Not just a troll, but a troll that cannot spell. Hopefully, you will give up on RMWEB soon too.

According to the Hornby man on the stand.

Coming soon, and at the Toyfair today. Exquisite little models, and I shall get a Westminster as soon as it comes out! Paul

Seen at the Toyfair today. Apparently arriving next week. BR versions to follow. Paul

At the Toyfair earlier. Lovely, with see-through frames and everything. Paul

Excellent news! My next dooor neighbour used to drive Westminster at Shipton cement works.

Rare in hotel rooms, rare in US Army facilities, and pretty unusual in most of the private homes I’ve been in. People seem to have hob kettles more though. And I have spent a lot of time in the USA.

A practical example of what happens when you run fixed resistance devices at low voltages. In America, electric kettles are rare. So is decent tea. I always take a Tesco Value (£4.95) kettle and Yorkshire Tea when I go for work. Normally, with 110V, the kettle takes 4 times as long to boil as it does here. Using Ohm’s law, we can deduce that as a 2200W (10 Amps x 220 volts) device on 220V, it has a resistance of 22 ohms. This means that at 110V it will only draw 5 Amps. It therefore becomes a very slow 550W kettle. Despite this, my American friends are usually so impressed with a device that actually boils water, that they are delighted to accept it as a parting gift, giving me more room in my bag for all the stuff I have ended up buying.

My first regular drive, the Daimler Ferret Scout Car, Mark 2. I know how to get 80mph out of one, and someone I knew allegedly disconnected the front wheel drive and skimmed the head, to make it capable of a ton (when driven on an old runway). The brakes always left more than a little to be desired though, and don’t really work over 10mph... still, the transmission slows it down nicely; it’s all about anticipation in an FSC!

Passes? Not again. She has died, not achieved good GCSE results. Gah!

I think the surprise might be the NBR Reid coaches that I heard were coming with the J36... Here’s hoping for a Saint though! Paul

Perhaps you should try standard class before pronouncing on the seats. Those of us who have to pay for our own tickets are getting a very poor seat indeed.

Thanks for rejigging.

The topic title could easily have the date too. Better than having it in a special username which is too long to display on a phone. It is only in replying to your unhelpful reply that I have seen the date. Your link does not display as a link either. Instead of being a smarta**e, why not display the information in the topic title, like most other exhibitions do?

It would be helpful to add the date into the original post, especially as the website is not linked. Thanks, Paul

Ah, the same people who want non-corridor GWR coaches, even though their were only penny packets of most diagrams? Thanks, and again, a real pity. Incidentally, Bill of Rapido said that it wasn’t too late to change to a 2021, but there you are. I have a 1600 already, scratchbuilt from brass sheet when I was at school. Sadly, I don’t think I could build something nearly as good now! Paul Except for boiler, wheels and wheelbase... Except for boiler, wheels and wheelbase...

A quick plea whilst it’s still just drawings... Please make it possible to produce a 2021... (With belpaire boiler and pannier tanks.) Same wheels, boiler and wheelbase. 50 years’ extra service life. More than one livery. Open or closed cabs. Some auto-fitted locomotives, a couple even in BR days. Lovely Birkenhead Docks locos with bells. Industrial service too... What’s not to like? There were more of them than the 16xx, even in BR days! Thanks, Paul

My watch was doing something funny... it said 9.10 when we were allowed in, and suddenly it was 5.25 when I had to leg it for a train home...

He was at Warley today, extolling the virtues of small, coreless motors and gear-connected driving wheels in 00 steam locos. 30,000 sold and all positive feedback. Non-running 14xx available at £40 each, other returns also available on his stand. Class 71s at £60.

Hope to join you on Saturday!

When speaking in such an authoritative tone, it is helpful not to make a basic error. The D49 tooling is “Edward”. He is blue. Henry the Green Engine is the old tender-drive Black 5.

Maybe it’s just 800 020? It was in reversed formation, and we were in the second coach, on top of quite a rattly diesel engine that went off with a shudder in platform 4 at Didcot.

Apple, a new iphone7 charger. Fine on diesel, but madness when on electric. Whoever designed the position of the sockets also needs sacking too. Impossible to see, and very hard to feel. My nine-year-old daughter pointed out how much more sensible the Chiltern ones on the 168s were on our return journey.

I discovered an interesting issue on 800 020 this morning. After the pantograph went up at Didcot the electrical interference received by my iPhone through the charger made it unworkable. Home button clicking, random apps opening when different bits of the screen were touched, and impossible to type. Unplugged it and all was well. No wonder it interferes with signalling!
