The 'independant' typo has been noted and awaiting revision.

Salmon season is here! Footplate of Kidderminster are pleased to show off their latest Flangeway wagon, the Salmon. After many years of development and research, the Engineering Prototype of the Salmon has landed. First impressions are extremely favourable, however as this is the first EP, the model is now being reviewed to ensure that any inaccuracies are corrected and that the first release can accurately depict 1980’s air braked vehicles, as well as ensuring that other variations can be accurately portrayed without any major alterations, including versions with the rail cranes and more modern ASF bogies. The first releases will depict 1980’s variants in engineers yellow and grey - release dates and prices will follow in due course. In addition to the Salmon arriving, the latest release of the Snowplough is expected soon. Currently, the second batch of livery samples are being reviewed and should be signed off soon, paving the way for production. It is hoped the Snowplough’s will arrive in time for winter snow duties… Although the Salmon has yet to be released for pre-order, Footplate are still taking pre-orders for the Snowplough via the website; www.footplate.co.uk. Updates on the Salmon will follow once final prices have been confirmed and will then be available for pre-order from the Footplate website.

Flangeway have provided latest images of the new snowploughs... IS14 DB965206 - Plain Black IS15 ADB965228 - Buxton TMD IS16 ADB965226 - Buxton TMD IS17 ADB965240 - Old Oak Common IS18 ADB965205 - Inverness IS19 ADB965230 - Network Rail

He doesn't have to bow to anything not covered by legislation. That attitude will make it less likely that someone will try to be more accommodating. Leave it alone now please.

Methinks you're not the ideal candidate Robin.

Before castigating anyone do bear in mind layout builders are not paid entertainers and they don't have to show their work off. Do cinema screenings have subtitles for those with hearing difficulties? Do retailers have POS material with braille translations? Rarely I would say so - a measure of reasonabless should be applied to this issue within our hobby from all sides.

I'm pleased the post clarified that; I thought they'd have to take a good run-up to get up there.

If Dave Jones had given the liquidators an accurate list of creditors you would have been contacted. He doesn't seem to have done so.

In Mobile view the size and form of the ads is intrusive and obstructive; it's a subject of discussion internally! It is all part of the platform testing so I hope common sense can prevail.

Indeed, the topic is counter-productive. The issue should be progressed with retailer rather than abstractly here. Closed.

I haven't observed any issues at this end but we did have an overload on Saturday morning which affected access for 40 minutes.

I'll mention to Steve tomorrow that this is ring-fenced crowd-funding.

Fixed; apologies! No photos in your Chelsea outfit?

I can assure you it wasn't any masterplan; that would involve planning.

chuffinghell was actually doing it as a gesture of solidarity at that point over the weekend but I have taken steps this morning to eliminate the presence of the additional Google Ads for Gold members. They still see the trade ads; no-one's ever grumbled about those.

Yes, because someone thought he was being clever (as he often does) drawing attention to it.

The IT dept have been migrating to a new ad-serving platform and there are some things which need sorting out still. Steve and I are discussing.

Odd. It's playing for me (Android tablet) and I get the same link (but it won't play from copy/pasting the link).

Locomotion Models are delighted to announce that they have commissioned a OO Scale Class 33/1 locomotive No. D6535 ‘Hertfordshire Rail Tours’ from Heljan. This is the first exclusive edition model produced for Locomotion Models by the Danish manufacturer. Built by the Birmingham Railway Carriage & Wagon Company it was delivered on the 10th December 1960, it entered service on British Railways Southern Region as D6535. It was renumbered 33116 on 31st December 1973 and was named ‘Hertfordshire Rail Tours’ on 11th December 1993 at Weymouth station by John Farrow and Ian Kapur of Hertfordshire Rail Tours. The name was carried until April 1998. It was withdrawn from traffic in August 1998 and stored out of use at Old Oak Common until June 2003 when it was acquired for the National Collection. The National Railway Museum loaned it to the Great Central Railway in April 2005 where it has been located ever since and is available for traffic. The Heljan model utilises existing tooling and will be produced DCC READY which requires the fitting of an 8PIN decoder into the socket provided. The model carries the Eastleigh depot ‘Spitfire’ plaque, has working directional lighting, NEM coupling pockets, etched nameplates and sprung buffers. The model will cost £149 and is due for release in December 2019. The model will be available across the counters at both Locomotion (Shildon) and The Railway Museum (York) as well as through the Locomotion Models website at www.locomotionmodels.com The model can be pre-ordered for a deposit of £30.

Not of any substance and as we've reached cyclical stage it's time to close it.

I drove through one at 88mph and ended up in a Wimpy.

Officer Crabtree is alive and well. We spent an interesting day last week which including looking at what goes into the decoration of the Western Pullman which explains some of the costs. I'd love it to be compulsory viewing for those mumbling about prices.

It's after 5, I'm not answering.

What's this then? Already in the same forum as the question has been asked in, in fact it was the first topic when this unnecessary topic was created.

You've obviously not had a run in with PC Trebasco (hotsh*t to his mates) from Truro nick, e'll tell yer.
