    Well i do think this about Göring, despite his faults he was a true railway modeller, after all he had a fab country house, estate, and where does he build his railway, in the attic or later the basement.

    Just picked up a GBL ivatt 2mt. Decided it will go nicely with a Hornby ivatt chassis to create a margate tank version of their ivatt mogul. Still have one spare mogul left for another k3 conversion but might try a cut down triang std 3 chassis instead if i can find a good one as. I have become attached to these Hornby ivatts for some odd reason.

    Yum, lambs with inbuilt mint sauce, saves on adding it later.

    Just picked up a lovely BR Maroon Triang princess for £20 plus postage, looked presentable in the pictures but arrived properly boxed with original packing rings and almost mint except for minor paint loss on the chimney. Goes well with the even cheaper Hornby B12 that was described as modified/damaged but instead was weighted, repainted (very well) and detailed.

    Did it get decked?

    Interesting, a poster at my old work promoting ASD Awareness provided examples of symptons, one of which was obsessive levels of interests and used he example of trains.

      You either need to paint the front yellow or fit high-intensity headlights

    I don't know, the Porridge spin off movie holds up well with the series. Back to Worst Movies - managed to half watch Batman and Robin, a deeply horrible experience, proving that a huge budget, big hollywood stars and a proven concept can be oh so terrible - George Clooney still apologies to fans for it.

    Bad movies? We have missed the Kevin Costner section, The Postman, Waterworld, that version he did of Robin Hood but my vote for the worst movie that was not an intentional B Grader like Plan 9 or Attack of the 100 foot woman is the John Travolta classic: Battlefield Earth

    Better still, put a very big engine in the first one, then just have trailers with cargo behind

    If the UK is anything like here, I bet the allowance rates have not been increased for years despite every thing else going up. Also a jobseeker, but due to our system still not getting any money, round here you have to be almost destitute before they even think about giving you any and when you are over 45, live outside the city the number of difficulties soon add up

    Great railroad the Strasbourg, but can they make the eyes move?

    The Z van does make a nice looking model, I am tempted to hunt some down to run with 00 stock. Nothing yet re CMRC

    Been watching all the James Bond movies since Friday. Railway continuity is just awful on From Russia with Love

      FRWL is one of my favorite Bond films but the train sequences are awful.

      Nearly got thrown out of a pub quiz for answering the question "How many James Bond films are there?" with the answer "Too many"

      Things could have been worse - you could have been watching The Cassandra Crossing.

    That GEM flexitrack is an excellent find, it is comparable enough with PECO but has the advantage that it will accommodate the deeper flanges on some locos. Flange depth increased with the open spoke wheels particularly on the Brit, On the first TT layout I had, it still had GEM track from 1970 which worked just fine. Also it gives a decent period look to the layout.

    The VR sets were produced 1977-78, along with the pseudo B class there was the more slightly more accurate co-co S class, re branded UK wagons but a quite nice Z van in either maroon or orange. The S was also produced in red and silver Commonwealth railways colours with stainless coaches.

    I had wondered about those triang wagons with peco under frames, and yes they are way to light but the cattle wagon does look the part.
