Quote from: njee20 on July 10, 2025, 11:18:49 PMIndeed, other way around! Certainly last week 006 still had ER insignia.

67006 is Royal Sovereign and 67005 is now King's Messenger.

From your posts you seem to have the two confused.

From DB Cargo Press Release..... "Livery changes for the two locomotives will include a change to the Royal Cypher and 67005 will be renamed to King's Messenger.

67006 will have a new Royal Cypher, but will keep its current name, Royal Sovereign."

Await and see,

GE

Quote from: Crepello on Yesterday at 08:59:34 PMI think West Hill Wagon Works still do them in OO. I did email them some time ago about an N version but can't recall their response. Perhaps it's worth another try if we all do it.
It doesn't look like they'll be around much longer - Companies House lists them as struck off as of last week and the company dissolved as of Tuesday 15th July.

Quote from: Newportnobby on Yesterday at 09:38:09 PMWe all differ so I'm not going to push it. I've just watched 2½hrs of Jethro Tull filmed in 2003 at Montreux and I know they're not everyone's cup of Bovril (I don't drink tea)
I'm glad I'm not the only one.
I don't drink tea either.

How very Un-English of us :)

Strangely, I'm not surprised :no:

Quote from: Bob G on Yesterday at 04:03:30 PMFinally, after a couple of years putting up with slower and slower broadband, I persuaded Open Reach to investigate. Yep there was a fault. You now have 50Mbps at the property boundary.

So why was i getting 18Mbps at the computer.

Hmmm. Lets take a look, the tech man says.
I'm getting 30Mbps without the router connected and 20Mbps connected. You need a new router.
But don't worry. In a couple of years you will get Full Fibre.

Router arrived yesterday. I now have 50 Mbps and have now to spend what will feel like days setting every wireless connection to the new router code. Happy Days!

Bob

PS next up is negotiating a price drop...

Hi

Just change the router SSID to the same as your old one was with the same password. You then won't need to update all your devices,

Personally I use a Mesh network so never use the SSID provided by the router.

Cheers

Paul
Yes I realised this about half way through the process  :*(
