Level crossing stupidity...
Hobby replied to Katier's topic in UK Prototype Discussions (not questions!)
Blakedown, released recently by NR: https://www.itv.com/news/central/2024-02-15/dog-walker-pushes-through-barriers-at-level-crossing-as-train-slams-on-brakes -
Looks like that one they did in Top Gear, but that was a Panda.

It's a fifth generation Corolla, launched in 1983 so could fit in either thread as my cut-off was the mid 80s! I've just ordered a new Corolla which is the twelfth generation!

This one? https://www.thehornbydublocollection.com/

Some dedicated people have set up websites where you can find out info like that but they tend to cover just one manufacturer. The excellent Triang and Egger-Bahn ones spring to mind.

I'd have thought that more likely to be territory scent marking?
-
From what I've seen in the last few pages I suspect it's going to be more overseas buyers that will miss them more than UK buyers, whilst they will be missed by us in the UK there's already plenty of alternatives, it seems that's not the case for UK modellers overseas. Maybe someone will fill the gap, maybe not.

You didn't, what you did do, though, was read something into the post that wasn't there. I was simply "smiling" at his comment about it being "downhill" from here, nothing more, and certainly not wishing for other shops to follow suit. In fact as I commented there are other shops available which are as good, it's not the end of the world, an era, perhaps, but not the world.

🤣 I think you'll find there's life after Hattons, many of us hardly ever used them... And survived!
-
Could be. I used to live on Hillhead Street and walk into the centre across the motorway, also drove in and out using the strange junctions around there. That's why I thought West End when I first saw it. Perhaps someone will come along shortly and put us out of our misery!

The running gear is the same, engines, gearboxes, etc. During my ownership of several Fabias it was noticeable that any spares were labeled VW!
-
? Or does it just mean that their assets exceeded their debts...
-
My initial thought was somewhere in the centre of Glasgow, at the end of Great Western Road or around that area but I can't get it to fit the photo!
-
Can afford the car but then not afford decent accommodation, I think I'd be doing it the other way round!
-
To save me going through over 1000 posts, is there a reason the shop side of things isn't being sold on as a going concern?

Some similarities to that incident at Chesterfield a few years ago, dropped phone onto track and went to retrieve it... I was chatting to the EMR staff the next day and they were still shaken by it... https://www.thestar.co.uk/news/people/person-dies-after-being-hit-by-a-train-at-chesterfield-station-3297368 -
An EV Mustang? What on earth would I do with one of them?!! 🤣 Now one of the ones you have... ;)
-
The name sells.
-
And only sold in a local shop... ;)

Neither is soya meant to be made into milk, but people do... At least we humans have been drinking the cow stuff for thousands of years and it tastes nice! ;)

On that basis if a kitten is given milk then it, too, won't be lactose intolerant? I have to admit that we've had several cats that loved milk and suffered no ill effects, present one included. I always find it strange that this instruction not to give cats milk has suddenly appeared whereas many old films show cats being given milk. I wonder if it's somehow linked with the seeming increase in more humans having food allergies, perhaps modern diets and additives have more to answer for than we realise.

At least it wasn't a catastrophe! -
Even with traction tyres you'll still get some pick-up from the tt'd wheels as the flange will still come into contact with the rail from time to time?

I heard he's said he's exhausted, not surprising really, he arrived just as Pep arrived at City and they have "history". It'll be interesting if he takes a break or goes straight back into the fray in another country. Anyone else watch that programme on the Beeb about Pep, most of it concentrating in his time with Barca and Bahern, but explained why he does what he does.
