Yeth. And I'm only thixteen. ( sorry, just had to finish the gag).

Bridlington? Only a bit down the coast but still firmly rooted in NER territory.

Yes. Strangely it's page 76 on my iPad - but then I have a totally blank page 10 ( 'though nothing seems to be actually missing)!

Thanks, Andy. Seems to be working now. Downer, delete (bin) the incomplete issue from your library. It will then reappear as an issue awaiting download. Proceed as normal and it should appear in full.

As reported - doesn't download on iPad or iPhone - but the "add on freebie mag" downloads in full.

There appears to be a 15 mph silhouette restriction sign just before the signal. Wouldn't that exclude the GN main?

including the general Knowledge (in which I normally only get about 2 corrtect answers). Sorry Ducky, but.......... Clearly no spelling questions in that show then?

Oi , New 'aven! You leave C12's alone. Us GN types like 'em. (and we know where the ferries to IOM leave from).

I thought that was an undertaker, but I may be wrong.

Aye-aye.

They didn't speak (or spell) the English way down in Devon. Come to think of it, they still don't. It's part of the charm.

It should not be necessary to enlarge the image to find out which A4 it is. It was on my iPad.

I'm slightly worried about the "floating" ladder on that bracket. Brave lampman that goes up there!

Wow! Only 128 pages of thread and a train moves. Well done O mighty duck!

Dunno where it is but they'd better not run trains on that middle road. The Pandrols and rail are out of their housings.

No (but the wider sleeper spacing might be a giveaway). No. Yes.

I received mine from Liverpool this a.m. Found several small components had detached in transit but all were still within the packaging. Not a problem to replace them but as Ardvark warns some are indeed very tiny. Take care when opening lest you lose any. The worst was a handrail knob from the smokebox door! In fact this may be the only problem with this model - how far into miniature (in plastic casting) can you go before the component becomes too fragile for handling!? None of the mechanical problems someone reported earlier though and a delightful model all in all. Nice touch to see a certain couple of gentlemen credited for their assistance with development on the Instruction sheet.

Me too. What does Mr. Ham do?

Mon Dieu, Monsieur Hallade's technique applied to the Duck's railway. Formidable!

Heck, Catherine Zeta's changed a bit since she married that Douglas fella!

Actually the first give away is the suggestion that "Anglo Saxons" built a warning tower in the 8th century to protect against Vikings. By this point of our island's history, the Vikings already ruled East Anglia and most of the rest of what later became England. Unfortunately journalists (as Bigwordsmith seems to acknowledge) rarely actually check such detail. It spoils the story.

Sorry Bigwordsmith, but I think you might have found a different historical tower to the one modelled and created another mystery. The OS map for Peterborough in 1884 shows no structure of any kind at this location in the yard (though the othe two "new" structures are there). The building appears on the 1900 OS map however. It's also clear from the real building that the bell tower is built in the same brick as the rest of the structure and it's certainly not 8th century brick! The article refers to a set of tenor bells, note the plural, but there's clearly only space for a single small bell in the structure which Gilbert's model represents and you'd hardly describe it as the"glory that we see today" described in the article. Which leads to another question. Where the 'ell is bigwordsmith's tower that he's found - also clearly near the GN station? Oh, and another thing, when did Gilbert GN change into Jane Asher?

So,as I understand it from the Youtube video, it's a way to photograph bugs?No, just kidding, I see the point. Effectively then, Andy Y uses modern technology to get fully in focus photo's and Tony uses older technology and skills (exposure time/aperture setting) to achieve the same thing, which are good for magazine articles? Hmmmmmm? What's the difference then? Is there a couple of minutes time saving in one over the other? (God forbid we'd risk a coupl'a minutes in our frantic lives!) In reality, the human eye focuses on a single point, not on the total view and so did "real" cameras. That's why pictures of Railway subjects (usually the loco') leave us arguing about the train behind. For magazines......well, I don't care which you use (most get photoshopped anyway to add smoke and steam). For reality, I think Gilbert's (Peterborough North) look better ................and he admits he's c**p at Photoshopping (even though he uses it to wipe the background). (Other picture processing programmes are available.................I have no connection with any of them..............it's just I've only heard about that one).
