  8. I went to relatives in Allerton by train to Liverpool South Parkway and then bus last Saturday. The driver was really helpful and gave me a shout when we got near the stop I needed. All bus fares in Liverpool are £2 for adults at present - excellent value!
  9. With the coaches being named “Annie” and “Clarabel” - they were fun times on the branch!
  10. They need to bring these back - warm, comfy and (usually!) reliable 🙂
  11. Hi. You can also run JMRI on Mac OS on a Mac device or on Linux devices but not on an iPad/iPhone. If you have a Windows PC, Mac/Macbook or Linux device, you install JMRI on there, there are then Apps like WiThrottle that run on the iPad to allow you to control your trains using the JMRI device as an interface. Hope that helps take care :)
  12. Passing Uttoxeter station on the 1051 Crewe to Derby RTC LE move on Monday 6 February is 37601.
  13. I’ve recently put Linux Mint on an ancient ASUS laptop, there is a cut down version designed for older devices. Its made the laptop completely usable again, just need to get JMRI working on it and I’ll be a very happy bunny!!
  14. That’s a superb photo @Nick G - you have really got me thinking about a second O gauge 08 - my photo of 08806 at Bletchley.....

  17. What a fantastic read for a Wednesday morning! Thanks Kier and co for some inspirational photos and for rekindling memories of happy times growing up around the railway in the 70's - good times! Take care all.
  18. I learnt in my very first job to keep work and home as completely separate entities - that has never let me down and I’ve seen so many people get hurt over the years.
  19. 37610 passes under Bamford bridge in Uttoxeter on the 1212 Derby to Warrington LE move on Tuesday 31 January 2023.
  20. Screwfix trestles are excellent value. Height adjustable, fold almost flat and very sturdy. I’ve used them for my exhibition layout and they are ideal for my purposes.
  21. Bit of a left field one for me - an album called "Good News" by Rend Collective who are an Irish based Christian rock/folk band. Some of the lyrics of their songs were a lifesaver during a difficult patch a few years ago - still make me cry when I listen to them now, but how much stronger they have made me. Music can be so powerful and life changing........
  22. There is a great article in the latest edition of "Traction" magazine all about 9000 and its time with VXC. Includes all the work behind the scenes to make it happen and about crew training,etc. Look forward to part 2 of that article - fascinating! Hth.

  24. I’ve got a 009 Alan Keef AK40 boxed away somewhere that I got in the early 90s. Finished it in contractors orange and black, it was always a bit of a jerky runner! Sure that it was one of Brian’s kits.
