The Spontaneous Multiple Unit Generator has spawned again, another one I don't remember buying, a class 150 this time... Makes a change from 108s!

Some topics are worth following just because the English is so appalling and the ideas are so ridiculous...

If I get banned it's been good to know most of you

Anyone else think in terms of red frogs and black frogs when wiring points?

@Hroth said "Red and Black date back to the pre-1977 mains cable colours, you really should start thinking in terms of Brown and Blue"
... but Blue doesn't rhyme with track!!! That's why it's still Red and Black to the track. 😀

My new Antex XS25 is a lot hotter than my old one. Both still work, both same model. Is this a change to reflect lead-free working?

Moving home this week to a place with a huge garage. This means work should be able to restart on Ravensclyffe. All progress has been halted for six months while we were house hunting

Not sure - but I think I might have met him a few hours ago, when I had to print out some web pages.
Firefox had changed all the printer settings - so everything printed out in miniature.
Took ages of hunting through "help" files - and looking online - to work out how to fix it.
Ever wondered why there are lots of "search engines" - and rather less "find engines"?

On busy trains I take great pleasure in asking people to move their bags to make seats available for sitting.

I’ll admit that often I do have my bags on the seat next to me, although that’s normally because the train is quiet enough to allow that. Any time I’m asked to move my bags, or if the train gets busier, then I will do so, although one time in July 2020 going from Carlisle to Glasgow a request to move my bags came rather rudely.

Is it possible to hide all posts by an individual?

Another fingertip falls victim to the craft knife, really should have learnt from the first time I did it!

Has anyone eaten my half inch chisel?

The correct verdict...

When you wander into random topics almost by accident and realise that virtually all of RMweb is small groups of online friends chattering about everything except toy trains

Hi Andi
I know mates just talking together.
I ran a rebuilt Patriot with six LMS coaches behind it, and a B17 with four Thompson coaches behind it tonight as I done some modelling. I have now filed all the main windows to size as I convert a Tri-ang Sleeper coach to a SK. I also listened to the last weeks new releases as suggested by Spotify. This is one the best this week.
I hope you and Sheena are OK.

What do you mean "toy trains"?
Surely it's all "precision models" - and "serious research", presumably into all the vitally important details, such as exactly how many rivets were fitted to a specific loco (and precisely where they were fitted).
There's also the critical matter of how much
funoperating potential is offered by various layouts, loco / stock combos and whatever else.I probably shouldn't add this - but, when I was much younger, it wasn't exactly unknown for me to use the "serious research" term to describe
muckingroundwiththoroughly testing radio controlled buggies - throwing them round ridiculously tight "doughnuts", "figure 8s" and all manner of other stuff nobody would ever be allowed to try with a real, full sized, car.Saying that, though,
itwasgreatfunI'm sure I must have learnt a lot from all of this stuff - if nothing else, that I'd never want to drive like that in real life. (No prizes for guessing that my driving licence has always been clean.)Anyway, that's more than enough of my thread hijack. Back to the trains (and whatever else).

How am I meant to do any modelling with a cat asleep on my shoulder?

Someone's nicked my cat avatar :(

Anyone got any spare inspiration they can lend me please?

Filing insulation gaps in copperclad sleepers on a 4ft long piece of three track pointwork is tedious
