Thanks for the update. It's a shame it's been recycled as it was a lovely bit of modelling.

As for the new board, well you can't really go wrong with a bit of WCML!

I'd love you to prove me wrong, Mike! I'll have 5-6 at least (if you do the right liveries ;) )

Whilst I've often mentioned the 90, the more I think about it the less I think it's suited for Revolution's business model - there are so many liveries it's really more suited to a multi-release strategy; which liveries would they do!?

As I've said many times, we're not set on a single release strategy but the numbers have to add up to produce it (producing a wide choice of liveries helps with that and also gives modellers choice - how many times do we hear people complain that X livery isn't available on a new release) and then potentially re-run models.

Cheers Mike

Today I was hoping to show you a video of 82029 taking the branch passenger from the Shipton run-around to Platform 4.  But I couldn’t get the camera to connect to either my laptop or my PC.  The battery was well down and so that may be the cause.  I won’t know until later.

We started with a trip to J Sainsbury and then it was off to the gym.  We returned for a late coffee and then I had one or two computer-based tasks before dinnertime.  After dinner, I put up the framework for the fruit bed cage, but it took most of the afternoon.  After a cup of tea, I went to the Train Shed and had a running session. 

I ran 82029 and it ran very well.  I made a video of its very smooth running but, unfortunately, I cannot get the camera to connect to any of the computers.  I tried using Wi-Fi, but that didn’t work either.  After a frustrating evening of trying to recover the video, I gave up.  I could buy a SanDisk reader, but the SDHD is one of the old, larger ones, so I don’t know which reader to buy.  I suppose I will have to take it into
A shop and ask them what will fit it.

I've taken one for the team and commissioned Mercig to do me a Farish 90 to his standards, so that should ensure someone announces one.

Well that's a bit of a b&&gger!

Anyone see this comment on the Website for the Reefer anouncement.

"If only there was a high specification Class 90 locomotive available in N…" !!!

Had one recently telling me my TV license payment had been refused. We pay cash onto a card when we go shopping. Nice try though as I haven’t had one of those before.

with monthly tv licence payments,....the first year you start you pay double each month for the first 6 months--then single monthly payments from then on. That way--you are always 6 months in credit.

Hello mate.  It's long since been recycled at Darwen tip.  I've recently taken delivery of a modular board measuring 3'3" by 10'6" though from White Rose Modelworks which will give me something to chew on over the winter.  Not quite sure what to do with it yet.  With it being flat I won't be able to contrive much depth so might do something a bit more urban for a change.  I expect it to be WCML based but I've always fancied doing something Transpennine-ish based between Stalybridge and Huddersfield so who knows.  It would be nice to be able to use the large fleet of 86s I have.

I've been a bit too busy building the real thing over the past few years to have time to build the little ones!

Well you were right about the containers.

Pity the Live session didn't work.

Yep, as said, Ben's just doing a bit of a wrap up now, sure it'll be available once it's finished.
