Hopefully it will work so I'll be interested to hear how you get on with it. My main issue is coupling the 4 cars together and then lifting the 4 car unit onto the track in the first place. I couple mine together upside down and can turn a 4 car unit over but not sure my hands are big enough to do 7 cars at the same time 

Oysterband. Stunning band live and really talented musically. At the Swansea gig I saw them at they even did a final song with no microphones or electronics in the middle of the crowd.

@Trainfish I've ordered one of these and am hoping it will help greatly (idea obtained from @zwilnik ). You can slide it down the track under a train to get every bogie onto the rails

Quote from: port perran on Yesterday at 08:41:58 PMVery interesting although I'd question whether some of those original artists should actually be classified as "Prog Rock".
For example - Moody Blues, Osibisa, Incredible String Band and Supertramp even though I do like all of those.

I agree with Martin. It's a rich source they've tapped into and I've no idea how they'll cram it all in. I just hope the whole shebang gets televised

Is it really about 53 years ago that I saw Focus live? 
It's amazing how time flies past.

They were a bit of a revelation back in the early 70s as I remember.

I seem to have been focussing on Focus today, includng one of my favourites - a rather understated piece compared to the likes of 'Hocus Pocus'

Quote from: Newportnobby on Yesterday at 08:56:23 AMIn some circles the EE Type 1 (class 20 for those more youthful than me*) was also nicknamed 'wardrobe' because of all the doors along the sides

*Yeah, I know, that's most of you out there
