  1. I fear that I could starve in a McDonalds as almost every time I try use a touch screen it gives up before getting half way through an order!
  2. It is well known we are doing more with less so eventually, we will be able to do everything with nothing!
  3. I see the Top Secret maps have been published showing where the tank parking is shown in orange is and the Gents Toilets in green!
  4. Meanwhile for normal tax payers it will be one guinea in the pound...
  5. As I have got older the more I believe Oliver Cromwell had the right idea.
  6. As long as they remain in the same pack there will be no problem. It’s not being in the pack that is the problem!
  7. It would be nice to see the reverse the Charles Roberts hopper in 4mm scale; especially as the old Mainline one is wrong on so many dimensions!
  8. There was a quote from breaker in the Tinsley area, 'take these away and send some proper wagons'.
  9. The cynical exploitation of many religions festivals for commercial purpose and then add in made up ones. As you get older you realise the Marx brothers were right there ain’t no sanity clause.
  10. There are those that walk amongst us that are so intelligent they are thick!
  11. I suspect its one of the two that had Air Through Pipes added.
  12. Similar quote about Paddington to Heathrow when Leeds Drives were getting handling time on 332's as the333's were late: 'we've got longer block sections' !
  13. What have the Romans done for us, no need for upgrading Watling Street!
  14. Bedlington South’s Down Section and Bedlington North’s Distant less than 300yardsto to the Home board!
  15. Alas it’s all about the politics mixed with vested interests and a word from our sponsor….
  16. Recently Doncaster railway station has installed analogue digital clocks!
  17. The whole idea of the National interest and an economic policy are things of the past, the short sight saga based on election cycles has doomed the country! The great Carbon Dioxide saga recently shows how out of touch ministers were
  18. The phrase ‘ all associated signals’ is very relevant to the above!
  19. The biggest problem with the current way of planning is the logic is everyone wants to go to London and have short journey times meaning that intermediate stations suffer along with many intermediate journeys. Berwick to Northallerton is a hard journey with forty minutes waiting at Darlington not being unusual! Too many trains for the amount of railway.
  20. They wouldn't work now as it would be too technical for the current younger generation to use or realise some months have a different number of days!
  21. The loading diagrams are available on the Barrowmore website with the main dimensions on them, both of the designs were built by WH Davis on recovered tank chassis, the PS016A are on shortened TSV chassis (Airfix tank type).
  22. The two types of Heljan bogies available as spares via Hatton’s .
  23. Cambois Power Station construction started in 1951 and fully open 1966. Extensive sidings before there was stocking on site.
