Well it looks like a couple of the most notorious "gotta post something even if it's irrelevant/wrong/adds nothing useful, just to run up my post-count" contributors are MIA - that accounts for a 50% reduction straight away... (not that I'm complaining...)

Quote from: Hightower on April 24, 2026, 11:14:22 PMNot sure what they are, but the tank containers that always seem to be at the back of the Inverness Tesco train, seen here:

https://youtu.be/FMoMw_v3ZEk?si=0xfoIGYRYyIbfrg-

I note the first tank carries the code "T501 SGIU 000501.8 42KW". The "T501" isn't part of the ISO 6346 system. The meaning is likely internal to the owner.

The rest conforms to the ISO 6346 system:
| Marking | Meaning | What it tells us
| SGIU | Owner prefix | Who owns the tank = Stolt Tank Containers
| 000501.8 | Serial + check digit | Unique ID
| 42KW | ISO tank type | Pressure rating, fittings, insulation

The second tank carries the code "T000913 SGIU 000913.7 42T7". Which confirms the same owner.

Hi all,

I've looked at these recently.

The tanks are for LNG - several designs seen already.

Now trying to work out which are the more common types - then work out how to model them.

I'm here.
As Mike @maridunian says, the good weather means gardening, allotment, more walks on the sea wall and so on.

It'll pick up again when the rain returns

We're getting into the holiday period now. The winter is certainly a much more modelling-intensive period for me than the summer.

Not unless you submitted a sick note, George!

I've been in hospital for six weeks, that count?

It's all gorne quiet again...

I've never known an occasion where the 'latest posts' list still includes one from two days ago, as it was when I switched on this morning. I know the news from the rest of the world is a bit depressing at the moment, but we can't all be hiding under our duvets, can we? I can see I am going to have to post about another calamity (I must be due one soon) to give everyone something to laugh about.

Cheers,

Chris

OCL blue is still my #1 choice, but Railfreight red/yellow as a 20' box would be nice too:

I can't see the video as it is showing up as video unavailable, but if it is Whitesnake, I like their stuff, especially their Tawny videos.

I missed them first time around but a little while ago a friend lent me a DVD of a live concert by Whitesnake recorded in 2004. It had a bonus CD with it which I copied and played to death!

Mick @Newportnobby you might like this... Deep Purple of course...


I think that is Animal from the Muppets on drums...

"Ain't No Love" is worth a listen.
