.......and then, of course, with Hell on Wheels Halloween coming soon, there's this.... (you can tell I must be old!) https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=Youtube+-+close+the+door%2c+they%27re+coming+in+the+windows&view=detail&mid=73090DE68B7026043D2073090DE68B7026043D20&FORM=VIRE

Perhaps the reason I live in a bungalow!

Julian obviously hasn't taken in the fact that ALL Model layouts are Fantasy - even his UK ones and above all , his "Yard 6" (which I love). They ALL require a suspension of disbelief! ......and just to add to the confusion, and probably his displeasure (since this is a "trains" thread)- I found this on FB this morning in the 1:87 vehicles thread

I'll go and have a look in the model shop - thanks

.....but does anyone know the nearest Tamiya Matt colour to Atlas SF war-bonnet yellow/gold - XF3 -is too light/Bright

Glad to be of help!

Nah - biggest problem is .............drop bears! They get more tourists.......

Oddly we had a post come in on Groups.io yesterday that might JUST help with your problem Take a look at https://groups.io/g/small-layout-design/topic/standardized_legs_for/26851186?p=,,,20,0,0,0::recentpostdate%2Fsticky,,,20,2,0,26851186 HIH If it won't let you see it - come back to me and I'll email it to you

Malawarebytes Premium is what is reporting it! - but will do Edit - 11.57 Scan complete - nothing found - but glad that there isn't a hacking problem

Speaking of narrow Highlands roads, I may have already mentioned driving in a LWB Landrover in winter from Tain, up to Durness, and coming around a corner, some long way north of Lairg, to discover (the hard way) that the road was completely covered in sheet ice - I got the Landrover sideways on without touching the grass bank on each side of the road - although that didn't apply to getting The darn thing facing the right way again! Trees and a power winch are wonderful accessories!

Not at all sure why - but this morning I have had Notices come up 3 times saying "website blocked due to adware" - have we been hacked - just a general warning - I shall pass this on to the Mod team Edit - 0906 another pop up saying the same thing

I'll take the fifth! I refuse to answer on the grounds of self incrimination - SWMBO might look in! But I'm NOT awfully keen on Starbucks!

Did you order the six-stud LEGO blocks too? If not, see http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/138025-tbh-i-dont-do-dcc-but-this-may-be-useful-to-sound-people/

If you think that Starbucks coffee is expensive, see what "Victorias Secret" charge per cup!

For those who haven't seen it - I came across this today. Although it is called an "app" it is more a program to adjust your switching operating times and may very well be of interest. I shall be interested to see your comments. Have fun! http://conrail1285.com/traincrew-operate-more-than-your-throttle/

My lady got one of those - What a load of CRAP! Bin - fodder! What a shame they didn't include a business reply envelope - they would have got it right back!

I (We) just switched this morning to a new RBS account that pays 1.5% ( Big Deal!) Woo Hoo!

Borrowed from Facebook

...and now even the Journalists appear to be incapable of communicating in English!!! Education quality is deteriorating rapidly!!!

For OO/HO I wonder about square section guttering down pipe, but they will need plugs at the ends - stack them on a length of material with rope handles (I can't think what it is called - but gardeners use them to carry branches etc - perhaps called a "trug"?) and pick up as a block and carry them. A possibility for N Gauge may be plastic plumbing pipe - again the ends will need plugging

For Chrisf - depending on the amount you want ( or are prepared) to pay, Witch-Hazel seems to be freely available on Ebay

A newlywed couple had only been married for two weeks. The husband, although very much in love, couldn't wait to go out on the town and party with his old buddies. So, he said to his new wife, 'Honey, I'll be right back.' 'Where are you going, coochy cooh?' asked the wife. 'I'm going to the bar, pretty face. I'm going to have a beer.' The wife said, 'You want a beer, my love?' She opened the door to the refrigerator and showed him 25 different kinds of beer brands from 12 different countries: Germany, Holland, Japan, India, etc. The husband didn't know what to do, and the only thing that he could think of saying was, 'Yes, lolly pop...but at the bar...you know...they have frozen glasses...' He didn't get to finish the sentence, because the wife interrupted him by saying, 'You want a frozen glass, puppy face?' She took a huge beer mug out of the freezer, so frozen that she was getting chills just holding it. The husband, looking a bit pale, said, 'Yes, tootsie roll, but at the Bar they have those hors d'oeuvres that are really delicious... I won't be long, I'll be right back. I promise. OK?' You want hors d'oeuvres, poochi pooh?' She opened the oven and took out 5 dishes of different hors d'oeuvres: chicken wings, pigs in blankets, mushroom caps, pork strips, etc. 'But my sweet honey... At the bar... You know...there's swearing, dirty words and all that...' 'You want dirty words, D * ckhead? Drink your f***ing beer in your frozen mug and eat your motherf***ing snacks, because you are Married now, and you aren't f***ing going anywhere! Got it, A ** hole?' ........and, they lived happily ever after. Now, isn't that a sweet story?

Ding- bloody-dongg-g-g-g-g! or is it " The Bells!-The bells !"

What a truly superb bit of modelling!
