Your Dapol 121 should be perfectly ok with a basic Hornby controller, I've just tested a Dapol Jinty on a yard of Peco track, using a 9v PP3 battery! Worked fine... I'd suggest that a Gaugemaster Combi controller would be a better long term bet for the 121 and for Dapol 0-6-0 and similar locos. If you're intending to run anything bigger, a Gaugemaster GMC100-MO single controller or a GMC-DO double controller would be suitable. If you want to economise, the Morley Vanguard double controller mighr be a better bet. -

Well, it was better than being executed for stealing a hankie, despite the importunate pigeons with yellow feathers on their heads...

The £125 O gauge Jinty in BR livery has sold out, the private owner one is still available, as is the Southern livery Terrier. Rails has now released a variety of 14xx locos in the £145 price bracket. https://railsofsheffield.com/collections/o-gauge-bargains?system_collections=Steam%20Locomotives

Thanks for the link about the restoration work on the viaduct. I first passed under it on the S&W in the early 70s, it was very much as the "before" pictures illustrated!

Midnight? 🤔 Its barely 4pm! 🤪🤪🤪 Speaking of cakes, I should have had a Cinnamon Bun with my mid-afternoon cuppa, but I forgot. Oh well, it'll keep for tomorrow....

Keeping a landline is due to several factors. Little or no mobile coverage at the location Inertia Age If I were younger, I'd probably drop the landline, but as I'm not fully integrated with the smartphone culture (I loathe the things, even though I have one), I'll stick with my landline, even though its more or less a tethered mobile phone...

There was a sword attack incident in Hainult, London this morning, during which a 13 yo boy was killed and 4 others, including two police officers, were injured. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-england-london-68926446 The attacker was tasered to a stop. Its a pity he wasn't shot by armed officers. Now we have the waste of money for a trial and keeping the attacker locked up for an appropriate length of time.

Although a round topped 517 is too early for me, at the price quoted its still a Rule 1 no-brainer! I might even consider a 14xx in later trim...

I was going to do some work in the garden this morning, but I sat down for a mo and picked up a book. Between that and dropping into RMweb, bang went the morning!

People here would miss their phone boxes and will pay for them to be left in situ... They're largely left painted red. Sadly passers by realise that they probably won't contain a working telephone.
