Had to get home before that bottle of white wine she opened and drunk half before going to pick the kids up warms up to much to finish on her return.

I know, over 20 years ago I used to work in Japan a lot and brought back tons (well a bloomin’ lot) of Kato N stuff in my luggage and built and layout, all DCC with simple clip in decoders without taking the bodies off the EMU/DMUs remote points with built in motors, quad point crossovers as one piece and far, far better detail and completely different league of running qualities of our own home grown N gauge back then, Farish might have been clockwork compared to the Kato locos. I didn’t dare look in the model shops when working in Europe…….yes OK I did, but at least didn’t get tempted as well 😆

Exactly, and that’s why I did, as AS seem to be able to include all this extra function and detail for less cost than the competition, regardless of “overheads” which always seem to be the excuse, just more likely a better profit margin required.

That’ll be interesting

I would have expected that would be the normal defrost procedure, high heat (AC doesn’t work above approx 3-4 degrees anyway), and full air on screen, what does it say in the manual?

Aha sorry my mistake, for some reason I thought C-HR was a Honda nomenclature, in that case my points stand, seems crazy it doesn’t operate the same as other Toyota/Lexus stable vehicles.

But it did it’s job, it slowed down a less than attentive driver 😁

Ridiculous case of not driving to the conditions, any excuse.

So what was the 1967 advice?

Problem is people can fit cheap carp replacement parts to anything nowadays and often do!

Don’t forget though HO models have had controllable pantos for years, and in G scale for decades! It is just Accurascale are now bringing the kind of detail and model engineering enjoyed outside of the UK to our market now and amazingly for a lower cost than than we pay for the same old same old we have had for years, AS have really started shaking the UK model tree and great models have started falling from it, from other manufacturers as well.

TMI

Might have been meaning the quality and engineering.

How old is the car? Seems strange they are saying it needs a new traction battery, Toyota/Lexus have been making these hybrid drives forever and they are bulletproof normally. As for the demisting if required at low temperatures it should work from key on, whether it needs engine or from battery power, that’s how our RX450h worked. edit, sorry forget yours is a Honda, forget my remarks they probably just got it wrong 😁

First pic looks like an attempt at a DIY ventilated disc, how very strange it failed. I bet the driver was showing off in McDonalds car park how he/she saved money doing it himself rather than pay for some “proper” rip off priced genuine ventilated discs, maybe along with MoT tests we should have IQ tests for drivers?

Does the fan in the non motorised Loco work?

I suppose really being public school it should be raeda domus, my mistake 😉

Typical Post Office worker 🤣

Didn’t you just pick a few letters off the pile when the you felt the urge to go? 😁

EMU plains, is that the same as carriage sidings? 😉

I hope they warn you against using it in a garage, our Range Rover had a huge warning label on the visor warning of using the cabin pre-heater in an enclosed space, and as you programmed it it also flashed the warning on the screen as well. Will the car not climatise the cabin when plugged into the charger?

Blimey I use mine so seldom my phone would be on tenterhooks just waiting, I assume it has “learnt” your usage pattern.

I still baulk at the idea of paying £360 for a diesel loco and a coach (effectively), I think the premium set is a lovely model but just not worth the cost over the Railroad set which I have, it works it just lacks finesse.

Public schools had carriage sheds 😆

They don’t think Hermes was the correct message for a delivery company, EVRI stands for every complaint ignored, a much better message 🤣
