The change from Exact Editions to Pocketmags caused me some problems too - I'm accessing from my computer and it took me sometime to realise that the archive was in my library. However, it's not as convenient as before, because I have to open the entire archive until the year and month I want, whereas before I could select a decade, then the year.

When he mentioned that he learned a few words of Hindi whilst growing up in India Granny Kumar replied "Great! We love being insulted in our own language  "

Spare a thought also for the guy who played Checkov in the original ST series who passed away earlier this week.

Ah, Walter Koenig and his legendary Nuclear Wessels line

Expected price of €1800-€2000, probably much the same in pounds. Given it saves on all of those point motors and points that isn't all that bad. 24 fiddle yard roads, if one assumes you need 48 pairs of points and motors you quickly get up to that spend anyway. Would love to see if someone can make it work with iTrain, then I'd be sorely tempted!

Still no RTR Southern 4-6-0s just two kits BHE N15, and Langley S15, an H15 can be made from either of these using a chassis with scale 6' drivers, a Nelson could be hacked from a Scot or Jubilee. Of the Drummond 4-6-0s only the T14 lasted for any length of time, I remember seeing an occasional one, the last one was scrapped in about 1951.
I often wonder who has my old Nelson, it probably found it's way onto Ebay or on sale at a show, I let someone do a refurb  on it and a few other SR locos in exchange for a load of chassis, bodies and other bits  I know an H15 found it's way onto Ebay so assume others did I never saw any or the requested refurbs returned, including a Nelson and Arthur as well as the H15

what was wrong with the farish kings ?

@Le Night ferry here is a Foxhunter King kit built 2026. I'm well pleased with it! It's built on a China chassis

I received notification from RoS that my Accurascale Hunslet Austerity w/sound was being shipped on 29 Oct. I just checked the status and it is already in Japan (today is 1 Nov). Very surprised and I had to make sure this wasn't Apr 1.

Thank you for that, I have already obtained one but that doesn't preclude an RTR one.

I'll chase the other issues.
