  1. What's the point of the Mitch Martinez video? It doesn't appear to be advertising anything of relevance. And it has no audio.

     

    It's weird. I just don't see the point of it. It's just like the moving wallpaper in the doctor's surgery, enough to distract, but not enough to entertain.

     

    Edit: now the audio's working. Sometimes.

      On further investigation, I'm beginning to wonder whether this video is the cause of some 'unexpected behaviours' that I'm experiencing. Specifically, posting replies seems to result in a 'hang' whereby the post goes through, but the screen doesn't refresh. Seen on both iOS (which doesn't show the video, although it's presumably still downloaded) and MacOS (which does).

      @AY Mod, is this a known issue? The screen hanging on post, I mean.

      I've not seen that specifically but it's reasonable to assume it's a symptom of the ad-loading. 

  2. If you’d asked me yesterday what my favourite Christmas film was, I’d have said it was either Alistair Sim’s Scrooge (1951) or It’s a Wonderful Life. 
     

    Last night, I watched Klaus with my eldest daughter. 
     

    Now, it’s a three way tie.

      This is my favourite Christmas movie, and it's not even out yet

      Die hard, best ever Christmas film.

      Die Hard is a great film set at Christmas.

  3. There’s a lag time between filming and broadcast. Perhaps the intervening period was busy for them?
  4. A significant advantage over the 1:1 version is that you can cut your passengers’ legs off to make them fit. This tended to be frowned upon, even by BR management.
  5. @Oliver Rails thank you for not being one of the retailers who felt the need to add to my email inbox in ‘celebration’ of this US holiday tradition.
  6. My eldest daughter bought one of those star projectors. Looking up at the ceiling she remarked “it’s just like going to see the northern lights, only cheaper!”

     

    And warmer. 

  7. Second mail link worked for me too! Actually, I think this is pretty damned fine customer support from KRM. I'm aware that you can (could?) get replacement parts from the big two, if you knew to ask, but this proactive outreach is something new. At least to me! Admittedly, the big two sell mainly through third-party retail, and KRM direct. Nevertheless, well impressed!
  8. Q: what's the difference between .jpg and .JPG?

    A: none

      And jpeg and JPEG are exactly the same format too.

  9. I’m holding out for the Class 70 (electric).
  10. Do they also eulogise about tax being added to airport food at the till? When has anyone heard of a freakin’ airport changing states? I think they just like to p!ss people off TBH.
  11. I was originally sceptical (mainly due to engineering numptiness). I got over it and bought one. I am happy. Well done, and well deserved @KR Models!
  12. Yeah, I think that at least is down to camera angle.
  13. Not that odd. It’s not in the RoS or Heljan forums, so is likely to get less visibility.
  14. I tend to go for the earliest versions of these ‘not my era’ oddities. But E1000 looks more interesting.
  15. Christmas is coming to the UK!

  16. Alternatively, an ‘accommodation’ could be arranged… If you catch my drift.
  17. Don't ask me why, but I get an impression that they're satisfied with the design.
  18. Not if the reviewer is open about the fact that it’s a return. It depends on whether the purpose is to give a prospective buyer a balanced view on a model or just churn through them. What @dibber25 said, really
  19. Plus plus plus…advertising & other sponsorship deals.
  20. It looks as if they might’ve addressed the under-boiler seam. If so, props. But better photos would confirm if that’s the case.
  21. A blessed relief for me. I've always worried that the CFO would see how much I'd spent in the past!
