  1. The shell wasstill there in 2011 but had gone by yhe next GoogleEarth view 2011 2010 streetview: https://maps.app.goo.gl/NcXQpnwjjQHXzH456
  2. OS map shows the old alignment as well https://maps.nls.uk/view/114592842
  3. The HL coreless motors are pretty good, good torque and better than the cheapo Chinese ones seen around (even if the HL ones are Chinese.....😉)
  4. Which ones? In fact, which ones have the spare capacity to do that?
  5. That's a N American Elk Thi is a Eurasian Elk
  6. Another thing modellers have to contend with if using RTR track is that much real world trackwork is bespoke to the location and can't be faithfully replicated with RTR track such as Peco Streamline. Compound points are quite common and often there are many curved points of varying radii on the approaches. When you start planning with RTR track often many compromises are needed to get everything to fit. Of course if you build your own track, much more prototypical layouts can be produced.
  7. On the Kenilworth to Berkswell line, which was closed in 1969
  8. Seen plenty of mice running around at track level, even when busy during the day. They don't seemed bothered by the trains or all the people milling around.
  9. AliExpress are registered with HMRC for VAT collection, so their should be no hidden costs.
  10. A new series starting on Channel 5 at 20:00 tonight. Little information about the content of the episode in the listings, just that it is 35C on the surface and even hotter down in the tube. and it is busy It's the first of a 6 part series.
  11. Looks like this has gone now. (been off for a while) It's still in the main "Live" menu but isn't operating and not shown on their State map anymore, no explanation on the site..
  12. A definte no-no I would've thought due to their height, some 7" taller than a 61XX and considerably heavier on the driving wheels
  13. One double decker, I suppose half a million sounds more dramatic than 1😄
  14. I have a Rails account and don't get loads of e-mails. Just unsubscribe.
  15. Old joke coming up: I rather have a full bottle in front of me, than a full frontal lobotomy......😁
  16. Just the job, thanks Iain. Downloaded the PDF.
  17. Can someone please point me to a full set of operating instructions for the YD7001?
  18. I've got two as well, one is a very early one with the Digikeijs firmware updated and has been used a lot (it is still a DR5000), I use this for testing at my "home office bench", the other had hardly been used and I was going to ebay it but I now have a use for it having been upgraded to a YD7001, for a new shelf layout in the railway room.
  19. Why not? Neither will be the same as the other, it all depends on the builders touch what is actually arrived at. Many artists have painted the same scene.
  20. All corridor coaches? IIRC the suburban ones were always some shade of red on the WR.
