N Gauge Discussion / The Travelling Post Office Hel...Last post by GWR-Kris - Yesterday at 02:34:47 PMIm looking at making a travelling post office train, my layout is set in early 2000s and wanted to put together a train. Now having checked there is only currently two era 9 post office coaches 374-980 and 374-980A. All the others appear to be ERA8. However 374-975 and 374-975A appear to be very close in terms of the livery.
Does anyone have any info to help put together a rake ideally looking for around 6 coaches atm #13

This was indeed a slightly 'adapted' (being kind) mk2 coach. The others are all Mk1 BGs / Newspaper coaches which is why I said Mk1 in the original post and then managed to use the one that wasn't a Mk1 for the pics - sorry for the confusion. I did managed to pop a couple of the couplings out and replace with standard sprung couplings on a couple of them, which is what I need for now, but will probably leave the others alone for the time being. #15

 That's some cowardly and frankly pusillanimus nonsense. #17

General Discussion / Re: what are you listening to ...Last post by Newportnobby - August 30, 2026, 09:19:03 AMI tend to listen to vocals with my eyes shut and only open them if I hear something making an impression on me. In that respect I guess I'm like that awful TV programme 'The Voice' where the judges only turn their chair round to see the vocalist if they like what they hear.
I'd not heard of the vocalists as I don't do musicals (apart from a long ago attendance at the original line up of 'The Rocky Horror Show'). I do think Lulu was staggered by the reception she got but it was about 70% through the prom so I'd have thought she'd have recovered by the end  #19
General Discussion / Re: what are you listening to ...Last post by Moonglum - August 30, 2026, 09:09:21 AMWe watched it as well Mick @Newportnobby and enjoyed it for the most part.
I agree that the singers were mainly unknowns (until I looked them up) and Omar was awful and ruined "You Only Live Twice" and "We Have all the Time in the World". The remaining singers for us were pretty good. Lulu looked emotionally overcome at the end of "The Man with the Golden Gun" which might explain her not coming back on-stage at the end. I suppose that like a lot of the things some of the Bond themes are so iconic listening to another singer doing it can be disappointing. Most of the other singers are successful West End musical performers. The singer who did "Skyfall", I couldn't find out much about out her, certainly had a powerful voice. It was odd that a few numbers were not Bond themes were included and the programme shows a couple of themes were edited out. The Radiohead alternative to "Spectre" was not great at all. The BBC Concert Orchestra were good. Tim #20
General Discussion / Re: what are you listening to ...Last post by Newportnobby - August 30, 2026, 08:32:48 AMHaving always been a devotee of John Barry's music, I watched the BBC James Bond prom last night. However, I found it to be very similar to the Prog Rock prom in that the vocalists, all of whom I'd never heard of, were just not up to scratch. The single exception to this was Lulu who, basically, showed them all how it's done at the age of 77
 There were the odd tracks like the theme from 'Man from UNCLE' and 'The Avengers', although the latter had a tenuous Bond link as Diana Rigg (  ) was in 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service'Strangely, at the final curtain call Lulu was not there  | Please Support Us!
