      Apart fom the needless vandalism on the Jag, I thought it as good a piece of telly as I've seen recently.

    4. Captain Kernow

      Captain Kernow

      Yes, but that must have been carefully managed and agreed with the owner of the Jag, surely?....

      Any minor issue in the SE England is treated as a major disaster by the media whilst the rest of the country just gets on with it!

      Most of my class 76s run on Lima motors, minimal maintenance required go for ever, some must be getting on for 100 miles by now, then there's 3 days at Quorn GCR to look forward to!

      I was told back in the 1980s that Lima models for the European market (excepting GB)did not use the pancake motor but something else better engineered. I never did find anyone who could verify that. There was that beauty of a pancake motor that Fleischmann fitted - wow!

    what is the "reputation" thing all about anyway

    1. halfwit

      halfwit

      Little green '+' button bottom right of each post. When pressed increases posters rep. by one. Used to say 'thank you', 'thats usefull', 'thats good', 'I agree', 'thats funny' etc. Added as a way of thanking someone without clogging up a thread with 'me too' posts.

    2. sir douglas

      sir douglas

      does that also increase the "reputation" bar in my profile page?

      It hasn't 'gone' anywhere. If you mean "How do I find it?" try the new drop down menus under Content.
