I agree with much of what Steven says despite maybe being one of the most flippant members. I don't know much technical stuff so tend to sit back and learn rather than proffer incorrect advice. It has to be remembered, though, we have just over 10,000 members and, to state the obvious, we are all different. OK, it's only a very small hard core who post regularly and I'd suggest if an OP doesn't understand the reply they get in touch with that responder via PM to avoid being further confused.
The nearest I've come to this happy community is the Kawasaki Owners forum but the Qashqai one is not good at all

I agree, but at least it's not as bad as car forums where they draw blood and threaten to off their dog.

I tried watching this last night with the sound off as SWMBO was watching telly. Some interesting auto-generated caption!
All very interesting to see what is considered modern, but I think the prices are getting too high for me.
I hope this will encourage more under 50s modellers to join our hobby.
Cheers

Quote from: Carmont on Yesterday at 02:01:49 PMI understand that the yellow triangle on the 24.5Ts was to enable easy identification between them and the lower capacity 21Ts.

Does anyone have a date in respect of when the triangle started to be applied?

Trying to find that myself: Without indicator They come onto the rails early 50's ( Era 4) - Farish lists the yellow triangles as 'Era 5' =  post 1956, AI suggests 1959 but not surprised if it wasnt earlier as the the new wagons were soon found not to fit under a lot of existing colliery loaders that the old 21 tonners would, and later auto loading the same as 21t would have defeated the object of the higher cap - so marking them up would have been important... Suggests to me that these wagons would have tended to be marshalled together , rather than just allowed to mix willy-nilly with 21 and 16t opens

I need to vent.

I like this forum. I do, I spend a good bit of time here. It's a nice community and shows some terrific modelling.

It may be the hot weather we've been having, but...

Why when a new model is announced is it swiftly followed by twice as many negative comments as positive ones? - even when many of the comments apply to existing versions of the same model.

Then there's the comments along the lines of "I won't be buying one - wrong colour/wrong era/wrong number/wrong newspaper on the drivers desk". Great, thanks for letting me know - that's added nothing to the discussion.

Bamboozlement - a number of times questions have been asked, detailed replies have resulted followed by the original question asker coming back with "Erm, thanks but I don't understand a word of what's been said". Often a reply is offered aimed more appropriately to the OPs knowledge level which is great. However, further advanced replies still are still made, which while correct will still be way over the head of the OP and only confuse further.

It's really easy to reply to threads. But pause. Think. Does what I'm about to say add anything useful? Will what I'm about to post confuse rather than clarify? If I'm posting something negative, does it really need to be said? If I do think it needs to be said, has someone already said it?
