      Like much of this country in seems unfortunately...

      This reminds me of how I see Kenny Loggins‘s „Danger Zone“ as the perfect tune for a catchy public transport PR video!

      Well, YouTube's advertising bots seem to think Jet 2 Holidays ads are appropriate interruptions when watching a video investigating the crash of Dan Air 1008 in Tenerife with a plane load of Manchester holidaymakers.  I'm sure Jet 2 might think otherwise.

    There's already an Accurascale wishlisty topic.

    Coincidentally, maybe, I saw this on Facebook a few days ago. https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=4282876815271381&set=gm.1799870073814959&idorvanity=337630196705628 Nos.4555 & 1420. SLS Special. Bewdley. 19th September 1965. A couple of years later but nice to see.

    I've tried saying that to my wife several times; she usually replies "No, you're just being a d*ck".

    You are now moaning daily. I do hope a day gets added on to your delivery date each time. They wouldn't of course; but I would give in to temptation.

    From experience here I get to see some of the rubbish and misspellings people search for on here; all the software is trying to do is find something that relates to the rubbish/miskeyed terms. It doesn't really need anything further doing.

    Strikes me some people are obviously having a boring Sunday. 😁

    It's valid, overall, but not at all when retailers and media are told a very close date when items will be available which, subsequently, turns out, at best, to be extremely optimistic. However, when it's the same individual telling you similar things on multiple occasions, credibility for unfortunate circumstances goes right out of the window leading to a natural cynicism over anything that's presented as a fact. The boy wonder who cried wolf.

    Where there's a will (and a venue) there's a way. Costs are spiralling for all venues, they've all got to cover increased staff, energy and insurance costs before any of the club's variable costs come into the equation. Admission fees are consequently, and rightly, increasing - how much of an impact that has, particularly to casual local and family attendees, remains to be seen. I can understand clubs reticencr to take increased cost risks if they don't have a good following wind.

    I don't know if the channel give you any data on demographics Tim but Mrs Y enjoys it as much as I do. This is a rarity but she's happy to watch Portillo too - at least she doesn't complain about your dress sense. When's Siddy going to open a niche version of Tiles'r'us?

    Pacman clearly visible over Birmingham - https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-66670509.amp

      He gets about. I saw him peeping through my windows in Durham the following night.

      I was on the verge of contacting the appropriate authorities.

      We call one of my mates PacMan as he was jaundiced as a teen.

       

      Takes it in good spirits though

    Wasn't me, it was the other bloke wot dunnit.

    Good point; we could do with miniclays that don't look like the gear is made of Lego when suitably weathered.
  17. AY Mod
    Good point; I withdraw any inference that it could be a good idea. But Blue would be my choice on a VoR purchase; childhood memories.
  18. AY Mod
    Not too dissimilar to the ones they tried in the 50s? Just to give @cctransuk a bad night's kip I'd say Blue Fives would have been alright. No yellow smokebox though, just the bufferbeam.

    I wonder how many of these miniminerals will get made over the same period that BR took?
  20. AY Mod
    Tough. 😁 Everyone *should* have more wagons than locos.

    Better look more closely at Neptune.
  22. AY Mod
    That's the one! Thank you Gra. My addled head was convinced it was B/W (and that it was pre-TOPS). Chucked to see @Rugd1022 has posted in the Flickr comments so we're as bad as each other.
  23. AY Mod
    Locked. I can say it's a cracker though!
  24. AY Mod
    Cheers Nidge. It was definitely online (not to say it wasn't nicked from a book); the one I'd got in mind was a B/W shot northbound held on what's now Platform 6 in the station. It's just to check which loco it was for modelling purposes to ensure the 'never happened' mob stay silent.

    Usually; yes.
