It may be some time before its commercial viability is proven!

Watch out, an Iberian Plume is about* SCORCHIO!!! ION A song about Primrose Hill has been written... You have been warned! * Though it may be a Daily Express weather fantasy.

There was a programme on BBC2 yesterday evening about the reconstruction of Notre Dame, I do hope there is no connection!

Interesting! I didn't realise that the kilns still existed up to at least 2018. You could see them from the railway when the brickworks were in operation, but in more recent times there was a concrete pipe works next to the railway fence, and I thought the kilns had been swept away. There you go!

Were there any of these signs about? Must admit, I wouldn't expect an SUV driver to notice the signage...

I sometimes do this when looking for fabcon and non-bio wash liquid, which is in the cupboard next to the fridge. However it usually takes far less time to register that I've chosen the wrong door....

Rovex Coupling Triang Couplings The first Triang couplings were the Mk2(a) which had a plain drop arm, the later Triang coupling, the Mk2b had the "skid" on the drop arm, apparently to add weight and give more positivity to the hook. The familiar tension lock Mk3 was introduced in 1957 with, I believe, the TT system and then transferred to OO. The loco tender has a hook coupling, while the coaches have Mk2b couplings. It looks like someone has found a box with a loco and tender and has added a couple of later coaches to make the lot a bit more attractive! The lack of track is probably because the original "Universal" track is incompatible with the later "Standard" track and including Standard track would certainly stick out like a sore thumb!

Its not something that has ever crossed my mind, though YOU seem awfully familiar with the concept.... I'll just stick to restraining it, though if it seems to enjoy bondage, I'll have to think of something different!

Fake news, fake food.... Where will it all end? 🤪

Very much so.....

Then there's Saffron too.

It'll eventually re-index. Your post has probably forced it to do so!

@Tony Wright Arty types refer to lenses as having "Excellent bokeh", though that means that the images are fuzzy around the edges. Sometimes it seems that superlative sharpness is a fault...

Hmmmmm... I wondered why my toes were bruised!

I suppose there are problems if the batteries go flat, though there's no point in using Duracell, other Alkaline cells are just as long lasting and cheeper....

The odd thing is that they appear to have a USB powered double decker....

People try to get away with anything. I've heard of people wanting to take their miniature ponies and pigs on board as emotional support animals. I've just thought, how about an emotional support polecat??? No need to - it came to me in a blinding flash of light....

Not the very first, the Princess has plunger pickups not the very first roller pickups, so not as desirable. Nice Banana coaches and possibly original stock boxes, but no battery box or track, so incomplete. I didn't get as far as the AI description! A complete set: http://www.tri-ang.co.uk/origset.html I've a complete R0 set ( http://www.tri-ang.co.uk/RO Set.html ) which is nice, though the flanges on the loco mean that it hurdles through modern points. The last time I had it open the coaches hadn't Banana-ed...

Even now, the Hereford Model Centre has a couple of Dapol N gauge Pannier+B Set train packs for 90 quid. Peco Settrack starter kit for 72 quid. https://herefordmodels.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=832_834_848_976 https://herefordmodels.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=832_834_849_1219_461&products_id=11330 A new Gaugemaster Combi would be under 60 quid Say 220 quid in total, brand new and the loco/coaches would be plausible. Its just the problem with relying on ebay for everything! .

The main problem with that is the previous occupants of my house saw fit to pave over the entire front and back (slabs/gravel) with a narrow border at the back that contains a couple of bushes (problems themselves!) and a treelike thing. I've pots and troughs containing coloured living stuff to enliven the area that require minimal effort. As I don't intend to revert anything (I loathe wasting time in "gardening"), the Dalek is redundant, and those I know who do garden already have their own and don't need another. I may force it back into the corner behind the shed (it was moved to make more room to erect the shed last year) and thus pen it in, in perpetuity...
