General Discussion / Re: what are you listening to ...Last post by kusojiji - Yesterday at 11:26:46 PMAt 10pm last night, I heard my phone screaming at me about an earthquake and then one big jolt to the house and that was it. Then at 4am this morning, I heard my phone screaming at me about the city being at emergency level 4 for the typhoon that was coming at us. A quaint symphony of screaming. Ah, nothing better... haha

General Discussion / Re: World Cup revisited.Last post by RailGooner - Yesterday at 09:06:09 PMQuote from: Southerngooner on Yesterday at 07:57:21 AMMy wife says I seem to have a knack of influencing games by turning on during a game, as invariably someone scores within a minute or two. Turned onto Ecuador last night as they were setting up a corner......just saying! I trust you've sorted your Sky Sports subscription for next season Mr Champion. #3
N Gauge Discussion / Re: What do they know?Last post by EtchedPixels - Yesterday at 08:37:41 PMQuote from: Crepello on Yesterday at 02:54:46 PMI'm hoping for an RTR model! Wizard for a while did built versions of their kits. They were not cheap though. I have a pair on my display shelf along with a 26000 and an EM2 I must finish some day. No idea what I could ever use them for though ![]() #4
N Gauge Discussion / Re: Class 22 Baby WarshipLast post by EtchedPixels - Yesterday at 08:32:58 PMBogie vans were used by preference for the milk train runs for the ride amongst other things as they ran fast. However the trip freights with a few from the dairies would generally have been down branches and probably not even able to run at high speed
Some nice examples at https://www.cornwallrailwaysociety.org.uk/the-hemyock-branch.html Once the regs were changed the milk trains would not have needed a separate brake as they were fully fitted so the guard was allowed to sit in the back cab of a two cab diesel instead. #5
General Discussion / Re: what are you listening to ...Last post by ntpntpntp - Yesterday at 08:30:49 PM@Stingray. I saw that episode of Later... Wasn't quite sure what to make of them in the silly outfits but the micro-tonal looped music was quite interesting.
I preferred Arlo Parks on that programme. I used to religiously watch every episode of Later... and have been in the audience a couple of times when it used to be recorded in Maidstone. Quite an experience, if a little tiring standing up for the entire evening. More recently I've looked at the acts scheduled and a lot of the time nothing grabs me as a "must watch". I probably should make more effort and catch more shows. #6
