle yard on the left?

    1. nightstar.train

      nightstar.train

      It is probably a sub concious choice of the builder as we read left to right (in the West), so we want to run trains left to right (my fiddle yard is on the right BTW).
