    Transatlantic - KaLIVEoscope. Three and a half hour triple-CD live album.
  2. Tim H
    Is that an 87 lurking in the background?

    Threshold - For the Journey. First listen...

    A bunch of AOR/hard rock promos from Frontiers Records. Lande/Allen and Vega so far. Coming to the conclusion I'm a much bigger fan of prog and metal than AOR. This stuff is a bit samey....

    Pineapple Thief - Magnolia. Steve is right about this one! Robert Plant - Lullaby and The Ceaseless Road. Best thing he's done for years, with a fire that's been missing from his last few albums Steve Rothery - The Ghosts of Pripyat. Superb all-instrumental album. Mr So and So - Truth and Half Lies.Their latest and best album, and they're even better live. Empty Yard Experiment - Kallisti. Excellent prog-metal from a band based in the middle-east. I've reviewed it here.

    Interesting to note the changes to the track layout; the 1974 pic shows the older steam-era layout at the west end with the double junction and trailing slip connection to the down main, the 1976 picture shows the present-day layout.

    Those Polybulks were looking wallet-scaring...

    Crippled Black Phoenix - White Light Generator. Very impressive album.

    When Empires Fall. Self-titled album from the new project by Paul Teasdale, formerly of Breathing Space and Sloten Earth.

    42XX or 52XX 2-8-0T in N?

    Fight! Fight! Rush - Power Windows. HMV have a special off on classic prog albums at the moment; you can pick up almost all of Rush's albums at a fiver each.

    Drilling holes in MDF. First work I've done on the layout for ages.

    Cosmograf - Capacitor Steve Rothery - Live in Rome Opeth - Damnation Opeth - Heritage Karnataka - New Light. I'm finding I much prefer Hayley Griffith's takes on the older material to the newer stuff. Lisa Fury had far more depth of emotion.

    Opeth - Pale Communion. Second listen, and this is impressing me a lot. It's not remotely metal, though; first impression is it's a cross between the best bits of Heritage and Damnation, with a bit of Storm Corrosion thrown in for good measure.

    And when do we get the 2mm version?
  16. Tim H
    Neal Morse - Songs for November. Wasn't impressed on first listen, but it gets better on repeated plays provided you skip the one "pass the sick bag" track, Talking Heads - Fear of Music
  17. Tim H
    The CDs from various merch stands at last weekend's Cambridge Rock Festival Synphony of Pain - Hydeolgy. The Tirith - The Daughter of the Water The Windmill - The Continuation Northsyde - The Storyteller's Daughter All bands completely new to me

    The Enid - Live at Birmingham Town Hall Great seeing them live in Balham last weekend.

    I categorise each new model that's appropriate for my era and region as "essential" or "nice to have". The essential ones I'll buy when they come out, the "nice to haves" I'll wait and pick them if and when I see them heavily discounted. Unfortunately for my wallet the Polybulks fall into the "essential" category....

    Comparing those photos with Ben's photos of the Farish Polybulks, I'd say that the Farish Polybulks are the superior models in terms of detail and realism.
  21. Tim H
    39 squid for the Polybulks? Yikes! And something I need a block train of too!
  22. Tim H
    So, what diagram is the Farish model, and exactly how does it differ from other RU diagrams? (And has anybody found evidence that any RMBs carried C&C livery outside of preservation?)

    "Steam on West of England Main Lines", page 29 - Torbay Express in 1960 with a full rake of chocolate & cream Mk1s, catering vehicle is clearly an RU. There's also a photo (can't find the book at the moment) of the westbound Cornish Riviera coming off the Saltash bridge behind a Warship. again with full chocolate & cream Mk1 set including an RU

    It was pairs of BFKs on the Waterloo-Exeter trains, but I'm sure I remember FKs on the Paddington-Oxford/Newbury lines. The lack of any first class coach makes it impossible to make up an accurate prototypical formation.

    Mastodon - Once More Around The Sun. On two listens, rather better than their last one, The Hunter, which I thought sounded a bit too commercial.
