    Has Kytes Lights, kytelights.com ceased trading? Website and email to Kytes not accessible or working. Checked with site down checker.

      There is a thread in the Small Suppliers section here. It seems that their premises were flooded at the end of July, so presumably that has affected the business.

    I wish there was a "Good Point" button for when someone has made a good point but I don't "Agree" with it

    Where did 'smokebox dart' come from? Aren't they just smokebox door handles so why not just call them what they are?

    1. 2mm Andy

      2mm Andy

      Isn't the 'dart' the bit inside the smokebox that locks the door shut?

    is confused why snowdon ranger isn't on the WHR timetable but, from what I can tell, it is a station?

    1. 2mm Andy

      2mm Andy

      It's a request halt. It's mentioned on the WHR website below the timetable.

      Yes, that makes sense as they were all heading North. Shame I've got other things on - would have liked to have gone.

    Reading 'Britain's New Railway' (1966). You can tell it is 1966 because Mr.Nock refers to problems and not challenges ;-)

      Hunsbury used to be my local preserved line. How is the 4DD looking these days?

      Very sad news, although not totally unexpected. His enthusiasm and energy for everything he did in 2mm and N will be remembered for a long time. Condolences to Paula and his family.

      well yes Boris, the trains were a bit of a mess (failed black 5, 1hr delay then diesel with no steam heat, etc.), but the weather was good and we still enjoyed ourselves!
