It looks more like the YF23. Someone's bought an Airfix kit and made it bigger out of plywood! Design by committee, constant specification changes, client doesn't know what they want. It's got TSR2 written all over it.

The signal cabin is done in weatherboard, which looks similar to tongue and groove.

It's a very common scam - there has even been warning adverts on the TV about this. As Fat Controller has said there is no way you would be addressed as TU by this person even if you regarded them as a friend. There are certain Frenchmen of a certain age who would not even address their wives with tu - tu is reserved for the dog.

It has always been the case when public regulatory bodies are found to have been derelict in their enforcing duties their cry has always been "we need more powers". The classic example is the "Control of pollution Act - 1974". There is nothing in that act that was not already available in other acts or common law but the Environment Agency had been found out so to save loosing face you got the 1974 act. The present matter is just the same - failure to do their job properly impacts on innocent modellers.

Yes his income was lower than his outgoings - always a bummer that!

Gibson does a DMU wheel - 4009

It blackens the steel, as you would expect. You then clean the wheel tread back to steel, as per the prototype.

The Midland did it by having two frames with the forward frame riveted inside of the rear frame.

Well that may be so but it's not saying a lot. I've seen the results of procurement in the public sector done by so called "Procurement" people who know nothing of what they are buying. One procurement was for mobile phones. They ended up with a deal that was more expensive than an individual could have got from any high street phone shop. I'm afraid that public sector procurement departments are in it for an easy ride.

Grainge & Hodder do nice boards at reasonable cost.

ISO-Propyl alcohol works just fine.

When I can find a Sign-writers brush that can paint a 0.2mm wide line I'll use it. And a Rigger will be more blotchy than a pen.

That's because it should have said: "Do not cross whilst lights are flashing"

Rapid, R S Components, Farnell, CPC.

For DC operation the convention is right hand rail positive loco moves forward.

I would strongly recommend that you do not attempt to dismantle the motor. The wires inside are very carefully installed and the chances of getting them back as before is zero.

So that we are absolutely clear here do you mean it trips the MCB (indicating a hard short) or do you mean the RCD (which indicates an earth leakage).

Would you sell your house at the price you bought it at or would you sell it at the market price? I suspect I know the answer so why do you expect your model shop to act differently?

She was placed in the care of a neighbour. Why should you expect more of the railway who have a job to do.

There are two things being confused in this thread. 1 is data retention and 2 communication. Data can be retained under a number of categories. One of which is "consent" but the category most applicable to RMWeb (in my opinion) is "legitimate interest". I am a member of RMWeb and would expect as part of that membership for some necessary data to be held. RMWeb can legitimately communicate with me in relation to my membership of RMWeb. The other common category will be "Contract" where if I buy somthing I would expect the person selling to me to hold my data in relation to that contract. In neither of "Legitimate Interest" or "Contract" is my positive consent required. The second issue is communication, which for unsolicited marketing emails requires for the person/company to communicate in that way, with me, to hold my data with my positively given consent because holding data otherwise than "Consent" does not entitle the holder of my data to communicate other than in the restricted manner implied by the data category. Unsolicited marketing only falls under the "Consent" category. BRM may or may not be a "sister" organization to RMWeb but they do not hold my data with my consent as I have not given my consent and they cannot assume that data held by RMWeb under "Legitimate Interest" can be used by them to send unsolicited marketing emails. Indeed such practice is unlawful within the GDP regulations.

The GDPR requires my positive consent, it cannot because default.

If I have this correct then RMWeb has provided my data to a third party BRM. BRM has used that data to involve me in an unsolicited marketing campaign for which I have not given my explicit consent. I wonder what the data commissioner will have to say if they try this after 25 May.

And I believe the Oz restored mosquito has used epoxy impregnation of the plywood. If only that had been used originally we would have any number of flying aircraft now.

The glue developed for the Mosquito was Aerolite 360 and it's still used in the construction of wooden aircraft.

It always was in State ownership it's now also in State management.
