    So it's YOU that stole it! 😱

    The Nissen Hut and it's later variant, ought to make it easy.

    But those prolonged efforts, can be taken too far as per DCB. Besides not everything can be 're-used, repaired or repurposed'. My wife generates a fair bit of medical waste. Without being rude, what else ought I do with it, other than the rubbish bin?

    Please, please don't go down the path of our old sign was deliberately wrong! It wasn't. Other than that I agree fully with your post.

    I remember reading about the sound fitted ones, but not the smoke. Never had any. Sounds like a good explanation for the OP.

    Yes, he made a similar comment the other day, I think it was for a Mainline chassis with dodgy wheels. I often wonder if you have rubbish bins the UK! Perhaps we should see if we can work out his username?

    So for years we had a sign that was wrong and we asked the signwriter to make a new version, with the same mistake (because it was made based a photograph, taken by the signwriter) according to you lot. That how I read your comment Not Jeremy and yet everyone here, thinks we didn't notice it all this time - at least 20 years. The simpler and correct explanation, is that he stuffed up by incorrectly typing from his photograph. Thanks so much.

    LoL. Before I did PAT testing, at work one of the guys got talked into doing the course. Soon after he had to test all our tools. We all ended up with new soldering irons, because he couldn't test the Earth on our double insulated irons. It didn't occur to him that they all tested the same!

    I wrote in part. Apparently, he'd taken a photo of our old sign to use as a master, so his problem not ours Does that not imply that the signwriter made the mistake? We didn't give him the wrong info.
  11. kevinlms
    Matches the thread title then, as your mistake, not mine.

    You've misunderstood the purpose of PAT, it's a safety test, not a test to see if it functions. Also the cover doesn't come off. No fuses in Australian electrical plugs.
  13. kevinlms
    No I didn't! What's happening?
  14. kevinlms
    You can add to that, any business hiring out electrical equipment, which MUST be tested before each hire - at least that's the case in Australia, and I would expect the UK too. Many charity shops won't accept electrical goods, because of PAT requirements. Not worth their while, unless they have access to a tame tester.

    The 'Guard' lettering was removed I believe from under the former guard door in the power car. Presumably the lettering 'Guard' reappeared on the door in the TGS.
  16. kevinlms
    Urgh? Where did I say our old sign was spelt wrong? He took a photo of our old correctly spelt sign, yet got it wrong.

    My miniature railway club received a new sign today. Several people had looked at it without comment and I thought that there was something wrong with it. Sure enough, in big letters it says MINITURE, so back to the sign writer it goes. Apparently, he'd taken a photo of our old sign to use as a master, so his problem not ours, because we hadn't approved a proof.

    Yes, I knew there was such a tunnel, but couldn't remember the details.
  19. kevinlms
    I was thinking of a former tunnel on the Midland, but couldn't remember anything about it.
  20. kevinlms
    That was my thought.
  21. kevinlms
    It seems to be the opposite view of this one. https://www.warwickshirerailways.com/lms/mrknpreg291.htm

    Yet most railway companies, the LNWR being an excellent example, liked to number locos, wagons etc, with the lowest number they had sitting on the shelf from retired vehicles. That way they could tell how many locos they had in the fleet, by looking at the highest number and subtracting any lower number plates, sitting on the shelf. Did most companies with cast plates, use this method?

    I did wonder if it was a late entry for 1st April (giving time for the article to be translated), but apparently it is true!
  24. kevinlms
    And seen on trade road vehicles today. But perhaps they are also numbering their vehicles since they started the business decades ago and have only owned one vehicle at a time. Or else they issue invoices, with say 6 digit numbers, when they have only been in business a few months.
  25. kevinlms
    Perhaps you're right. But in those days wagons were hand painted and lettered by the builders. Could one wagon have been incorrectly spelt and missed? Then for a joke Replica made of model of that? Update OK just checked, there is a photo in P.O. wagons of GRC&WC ltd of that exact wagon (50) and Replica have made the mistake. One things for sure, if a wagon I wanted a model of HAD included such a mistake, I would be sure to acquire one, along with a photo, so I could prove I was right!
