Sincerely sorry to hear that Dave. Thoughts are with you and your family.

Glad I don't drink beer.

Never mind whisky/whiskey!😳 A trendy London pub is selling what is believed to be Britain's most expensive beer - at an eye-watering £80.15 a pint. The pricey beverage, which is served at a boozer in Brixton, south London, is an American import. The Craft Beer Co chain has shipped over Reforged 20th Anniversary Ale at £105 per 750 ml bottle, which is around 1.3 pints, from an 'artisanal' microbrewery in San Diego, California.

That explains that then!

Just looked at the A La Carte menu. What are 'invisible chips'? £8.

I bought some of these a couple of years ago. Well made but the problem was that the terminal screws were not capture screws. Lost a few whilst making connections under the baseboards. I did report this to them on their blog but never got an answer. Perhaps they have changed the design by now.

Never buy new batteries again! Recycling at it's best. Not sure about the health benefits though. Elf & Safety ...............................?

Shows you how much I know

Will Bachmann make one? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/travel/travel_news/article-10328891/Pictured-DMV-Japans-amazing-bus-turns-train.html

Makes you think.

At auction. Estimate £12,000 to £18,000 for ONE bottle. Any takers?

You took the biggest slice of cake! Anybody you know?

Big blue bag - recycling - once a week. Free. Big green bag - garden waste - once a fortnight. Free. Small green bin - food waste - once a week. Free. Black bags - non recyclable - once a fortnight. Free. When I say free, I'm sure it is built into our council tax!

£347.78p

I'm in dispute with Osbourn's Models at the moment via PayPal. Result will be posted when I get it.

I thought about that a long, long time ago Phil but decided I wanted to do my own, warts and all! Think I am doing warts at the moment. It is easy (?) to fling money at it but it would not sit well with me. By the way I have copied a bit for the TT etc from your 'GWR Terminus in WW2'. Would this be right for my layout? Yes Chris it was very good. I have no idea why I did not look at it more closely. Means a radical redraw though. I may have a go at it whilst finishing the first half of the baseboard, painting, bolting sections together and running the cables for the bus. Keith, I have copied a bit - see above. Working on it! Thanks to all you guys for your help. I am truly grateful. Cheers Pete

No it's not because of you Harlequin. It's the not knowing things that get me. I cannot get a book out, look at a formula and solve a problem, if you see what I mean. As I said in my first post, I know nothing about the workings of railways. All my life I have lived by the mantra of 'I know what I don't know'. If I did not know something, I would ask somebody. Not trying to bullsh!t my way through a problem, and I saw a lot of that! I am sure I will get there someday. Don't worry. Cheers Pete

I am now getting a bit dispirited! Pete

Now I am really worried Harlequin. Pete

Only a lighthearted comment Chris. No offence intended I only put that point in in case I thought of 'something' to run back/to there. I have now deleted it. There will be a shuffling around of the points at the west end of the platforms once I start laying the track. I will be doing the storage area at the bottom first. True FP. I was just trying to move the TT out of the way and leave all the inner centre section open for 'other stuff'. I've tried to put the TT at the top right but it does not work too well. I may have to consider putting it back inside the main lines together with the full Monty of shed, ash, coal etc. Are we moving forward? I don't know, but the storage sidings at the bottom will be starting to go in next week. I have to move on or my grandkids will be building this ! Cheers Pete

Hi Keith It is the Peco LK-55 according to SCARM. Your diameter is correct. The Hornby one is 380 mm diameter to the edge of the rim and 440 mm end to end of the rail joiners. A bit big. I may, (probably), replace this and sell off the Hornby one. Cheers Pete

Yes I will do this. Seen it on a few YouTube videos. I intended to do this Keith. The TT on my plan is a Peco one although the one I have is Hornby. I will compare sizes. I have temporarily (?) put the TT in the top left hand corner. Leaves a bit more room in the middle sections. Added a couple of low relief houses as well just to give an idea. Awaiting Chimer's reaction Cheers Pete

Forgot to mention. The garage is integral to the house, bedroom above, our house to the left, next door to the right and our kitchen at the back. Only the door is exposed to the elements but it is a very good electric door and seals top and sides perfectly. However the bottom seal is not 100%. I need to get this sorted. Pete

Will have a think over the weekend Zomboid. Cheers Pete
