One "allegedly" from EVRI today saying I owe them £1.38 and much as I hate to admit it this is a well written and clever scam. Not my parcel but as I have an EVRI log-in I read and then checked the displayed tracking number (without opening the email obviously) via EVRI’s website.  As a book reviewer for the SLS I do get random unexpected parcels of books, hence the need for checking just in case.

 

That check reveals it is a correct tracking number for a NIKE parcel that was delivered to someone/somewhere today but not in our small postcode cluster. When I logged in to EVRI I got no warning of funds owed, therefore either EVRIs records are corrupted or a scammer is hoping to get the scam fee asked for plus enough bank details so they can extract funds.

 

As usual if you get one of these asking for money scams just forward it to report@phishing.gov.uk then delete.

 

I have had the same but for Royal Mail even down to the same amount owed

Can you park at/near your local station?

yes & cost me 1/4 of the fuel cost on top of the travel cost until public transport is cheaper than by car it will not work for long distance travel

for me to get to GET's puplic transport 6 hours to get there to get home I would only get 2 hours before having to leave (last bus 17.55)

but in my car its only 3 1/2 hours each way & cost over 50% less

If i were to attend I know which way i would travel

It's hardly the fault of the club/venue that, even if the venue is well-served by public transport, many of the prospective customers are not as well-served at their starting point.

 

How many travel to the NEC by car vs public transport?

for me my last buss leaves the town before 6pm so as you say how would i get home

9 miles to my local station but the last bus home leaves the town at 17.55 so that me never attending a show thats  not in my home town if i want time to look at all of the show

Update the steps & bridge were removed back in June

Today the steel work is been putting back in place

An interesting question, if I may? What colour should the solebars and headstocks be when these carriages were in LNER ownership? 

 

Regards,

 

Tony.

Isn’t 25mm scale roughly right for 00? I don’t quite understand how wargaming scales work but aren’t they based on the height of a figure or something? Obviously they’re not mm/ft like model railways.

war game scaling is odd as the 25mm is eye height so if it was 4mm /00 the eyes would be at 6ft 3in high

The Iron Railway Bridge in Seven Sisters as most people will probably be aware was closed a number of years ago now due to health and safety reasons as most certainly correct as it was in a poor state, which started a battle for myself and the community of Seven Sisters at the time to save the bridge from being taken away permanently by Network Rail leaving us without access to various parts of the village.

At that time contrary to belief this Iron Bridge was not a registered Right of Way, as nobody had registered the bridge since it’s erection whenever that was I guess.

So with help from Kelvin Roberts who started a petition in the village and my own position at NPTCBC as Chairman of Regeneration and Sustainable Development where rights of ways were under, I started the legal process of registering this bridge as a right of way, but as that process takes time we put a stop to Network Rail removing the bridge at that time.

A legal battle could have ensued , however after I took it to my committee and they all agreed to register it as a ROW, Network Rail whilst could challenge this decision decided not to, so it became an official ROW which meant they were obliged to restore the bridge to a useable standard.

Then my job became a little difficult as Coronavirus held up any progress from Network Rail, also they have a work load of projects and ours was not top of their agenda unfortunately, so as Network Rail operate it’s taken until now to finally get contractors on site.

So the structure that has been taken away will be repaired, renewed at their appropriate site , the remaining structure is my understanding will be dealt with on site as to restore , when all done on site, and wherever they doing the main structure work, everything will be brought back, rebuilt on site, and then once more reopened to the general public as this bridge in my opinion is a really important not just historical value as who we are here in Seven Sisters, but a practical route for so many people who need this for their every day lives.

Really looking forward to the day it’s reopened now if I’m honest.

The planning for Scaleforum 2023 is well advanced...

The layout list is finalised, and the list of demonstrations and traders is being compiled.   We'll be bringing more details of those nearer the date, along with tasters of many of the exceptional finescale layouts that will be on show for the weekend.

 

As the first "reveal", here's a shot of of a prize-winning layout that will be present.  It's of "Sandford and Banwell", an exquisite slice of GWR 1930s modelling based on a prototype on the sadly lost Strawberry Line in Somerset.

 

Hope to see you at the exhibition to join us in admiring it!   More details of the show are on the Shows page at www.scalefour.org

 

are you sending traders any flyers for the show

some DCC controllers switch off DC in the chip so may need a reset the chip

There was a wide range of Markits fittings, wheels etc., on stand 43A, H&A Models, if I've remembered the right stand correctly.
 I was able to buy some Markits fittings I needed from there, there where other suppliers ranges available too....

I wasn't complaining about box shifters, just observing. It's only really reflecting the demographic of those attending the show-kit building isn't for everyone. I'm only really starting to dip my toe in. It would have been nice to have Wizard, Markits or Alan Gibson there as well, but they do have an internet presence, and are responsive to phone or email enquiries.

247 had lots of Markits parts on the stand
