I have seen descriptions like this recently on eBay from another seller. I didn't realise it was AI though, I just thought it was just someone who couldn't string a few words together properly writing about something they didn't know anything about. Obviously though, two different people wouldn't be able to come up with near identical gibberish. I thought AI was supposed to be a bit better than this......

I have done hook turns quite a few times when driving in Melbourne but my preferred option is to proceed to the next intersection and turn left three times.

I didn't eat much of my last crop of it. It kept getting stripped back to the stems before it got big enough to harvest. I suspect the local possums might be the culprits.

I really need to update the GPS in my car. The last time I used the M4 tunnel, it kept telling me to turn right or do a U-turn with monotonous regularity until I was out in the open again.

And, although I have had quite a lot of Dublo locomotives that have been in drastic need of a service when I bought them, I haven't had any that acted as if they were seized up, other than one 0-6-2T chassis which must have been assembled from left-over bits and pieces. It would only travel very roughly in one direction and wouldn't move when you tried to change direction. After dismantling it I discovered the reason - it had a coarse threaded worm, and a fine threaded gearwheel......

I have been using Labelle 102 as my lubricant of choice for at least 8 years now and don't have any issues with it.

Didn't Wrenn do an LMS version of the Fruit D?

3830 at work on the layout. She can handle four Dublo tinplate LMS coaches fairly well, but struggles with the SD ones, slipping now and then.

After spending more time than I probably should have on Google Streetview, I'm convinced that was where it was taken. I couldn't find the buildings, but there are a few relatively new large buildings and also some areas where demolition has taken place some years ago, so I'm guessing they no longer exist. The location sort of fits my recollection, as I'm pretty certain I took the photo on the same day I visited the Glasgow School of Art in Renfield Street. For what it's worth, here's another photo I took that day, probably in the same area. Nothing much in the way of old cars, but at least there's an old bus....... And, staying in Glasgow and getting back to the subject of old cars, here's a photo I took of the exterior of the old Glasgow Museum of Transpot:

I have had my Skoda Octavia for 10 years now without any trouble from it. The servicing costs don't seem unreasonably high either.

The high rise flats in the back make me think it might be looking towards Woodside, but I'm from the North East, so I don't know Glasgow that well. If it were Dundee or Aberdeen I probably wouldn't be asking the question......

One thing about the "Duchesses" was the variety of liveries they carried - just about everything imaginable. My version of Queen Elizabeth is finished in the plain black she wore for a short time after having the streamlining removed. She was soon afterwards repainted in the then new LMS post-war lined black livery. This model is a repainted Dublo City of London (which I bought in a rather scruffy state and minus a tender) converted to three rail and coupled to a tinplate Dublo Duchess of Montrose tender (mainly because they're cheaper and easier to find than City of London tenders).

Seeing as how some of us are showing off old photographs of street scenes, here's a few I took in Scotland in the 1970s: Bank Street, Galashiels High Street, Montrose Princes Street, Edinburgh Somewhere in Glasgow (I can't remember where it was, but it ight have been somewhere around Pollockshields) I do have more, but I think that's enough for now.......

I had a similar problem with one once and, although it could well be something different in your case, for what it's worth, my problem was caused by one turn of wire sticking out a fraction more than it should have, with the result that the wire would occasionally touch the magnet.

If you don't mind a few inaccuracies, having to replace the roof, and having to order and have them posted from Australia, a repainted NSWGR GSV sheep van could pass as a Highland Railway sheep wagon from a distance: https://www.australianmodeller.com.au/products/nswgr-gsv-4-wheel-sheep-van-nos-26566-26573-26579-26585-pack-2
