    NRM have not found the drawings I want, so a wasted journey to York (except I panned for their failure, and had a few reserve requests - one of which was almost as useful as the thing they can't find)

    NRM have found the Ferry wagon drawings I want to look at AND know the difference between a bollard and a capstan - things are looking up!

      Why do you want drawings of a capstan? I have a real shunting capstan you can have!

    NRM photo collection - why can't they employ someone who knows something about railways??

      Been to the Reading Room eh? They used to have people who new about the collection up there when it first opened, then they got spotty oiks with a university education instead!

      Don't get a black one, I was involved with certain elements of the paint development, and black is the wrong colour for this cold country. I can't say much more than that I'm afraid

    went to the Model Engineer show this morning, broke my 6ba tap this afternoon - why couldn't it have been the other way around?

    Almost lost the will to live - not touched a model for a month, downloaded 123d but can't think of anything to draw. Not sure I've even got the energy to go to bed.

      I did read somewhere a couple of years ago that despite media assertions to the contrary, we actually have the most punctual rail network in the EU!

      It's all the very skillful and hard working operations staff which we have :-)

  18. jonhall

    Downloaded 123d CAD - played with it a bit - quite straightforward - now what shall I draw?

      Maybe it was a Walnut escorted off by two kernels...

      No sign of Swallows, but there are a lot of green parakeets.

      Puzzling but there's bounty be an answer somewhere. (Sorry, couldn't resist it)

    Can't find the running order for the cycling time trials -perhaps I should just watch it on TV?

      yes I know that - but what order will they shoot past? How will I know who to cheer for?

      Just keep a look out for the sideburns!

    I've realised that watching the cycling on the telly is actually rather better than going out and standing by the road.

    1. DonB

      DonB

      And it would have been better if the director / producer had fed info. about time-gaps and named break-away participants onto screen or to the commentators, who often didn't know what was happening. Not nearly as good coverage as the TdF

  25. jonhall

    Why does the Radio Times website only tell me how to watch 'radio' on freeview, but not what frequency/wavelength it is broadcast on?

    1. jonhall

      jonhall

      thats what I want - a bit of commentry for the cycling- the 25km to go marker is at the end of my road
