Looks like someone has wrenched the wire fencing from the gatepost

Don't need to leave it outside. Even indoors in a box it tarnishes badly over time. A good way of weathering, just clean the running surface and away you go. (just takes a while)

I have reported E.On to TPS as I am TPS registered and also opted out of phone contact on my E.On account settings. Lets see what happens.

So you are disagreeing with what I personally have seen? Quite how do you manage to do that?😁

One of the US sites was reporting that the Dali is holed below the water line, the front section is flooded and the bow is sitting on the river bed. Couldn't find corroboration elsewhere.

One thing I have found with blocking persistent spammers is that if you are a customer (in my case EON) they are classed as legitimate marketing calls and TPS isn't interested. So you block the number with your phone provider and they just use a different legit number to spam you!

AFAIK all the spoofed spam calls I have seen use unissued numbers. Most are legit numbers that are not actually in use. Some, usually foreign, just have a load of meaningless numbers e.g. non existent country prefixes or wrong number of digits etc.

Part of the Android system. I found it quite quickly in Setting>Help>Calls You can block a number (and report it to google as spam as well if you want)

If the Caller ID is blocked, it is blocked. Whether it is the correct caller ID is another matter as it is the actual number that is spoofed.

Blue Island is back on for all.

I'm in Worcestershire but the exchange is part of the Birmingham director area, which goes somewhat over the border into Worcestershire. We were an early area for FTTC, when most of outer Birmingham was done, before several areas that are now FTTH or planned to be. On the BT checker map we are lumped with a couple of parts of south Birmingham plus parts of Warwickshire and Worcestershire (which are not part of Birmingham area), as an island of no Full Fibre, whilst other areas less populated around us are on the list. BTW, I had another EE flyer again telling me I can have full fibre now.☹️

Have you done any setting up?

They could supplement the on train dining specials with suitable smells On the fish & chip supper, they could use recycled chip fat for the loco. On a curry nights they could serve the chicken tikka masala to the smell of recycled ghee from the local curry house in the firebox. On train dining with authentic smells😁

For main line use they could run them off OLE:

I had That as just a quick snip to post here, when first opened I've actually set outdoors. I prefer Mapnik on OSM but not available on this.

The one I posted had finished it's last journey of the day. I assume the driver hadn't reset the system and was still displaying it's route, which finishes outside the garage anyway.

That's the charging socket for the electric buses........😉 Takes a while though🙂

It's actually quite a good app, although not always perfect.

Like this Bus is actually in the garage!☹️

These: 750hp 3 Car articulated. LMS 1938

You didn't specify MN series only & 21pin. Why buy decoders if you don't use them? Sounds like a contradiction🙂 The MN series are completely redesigned with new MCU architecture, so I wouldn't expect bargain prices. I still think £34 for a Zimo MN340C 21 pin is reasonable.

Looks like that has had more than one previous life.🙂

Do you consider £25 high end? Still available from several retailers at that price.

I did that some years ago for general use, having seen removal men, scene shifters etc using them. For castors I used those heavy duty ones with ball bearings on the swivel and large plastic wheels e.g. https://www.diy.com/departments/unbraked-heavy-duty-swivel-castor-wc47-dia-80mm-h-107mm-max-weight-70kg/5010952855356_BQ.prd Well worth the effort

I'm not especially skilled in woodworking I used ply on edge around the edges of the baseboard, glued & screwed Makes a pretty rigid structure.
