Reference the commuting into London, I was a bit worried last night when I heard on the news that an MP is calling for all inner London transport to come under TFL

Totally surprised, train was on time and somewhere to sit. Commiserations to any one having travel problems. I read about the letter to Southern and not surprised by their reply unfortunately

Morning all. Congratulations Railsquid. A chilly -2 here but at least there isn't a gale blowing as well. The Southern website is showing no problems (apart from LBG). Have a good day everyone and please be safe out there with all the idiots around

Evening Jeff. From experience, take the number of sockets that you think you want and double it. It's amazing how quickly they become used especially with things like kettles etc

Yes, site induction

With a charged battery for the camera, can we have photos of the track laying gang at work as well

Evening Rob. 785 is actually on the roster for HA

Evening Clive I've considered using it but I find that I prefer to take photos of several similar buildings and work from there. At least then I can get the views that suit me and any other information I want.

How about the round cardboard postal tubes

There was a song about that. Oooops, sorry, that was a chain gang :jester:

I'm shocked and stunned. The train's on time and somewhere to sit. Hope everyone else has a good journey this morning

Morning all. The temperature has climbed to just above zero here but at least there is no wind or rain. The trains are reported to be behaving themselves but will find out what the reality is in a while.

So am I. I'm going to decide this week whether I'm going to do some internal detailing as well. Although, if I do it might mean that I'll need some appropriate figures as well.

Your certainly getting there Jeff. You might want to shut the door and put a heater on tomorrow even if you are working hard. I've just seen the forcast

Very nice Andy. But, what was the noisy box at the end? :jester:

Evening Chris I've looked at many buildings on a number of threads and couldn't see how they would have worked in real life. This is one lesson that I should have got to grips with ages ago as I spend half my life using various building plans. At least now things should start to work unless I make a mistake in planning. The pub for HA will start to take shape next weekend due to very early starts and late finishes during the week

Not done a great deal today, just a few household chores and absolutely no modelling has been achieved. Having trawled through the "Anything you can do" thread over the holiday period, I have realised exactly where I've been going wrong with my buildings. Up until now, I've been doing rough drawings, estimating size and position and not looking how the building would be laid out internally. So, I've started doing proper drawings to make sure that everything works as it should and not waste my time and more importantly expensive materials when it goes wrong. I spent a bit of time as well as a few sheets of paper designing the pub for HA. I have no problems with admitting that I have used Allan Downes Railway Hotel as a starting point. At present, I haven't shown the window detail and I also need to decide on whether it will be brick, stone or whitewashed finish. Only two elevations are shown as the other side elevation will have no windows or doors and the back will be a virtual copy of the front apart from having a single door closer to the right window.

So, where's the photo?

Morning all. Late on parade today as I decided to stay in bed a bit longer than planned. Was very icy last night but is now overcast and chilly. A relaxing day is on the cards with a couple of minor household chores.

I'm worried for the goat

A very nice fleet. Are those wagons carrying grass or is it my eyes playing up?

It's a special course for doctors, nurses and chemists although most of the ones that I know in these professions had really bad handwriting before they embarked on their careers

Morning all. Bit late today after being kept awake by foxes fighting last night. Dry, pleasant and no wind here. Train was on time today but I'm sure that cattle get to travel with more dignity than most of us that have to use the train to get to work

Another thought on the lighting. Go with the tubes and, although expensive to buy, put in LED replacement tubes. They last a great deal lot longer than conventional ones, provide a better quality of light and not one of your criteria, cost virtually nothing to run.

As I managed to look in a bit too late, you beat me to it :jester:
