Good luck with this. I pass through Evesham quite regularly, my wife's family are from the Vale. Are you local to it? The Station Hotel is still extant and would make a fine low relief backscene.

I tend to agree with you MarkAustin. The reason older buildings are flush pointed is that they are built with lime mortar, not Portland cement. Lime is more porous; the flush finish gives the least surface area for rain to soak into. Lime joints are typically narrower than modern ones too.

Also remember that for those depicting railways in the mid 20th century, Victorian or Edwardian properties will be 50 to 80 years younger than they are now, and consequentially the brickwork would have a much crisper finish than today.

Big!

If those are your concerns the I would refer you to the literature that each Nuclear Site Operator can provide you with to demonstrate their adherence to Nuclear Site Licensing Conditions, which (amongst other things) will demonstrate how they ensure security of their site.

Any fool can tick boxes. They would hardly issue a document identifying the known risks, to say nothing of the unknown ones. Mandy-Rice Davies applies.

This is just nonsense and the worst type of tabloid scaremongering. Apart from the sites being well-protected (by the CNC), think about the civil engineering of a nuclear reactor and then think about what it actually takes to plough through several metres of concrete, steel and lead (?) etc.

 

Post 9/11 several bodies carried out computer simulations of modern wide bodied aircraft being flown into nuclear plants - the results said they wouldn't even breach the containment structure let alone the reactor vessel.

And your response is complacent nonsense. What about an inside job? What about computer hacking? What about the myriad of supplier companies whose components or services could be got-at in any number of ways?

No More Lonely Nights - Wings

A fleeing Taliban terrorist, desperate for water, was plodding through the Afghan desert when he saw something far off in the distance. Hoping to find water, he hurried toward the mirage, only to find a very frail little Jewish man standing at a small makeshift display rack, selling ties.

The Taliban terrorist asked, "Do you have water?"

The old man replied,

"I have no water. Would you like to buy a tie? They are only $5."

The Taliban shouted hysterically,

"Idiot Infidel! I do not need such an overpriced western adornment. I spit on your ties. I need water!"

"Sorry, I have none, just ties - pure silk, and only five dollars."

"Pahh! A curse on your ties! I should wrap one around your scrawny little neck and choke the life out of you, but I must conserve my energy and find water!"

"Okay," said the little old Jewish man. "It does not matter that you do not want to buy a tie from me, or that you hate me, threaten my life, and call me Infidel. I will show you that I am bigger than any of that. If you continue over that hill to the east for about two miles, you will find a restaurant. It has the finest food and all the ice-cold water you need. Go in peace."

Cursing him again, the desperate Taliban staggered away over the hill.

Several hours later he crawled back, almost dead and said,

"They won't let me in without a tie”.
