Interesting. Noticed that too with Minitrix Ivatt!

N Gauge Discussion / Re: 2% Grade Test Day

I've not had trouble with 3% grades except with very draggy wagons, stuff that was overweight (eg the Dapol tesco train), or very light locos. Mostly things that could be addressed with some weights or adjustment of whatever caused the drag.

Steam is also much less of a problem because you can bank or double head stuff up any reasonable grade without worrying about rule 1, whereas diesel banking was much less common.

Or just run old Minitrix ones. They go round 7" curves and up and down grades fine except for the ivatt  :D

With the women's T20 world cup on and regular mountain bike racing called world cups perhaps the title needs changing to the FIFA Mens World Cup 2026 :D

With time difference, I may watch some of the 8pm kick offs. I don't know why but very much lost enjoyment of football in past few years, probably due to the lack of "clear and obvious" use of VAR rather use for any possible miniscule decision.

It will be interesting to see with more countries competing what effect that has, noting now double the number from 1990.

The original thread was started as an anti-WC moan, and very much continued in that vein. All very British: to start a conversation on a non-football forum, simply to inform the World that "I have no interest in this WC". Was a different outcome expected by the OP?

Personally I found it very entertaining — on par with the finest traditional pantomime.

How does real life US firefighting compare to what we see in the likes of Station 19 and Chicago Fire?

Don't worry, the Tour de France starts soon and we'll have Mick @Newportnobby slobbering all over the place  ;)

Thank you for starting a new thread George @Bealman .

I asked for my original one to be locked as it was getting out of hand and moving well away from my original intention.

Perhaps we can now just concentrate on football on here.

Well done Scotland and Australia by the way.
I watched the first half of Qatar v Switzerland which was less than inspiring shall we say.
