Didn't seem to harm them either, our's lived to 17 on such a diet! Snowy licks plates clean if given the chance so has milk and cream from time to time. I'm sure i read somewhere that one difference between a domestic cat and wild one is that a domestic cat's digestive system has adapted to suit the diet it gets, i.e. fewer, if any, fresh raw meet with bones in it!

That sounds about right, late at night when we try to get into New Street after a long trip north or south, we've always felt that the baddies are in the 'box! ;)

Flat beer can be caused by many things, though, and some of them are out of the control of the brewer, such as how they are stored, even the best publican can make mistakes.

I'd have thought the opposite, it's a small self contained railway where everything can be concentrated in one place (even the production if they use local hydro power). Automotive use would be far larger if it was done on a national scale, surely?

Not all, the narrow gauge Zillertalbahn in Austria are converting to hydrogen after ruling out electric for several reasons. Re the above I assume they'll be using hydro electric power to make it?

Thought that might be the case. So how does the swap work in China?

Perhaps, I'd put their bottled stuff on a par with any of the ones you mentioned, and better than many as they are bottle conditioned! Mind you I have some dire Saltaire beers in pubs before now.

Are they of a standard design or is every car got a different shape/size?

If they do then they deserve to fail. The team needs pruning of the deadwood before they even think of getting rid of the manager.

Perhaps you need to tell Bertie! ;) I don't get this, surely the owners of the charging point could put a limit on the time and if the car owner does that charge them a fortune for doing it. It's just the same as overstaying in a car park, you get penalised for doing so. Or is that beyond their capabilities?

Lucky you! I came back from a holiday up there with a case of their bottle conditioned beers, very nice!

That sort of comment, as I've said before, completely puts me off an EV, there is no way, in this heat, that I'd consider doing that, Climate Control is on and running and doesn't go off until I leave the car. I'm not going back to my early motoring days of sticky and uncomfortable motoring thanks. We've come a long way since those days i see no reason to turn the clock back. I'm with you on the increased range but 400 would do me if it was realistic and not the manufacturers/Gov test figures.

Just round the corner from the Khyber Pass! ;)

Ours has always liked the cheapest Sainsburys brand, sachets with jelly, not gravy! When I am cooking meat, doesn't matter which, I leave some raw meat with the juices in the plastic container and she spends the next ten minutes pushing it round the kitchen to make sure she's had every drop!

I remember last season when several United fans came on here when Ronaldo signed as if it was the new dawn. Several of us warned about relying on one player and now the chickens are roosting. Time for him to go and you can use his wages to pay some decent players who want to play for the team not themselves.

14.2mm? 🤣

We've had this discussion already several times, it was brought up initially by finescale modellers on why TT 1:120 couldn't do British models. Look at it from a different angle, RTR models are full of compromises, they are not 100% scale models like those produced by finescale modellers. For 99% of us what they make is fine, they look the part, are reasonably robust and reliable. As such I am sure that they will find ways to make models with splashers, they will probably have to compromise somewhere, I'm not an expert on the manufacturing to RTR models so couldn't say where, but I'm sure the finished results will be acceptable to most of us. We'll just have to wait and see, eh! However in that list you've listed the steam locos I want so I'm quite happy!

Let's hope so, it should liven up the second half of the season. https://www.gpblog.com/en/amp/124213/mercedes-has-done-it-we-ve-finally-got-rid-of-it.html

Yes that's all they do, I had to do it with the Golf when the PIP review overran due to Covid, I just booked it in and took it along and they sorted it with Motability on the day. No hassles at all and a pleasant walk down the canal whilst they did it!

Thinking about this logically it's pretty obvious what to do when working from drawings. If the drawing is in feet and inches it'll be easier to convert using Hal Joyce's original scale of 1/10 inch to the foot rather than faffing round trying to use mm. Time to forget the peculiarly British obsession of mm to the foot!! Obviously if your drawing is metric then just divide by 120. Simples.

You can change the title easily Keith, just open the first post and go onto edit and it allows you as the thread author to change it!

Peco have already said it's 2.54mm in their launch, its just our great leader who put 2.5mm in the section header and welcome thread title just to confuse everyone and won't change it! ;)

Ah! Having raced using them and rebuilt two of them (having never, ever, even taken the top off any engine before or since!) I suppose I've a bit of a soft spot for them!

Why?

Am I right in thinking that the track is Tillig TT? I'm judging by the depth of the rail which is the only give-away, code 83? If so I think Peco's decision to use the code "55" rail is a very good move. It would be interesting to see them alongside each other.
