  1. A sugar cube in the neck of a glass coke bottle then a little shake is great fun.
  2. Isinglass - https://www.isinglass-models.co.uk/Full-Isinglass-Catalogue/full-isinglass-catalogue.html GERS - https://www.gersociety.org.uk/index.php/files-emporium-home/lg-scale-drawings-by-john-gardner/lg017-ger-lner-0-6-0-tender-loco
  3. We know who the real winner was - or have you had to send out corrected parts too?
  4. I was a bit underwhelmed too. I wasn't expecting Purple Ronnie or Off with her head, but...
  5. Nope - it's a genuine question as I don't know how it works
  6. I guess they picked the 121 as most of them have been turned into coke cans now?
  7. The LNER Coach Association has an arrangement for discounted travel on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway where they are based. I'm not sure what the discount is as I prefer to pay the normal fare anyway as they need the money. If I was lucky enough to be able to travel on preserved railways frequently rather than once or twice a year perhaps I would take more notice of a discount
  8. How does it work with NRM owned locomotives? They do not allow manufacturers to make those specific ones without their permission. Other members of the same class yes, but not Green Arrow, D6700 etc.
  9. Hmm, I was interested in women before we met - don't think that would wash though
  10. Thankfully my wife and I don't "do" valentines day - our thoughts on it are we love each other more than one day a year Having said that, that's a smashing gift
  11. I'm just going to put this here - OO/EM/P4 - the scale is known as 4mm/ft O - 7mm/ft etc. We're just as guilty as Travis Perkins
  12. It would seem that the name will be aimed at the Commonwealth Games being held here this year. Not sure what they would rename TV to but I guess they could always borrow one of the B1s and call it Daley Thompson?
  13. I'm only aware of individual ones that were placed beneath the user's seat/feet rather than compartment width ones like you have pictured. However, as you suspect, it may be that due to the colder weather, coaches destined for Finland may have had something more effective fitted either when built or retrofitted on site.
  14. That's why they are so heavy - they are made from real ones.
  15. I knew about the tunnels for the cables but not that they had that in it!
  16. Maybe follow LNER practice for A1/A3s and name it Camilla?
  17. Wonder if we'll see it on Rails' page soon described as VGC? Allegedly of course
  18. Quite tiring I think going by Sir Sidney Ruff-Diamond.
  19. I see in the railway news that the real D6700 is now on loan to the Heavy Traction Group at the GCR so it can run again. It's good to see a fresh loan agreement on a diesel NRM asset
  20. I heard Madge is a Prince fan - Purple Reign.
