A friend of mine does the similar, he is retired but spends all day down the factory/shed he owns doing car and other work then home around 6pm just as normal. The factory has full facilities, TV, internet, bathrooms and kitchen even a fancy living room and pool table. Of course there are the standard fittings like tools. hoist, forklift, welding and painting gear...

Oh that's a right pain especially if you don't like endless filing to reduce body and chassis. I managed to file and shape a kato mikado to fit in a minitrix decapod body to create a passable l1but what a chore to make it fit. -

IIRC the langley N gauge kit used an Atlas chassis so finding something appropriate shouldn't be a problem -

I remember a prediction about electricity being so cheap it wouldn't be worth the hassle of a meter, that was from the 50s with the start of the nuclear age so can't see super cheap power anytime soon..

Reckon it is a joke, something from April 1, see this in the article "During the Melbourne International Comedy Festival (opening this week), TAC lollipop people and crossing chaperones will patrol the CBD streets to ensure pedestrian safety. " Well you can only hope it is a joke like the mary poppins walk signals -
The SD1 line had that problem at the plant and there were similar hassles with Jaguar at the time of the Series 3. At one stage they could only do 3 colours due to problems.

IIRC it was to do with a trade deal with the Soviet Union around 1977. They sent over a load of steel in exchange for, well dunno, Levi Jeans and Doobie Brothers albums and sent in return steel with way too many impurities from poor manufacturing. So not just BL had the problem of 1:1 scale Mazak rot but also the Italians and the French. That's why so many Alfa Suds disappeared too.
