  1. Over here with compulsory voting, being in hospital is no reason not to vote as they have special hospital booths for just such an occasion. One of the issues coming up with the last few elections here was the very large increase in pre-poll, absentee and postal votes, would appear that voting on the day is just too inconvenient for some.

  2. The right Bond for me, just as Tom Baker is the ultimate Dr Who.

     

    Octopussy was the first Bond film I saw when released, if seeing it on a 747 on the way to the UK counts. Good old BA, giving us the Best of British entertainment.

  3. Too true, but, unfortunately I have only seen one pair come up (since I resurrected my TT last September) and was outbid by quite a considerable amount.  That is what gave me the idea in the first place when I saw those although I think they were the slight angled fronts like the Tri-ang 00 version.  I would have still loved to have won them though.

    That is a pain in the rear, when they were for sale at 3SMR I always meant to buy a few pairs for later projects but never got around to it as they were pretty inexpensive then.

  4. Wagon wheels look very nice indeed. The single wheel method on Bachmann axle is very clever and saves the real problem of removing metal from the triang castings, the coach bogies need alot of metal removed. However for wagons it is a bit easier and the wheels pretty much drop in.

     

    My guess withe the blue grey is it was a period mod, who knows what excess new stock was selling for at the end of production, probably at giveaway prices.
