I've comprehensively melted the right side of my GF B1 with a soldering iron. Luckily the chassis is relatively unharmed and the thing still runs.

So I'm looking at buying a suitable body of a 4-6-0 and rebuilding the tender side with plastic card.

Any suggestions for a suitable body?

I don't/can't go to the cinema any more as the sound is so loud it pounds through my chest and is most uncomfortable.
This is a great shame as Dan Brown's 'Inferno' is out starring Tom Hanks. Having visited at least 2 of the locations where it was filmed I could follow the book and sort of 'know where I was'
The book itself is an incredibly good read with very disturbing undertones. I guess I'll just have to wait for the DVD

I have the opposite problem I can hardly hear stuff on the TV, it is either too quiet or too loud when the adverts come on.

I'm with Chris! Not keen on Dan Brown, though. Started " The Davinci Code" but gave up halfway through. I thought it was a decent story badly written and haven't touched one of his books since.

Sympathies, Mick.

I'm sure that cinema sound has got a lot louder since most if not all have gone over to digital kit.

With the TV, we've find the sound level is all over the place with the ads booming out if we're not fast enough to the mute button. Best action is to record and watch later so you can speed through the ads.

Other times I need the sub titles on to follow what's going on with all the mumbling and/or rapid dialogue.

Grief! I'm getting old and don't like it one bit.    Good job I'll have forgotten all this by tomorrow!

Me too. Especially the pre-feature ads which for some unearthly reason are at double volume, or so it seems.

I guess that as Medics suggest younger generations are damaging their hearing listening to music too loudly on their ever-present earphones or in cars or when out 'clubbing' (the latter sounds positively Neanderthal), and it's these same generations that provide most of the audiences at the cinemas, then the proprietors maybe think they need especially loud soundtracks to get the dialogue and diatribe across.

Who knows?

I had the same situation at the last concert I went to - Paul Rodgers at Wolverhampton.
The main set was wonderful as you could hear everything so clearly, but for the encore(s) I'm sure the sound engineer just punched the volume up to setting 11 and went for a drink. The waves of noise just made me leave.

So it was you that caused confusion by getting up in the middle of the row in front of me!!

Sir, that is really unfortunate, sorry about that I really am.

However I would be lying if I said I didn't just snigger.....
