Or standing on the platform as an open door comes towards them!

I'm toying with the idea of calling my putative model layout of Lawrence Mass 'Immigrant City'

I’m curious, I assume it’s standard design steam loco with a round boiler, rather than something strange like a Sentinal or a tram engine? If so I’m not sure how you get the chimney upside down!

Don't forget the bell!

I quite like the look with the end platforms.

Nowadays, having lived in Chesterfield and working in Sheffield for 20ish years, seeing an electric train is a novelty. I was recently at Doncaster and having trains in the platform and still being able to hear the announcements was a shock

hmm, latticework

How dare, you. Discworld is very real* *in many people's heads

What about models of railways in places that never had them, or places that never actually existed?

One thing not mentioned is that its quite interesting to see models of British railways, but built by foreigners. It can go both ways, producing an idealised UK, or noticing the things we miss even though we see them every day.

Thanks all. Apologies for the complete mess of the spelling in the OP. I posted it, noticed I’d made a complete hash of it, pressed edit and RMWeb went offline

I recently bought a loco from a US manufacturer who I'll not name as it isn't relevant. I paid £54 in VAT and fee to recieve it. However it seems that there is some sort of DCC chip/motherboard/wiring/motor issue. They have siad t send it back to them to fix. What is the situation with VAT etc when it is sent back to me? I shouldn't have to pay it again (and thus there should be no fees for processing it), but how should the parcel be marked?

You mean large posteriors won't fit through the hatch?
