POA = Price on Application? Maybe you have to pay a lot extra for the box?
-
Not unless Tashkent is some kind of flower in Russian. (Its a Tashkent class Russian destroyer of which there was only 1).
-
There are a few dogs (and cats) around here who learnt the hard way not to trifle with Tilly! Not that she was (or is) aggressive, but she wasn't going to stand for any nonsense in her own patch or even more with anyone who attacked her buddy Badger.
-
Would certainly render the line "to mar their hunting's sport" uttered by a witch in Purcells opera Dido and Aeneas meaningless!

Badger once took a bath. As a kitten, he liked to walk round my bathtub while I was in it, until one day he discovered too late that he had grown too broad for the wall side stretch and fell in with a mighty splash! Jumped out pretty quick via me and insisted on being toweled dry.

Names of TfL Overground lines
eastglosmog replied to MikeB's topic in UK Prototype Discussions (not questions!)
Well, I just hope nobody using the Windrush Line expects to end up in the pleasant West Oxfordshire towns of WItney or Burford or anywhere else up the Windrush valley. -
Kennaway Tunnel - North portal design reasons
eastglosmog replied to alexross42's topic in UK Prototype Questions
The line was single in broad gauge days and in standard gauge until c 1906 (I think). Had to be doubled on the landward side, otherwise would have had to move the sea wall out! With the main road at the top of the cliffs, could not cut the slope back, so had to build the oblique arch to support the slope. -
Works for me, but you may need to add the county (e.g. /oxfordshire ) after the uk to get it to work for your local area.

I think someone is stretching reality there. To the best of my knowledge, the A96 is two or more lanes all the way between Fochabers and Elgin

Catch it if you can and take it round to the vets or your local cat charity to scan for a microchip. It looks well cared for and probably in the "Six dinner Sid" category, looking for a seventh dinner from you!
-
To misquote Stroudley, I take it that must be "Improved Engine Black" or green to everyone else!

An example of a GWR occupation/accommodation gate across a farm track and footpath near Bledington on the Kingham-Stow section of the Banbury and Cheltenham, closed in 1964.

55 Foot Turntable - Allowed Locomotives
eastglosmog replied to WillCav's topic in UK Prototype Questions
You need to go a good way down the 2nd page, but GWR.org has a picture of a 2000 gallon Duke tender on an outrigger at Penzance. http://www.gwr.org.uk/no-tenders.html -
No Way! Tilly wouldn't even fit into a quart mug and shes not a very big MaineCoon. You would have needed a gallon one for Badger.
-
Well it certainly should not be used for making Yoghurt 🙂

Abandoned rails in the road.....(or elsewhere...)
eastglosmog replied to 33C's topic in Modelling musings & miscellany
These rails carried the mine tubs from the Knight Shaft of the Mogul Mines of Ireland at Garryard. Last used in 1982.

Tilly is lactose intolerant and is banned from having any diary products. All my other cats have consumed milk without any bother, though.

Lifting section with hinges below, or lift out?
eastglosmog replied to ITG's topic in Modelling Questions, Help and Tips
I think the technical name is a Rising Butt Hinge, used to lift doors up over carpet, for example. -
Yes indeed. I suspect the looseness of the wheels is an indication it is not in boxed condition, whatever they may say!
-
I don't understand the listing Its in Boxed Condition, but the powered wheels are loose on the axle? Was Triang's quality control then as bad as Boeing's is today?
-
Assuming (and that may be a rather optimistic assumption) that it really is 00 gauge, then it looks more like a Talyllyn slate wagon in 7mm/ft.
-
I have spent my working life around spoil heaps and similar things. Must have thousands of such pictures. At £2 a go, could retire easily!

The explanation is given by Terry Pratchet in his The Unadulterated Cat. They are really Schrodinger's cats who can time travel, so they can skip forward a couple of days and get the massive Welcome Home feed and cuddles!
