Taking forever to load, Mick, then when it does I just get adverts.

There again, it is Yahoo.  :worried:

I'd seriously recommend AdBlock to you, Jon.

Does AdBlock work on embedded video adverts like that? Surely not? I also got stuck in the adverts. The third or forth one got stuck in a loop. I don't mind one, but 3+ is stupid!

No adverts for me with AdBlock. The link just goes straight to the subject matter :thumbsup:

"Adblock Plus" works brilliantly for me with this and everything else on the net. Highly recommended installation - free and easy to do (I have no connection with it). It saves so much time - if in doubt, and if you can, have a look at the York Press (my local rag) website with and without the adverts. It's almost an unreadable nuisance with the ads, whereas it's plain and simple with Adblock Plus doing its thing.

Anyway, on the topic, an awesome layout indeed, thanks!

QuoteA train enthusiast has devoted 30 years of his life to his model railroad, which could be worth more than $3m.

Hang on... That's US$100,000 per year gain in value? Where do I sign up? Wait until I read those figures to SWMBO. "Darling, if I sell my layout now we could purchase part of a garage in central London".
