    That must have been it. The grey bit was behind a fence. Maybe I should have said proper nameplates rather than names and one name per set. Names such as James Nighthall G C were entirely appropriate - and done properly. Geoff Endacott

    These things seem to be getting random stickers. First it was teddy bears, then rainbows and I think I saw one yesterday with red flowers behind each door and an indecipherable name. (I was along way away.) What ever happened to proper names? Geoff Endacott

    I bet it didn't sound as good as leaving Swindon behind a Western. Geoff Endacott

    We don't plan to have any NBLs on the layout, which is just as well given that Dapol haven't produced one yet. Geoff Endacott

    The next question is, what passenger stock do we need? The model is going to be set circa 1960. Photos show a lot of MkI stock in both blood & custard and maroon. What I don't know is the mix of pre-Nationalisation stock that would still have been around then. I'm afraid I don't know much about this era. Would there have been many Thompson and Gresley coaches about? And if so, what models are available? With thanks. Geoff Endacott

    The layout is now taking shape: Geoff Endacott

    Yes - there are two groups of people with incompatible operating systems. Geoff Endacott

    The last time I collected an item with insufficient postage it turned out to be a bundle of leaflets from another model railway club with a request to put them out at our next show! Geoff Endacott

    An HST in Bath as well. Their picture editor must have decided that it's a train so that will do. Geoff Endacott

    It will be the last Calne Show unless someone comes forward to organise the next one. Geoff Endacott

    They would have to be one in front of the other rather than side by side. With one being OO and the other N that would give the correct sense of perspective. Geoff Endacott

    Judging by what has happened to the self-adhesive road markings on Gladstone Road, don't use them. They don't stay adhered to the layout for very long. Geoff Endacott

    Is that what they use to stop people getting off at the wrong station? Geoff Endacott

    What do they do with the incompetent members of staff? Geoff Endacott

    When I use a word it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less. Geoff Endacott via Lewis Carroll

    I wonder when the eight-car sets are going to be introduced? They must be planned because that's what's shown in the GWR Famous Five cartoons for their sponsorship of the ITV West weather forecast. Geoff Endacott

    They saw you coming! Geoff Endacott

    Have I missed it? Geoff Endacott

    No, he was sweating profusely though. Geoff Endacott

    The windows need an etch. At least the detailing part manufacturers will still have something to do. Geoff Endacott

    Now that electrification is to stop short of Chippenham, Great Western must have a lot of spare electricity in the station. They have now installed an electric heater next to the ticket barriers - on the platform - outside! And I thought the new developments were supposed to reduce global warming, not increase it. Geoff Endacott

    Oui. Geoff Endacott

    Maybe the rainbow train can only couple to other Class 800s whereas the non-rainbow ones prefer to couple to Class 802s. Geoff Endacott
