On the subject of settings on Google Maps, how do you change the frequency of direction advice on your route? To explain that further, I drive along a main highway for part of a regular journey, say 10km. GM used to be silent for most of the 10km and only give voice directions, when a change was coming up - at say a roundabout. Now for exactly the same journey, I get about 4 instructions to keep going straight, the only turns are for lightly used local roads. Is there any way of turning these unnecessary instructions off, and just have the important one, such as the roundabout?

Exactly my point - she was looking for something not there! 😇

No, he's put a down payment on a used car! It even looks like he is travelling on a railway platform - except missing those poor vision strips, along the edge.

No, that was the easy part, it took her longer to download, all your login details and banking passwords! 😱

Can't be much fun for anyone to have squatters take over!

I don't know much about it, but 100% it's nothing to do with AC electrics as the trains run off 1500 volts DC.

I find it very awkward to change transport modes. Should be easy, but it isn't.

Someone has asked as to the function of this, I suspect it is a sensor to detect a train. Any clues as to it's proper function?

No, it could be sold in Australia as a memorial to it's tour here!

That's BS. I find the containers OK, but can't find a lid to suit. Of course if I throw the container out, the lid pops out from hiding, leaving me with a lid, with nothing to put it on!

Strictly speaking, any building isn't to 'N Gauge', because that term defines the track. Buildings are to 2mm scale, surely?

Not good enough!!!!!

1/ Use a very short small wire as an extension - better than straining any small terminal. 2/ Doesn't that make them suitable for BR steam era?

Darn, doesn't post to Australia! Maybe I could just save his photos and build one using them? All I need is the kit and an interest in N gauge!

Sent on the next away mission and first contact with the revelant alien - co-incidence of course!

But comes with scratch marks, resembling those from wheels on one car!

The Kadee coupling additions have to be worth something. Whether 14 pounds worth is another matter!

There was an Australian send up of a detective show, where the lead character was Hugh Jarce.

Cherry Ripes in Australia, some sad news. They aren't being withdrawn, but the bar size is getting smaller. At Woolworths (a supermarket in Oz) I saw some today on special for $1.25 (discounted from $1.50, I think). But also some were on clearance for $1.00 - so what's going on I thought? On closer inspection the $1.25 ones are 47g and the $1.00 ones are 52g. So the new ones are 5g SMALLER! What crooks, a sad way to celebrate the centenary of the Cherry Ripe! https://australianfoodtimeline.com.au/cherry-ripe-bar/

Whereas the warehouse ought to have advised the real owner Dapol, and asked what they wanted done with them. Possible answers are yes, (Dapol) we will pay a certain price for them. Or two, destroy them. I'm sure Dapol didn't tell them to sell them out of the back door!

2 things 1/ Why would their archives on buying a franchise from the government, have anything from before 1/1/1948? Especially something written off (an obscure wagon at that) from pre-WW2. 2/ They must of had a good reason for their choice of trading name. Somewhere inbetween, lies the truth!

You misquoted me earlier. I was asking how you know that Dapol couldn't tell the difference. What makes you say that Dapol can't tell the difference? Surely anyone getting a product made, would be able to tell if not one of their genuine ones? I certainly wouldn't rely on eBay complaints procedure, it only seems to work if goods arrive broken or not at all. If fakes die after 3 months, what is eBay going to do?

But it is a theory, something has happened at the factory and presumably Dapol, won't be dealing with them any more. Probably they don't care anyway. Plently of other western companies wanting plastic goods made at a cheap price. Later they will find out like Dapol, that there is a sting in the tail - expect your trading name to be undermined.

Where did I say that your theory is wrong? I asked how did you know that they were from the same production line? I've previously suggested that if extra models are made, the quality is likely to drop. Fact is we don't know for sure and endless speculation is the result. Remember, you claimed it was all excess production, not me.

I did read what he said and the two of you are making assumptions, about how these fakes were made. Just making it up as you go along! Unless you have specific knowledge.
