That's a cool video, and also liked Bob G's photos of Circular Quay and the Opera House lit up in the early morning, and the old pubs.
We've only been to Sydney 3 times, despite being "Only" 3 hours flight away.
In 2011 we did a coach trip to the Blue Mountains and they dropped us off at a ferry to ride back to Circular Quay, not sure if it was the same route but I remember going under the Harbour Bridge. I don't think the ferry was as flash as the ones on the video though.
Last time we were there was about 18 months ago, and we stayed next to Darling Harbour, which is a pleasant place to stroll around. We were amazed at how they had built the tram lines up the middle of George St since we had last been there. Great for us tourists to get around, but it must have been a huge disruption while they were being built.

Yep, every time I go there, I think, Gawd imagine living here. My youngest daughter seems happy enough there, though.

I'm only an hour and a half away. Close enough, thanks.

Or as us Mexicans like to say, lovely to visit, wouldn't want to live there.
As someone who used to spend 2 days a week in Sydney it does have some wonderful sights, but getting around on the roads is a nightmare.
  

Here's another one that had me wondering.
Manfred Mann - wrapped up like a douche?

My mate Matt is The N Gauge modeller on YouTube. He does some 009 too. He's recently been medically retired from his job on the real railways so is looking forward to getting a lot of his projects further along now that he's got some time to spend on them. He's a lovely chap and very passionate about our scale. Definitely worth a follow.

I am afraid that ELO feature in my top ten list of bands that I just didn't get!

Anyway, here is something that Mick @Newportnobby probably will not like and Martin @port perran probably will. New to me...


Great voice and cover.

PS as Frank Zappa once said "Jazz is not dead it just smells a bit"

I would recommend Simon's Shed, he did go on hiatus for two years due to Youtube making the hobby less fun for him (which I can understand as been feeling that for my own channel) but he has been slowly getting back into things.

I consume way too much YouTube, particularly when I am sitting/standing on a train, so if said individual is popular and model railway related I am surprised the algorithm has not thrown them at me... and I do find plenty of N gauge relevant material - although of course I search it out...

Count me in as a 'who' response too.  I also watch quite a bit of N gauge / Scale content and as @bluedepot mentioned, I tend to prefer amateur stuff too,  especially a channel called budget model trains and other channels that focus more on repairs and renewals (seeing an old broken junker brought back from the dead is very satisfying)

Quote from: bluedepot on Yesterday at 06:01:18 PMi think if it is mint in box and DCC fitted with a reasonable quality of decoder then about 80-95 pounds would be a fair price.

personally i would only pay the top end of that estimate if it had a zimo decoder fitted. i dislike the dapol decoders.

Interesting and good info.

Easy answer Colin no I have never heard of Peachy & I enjoy You Tube
