Does this system have a rail joiner with elecric connection?
If not how is power connected to track?

Round 4 - A week already?!

Foamy action shot. We can add special soap to make foamy water.



Covid vax: That look in her eyes? Over two decades of marriage on the line...  :D



Chief Sanders, in a fit of pre-game bravado, thought his Irish could take my Buckeyes. Fail! Now wear it!




A bit of drill tower "gallows" humor.

Andy , that's great if you have the skills and dexterity to work on these small models. Many of us have to either pass on the bargains or pay extra  for a competent engineer to fix it.

Proud to have been a Gooner for over 50 years, and not quite so proud of being a Sky Sports user for almost half of them!

At 10pm last night, I heard my phone screaming at me about an earthquake and then one big jolt to the house and that was it. Then at 4am this morning, I heard my phone screaming at me about the city being at emergency level 4 for the typhoon that was coming at us. A quaint symphony of screaming. Ah, nothing better... haha

Quote from: Southerngooner on Yesterday at 07:57:21 AMMy wife says I seem to have a knack of influencing games by turning on during a game, as invariably someone scores within a minute or two. Turned onto Ecuador last night as they were setting up a corner......just saying!

I trust you've sorted your Sky Sports subscription for next season Mr Champion.  :D

Quote from: Crepello on Yesterday at 02:54:46 PMI'm hoping for an RTR model!

Wizard for a while did built versions of their kits. They were not cheap though. I have a pair on my display shelf along with a 26000 and an EM2 I must finish some day.

No idea what I could ever use them for though 8)

Bogie vans were used by preference for the milk train runs for the ride amongst other things as they ran fast. However the trip freights with a few from the dairies would generally have been down branches and probably not even able to run at high speed

Some nice examples at https://www.cornwallrailwaysociety.org.uk/the-hemyock-branch.html

Once the regs were changed the milk trains would not have needed a separate brake as they were fully fitted so the guard was allowed to sit in the back cab of a two cab diesel instead.

@Stingray.  I saw that episode of Later... Wasn't quite sure what to make of them in the silly outfits but the micro-tonal looped music was quite interesting. 
 
I preferred Arlo Parks on that programme.

I used to religiously watch every episode of Later... and have been in the audience a couple of times when it used to be recorded in Maidstone. Quite an experience, if a little tiring standing up for the entire evening.   More recently I've looked at the acts scheduled and a lot of the time nothing grabs me as a "must watch".  I probably should make more effort and catch more shows.
