An old RNA oppo of mine served on HMS Gentian (K90) on the Atlantic convoys. He built his model from scratch to about 1/72 well before Matchbox got around to it....

You would have to say that the Royal Navy has had it's share of names which aren't exactly inspiring anyway...Fly, Robin, Swan...

You would probably need 'Patience' and not be 'Vindictive'

Superb, Magnificent.....of the WR Warship classes

I need some Traffic Wardens, should do nicely

£77 quid....let me empty my toolbox and bin! (Although I do see a part built chassis and a couple of dubious wheelsets....)

Its interesting to look at their one follower who appears to be mutually following them! The £5,100 LU S Stock set mentioned, I think, in the ebay madness thread...

Be okay for a model of Vic Berry's yard....

Seeing as you have a channel open, and now appear to be their main business advisor this may be of some use! https://www.hants.gov.uk/business/tradingstandards/businessadvice/safety/secondhandelectricals

Um....I'm pretty sure this shouldn't be allowed without a warning or note of some kind! This kind of lack of knowledge can hurt people https://www.rocketrailways.co.uk/online-store/OO-Gauge-Tyco-Pak-1-Power-Transformer-p206739070

This is the one that's been making me want to scream out!! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OO-Gauge-Triang-Hornby-0-4-0-Fowler-2P-Steam-Loco-Repainted-3524/114281977584?hash=item1a9bbc96f0:g:DVEAAOSw3V1e-eBg

I'm not sure if I should make an offer or not? Slightly worried about what I might receive I mean how much would a nudist model go for.......

The bigger question is how I'm going to shoehorn in the Virtual Exhibition, qualifying, the race, and get some modelling in over the weekend...? (And I think SWMBO will probably want to go shopping!)

Not strictly, but an 8 wheel pony truck seems even more extreme. I'm sure I will be proved wrong now though....!

Ah....the joys of mouse spotting How many hours did I spend as a kid looking for that rodent! But while you're in London don't forget to visit Mills Brothers. LCC trams pass outside...

It's articulated, so probably 2nd radius

Hornby seem to be marketing an otherwise undiscovered GWR Mallet..... :)

I guess it's how you define MOD? Ordnance factories and storage, or Military Railways as a whole, or how about the Forestry railways? The main Naval Dockyards and depot railways were mainly in built up areas to give those who would like to model buildings and produce an almost narrow gauge 'warren' model, however there were several depots used for munitions spread around the country and at smaller ports. There were the RAF and Army camp railways which are probably better known, Longmoor, Catterick, etc. But how about the RAF's Calshott Spit narrow gauge? A rural scene could be created based on the Cleobury Mortimer and Ditton Priors, or the Shropshire and Montomeryshire, or even the little Acorn Patch Depot in the Forest of Dean as used by the US forces during WW2, (Lots of trees required!) Not forgetting the 'Secret Factories' with their own terminii. The railways of the MOD / WD / RAF and RN were as varied as the locomotives and stock used on them, covering a multitude of uses, it doesn't all need to be big loops.... If ever there was an ideal for Rule One then MOD railways probably fit it. There was an article in the Southern Way Issue 10 which had a good selection of Porton pictures and plans.

I don't think Woodford Halse could ever have been called 'Urban'!
