Try scratching somewhere else next time Mick

Very influential on me Mark @Platy767 , my dad had two of their albums in the mid sixties which got a lot of play on our Dansette...



Ours was identical to this one.

Lani Hall (vocals) married Herb Alpert and is still performing. She also sang the James Bond theme "Never Say Never Again".

Tim

Sigh.

Sergio Mendes and Brasil'66.

Brings back wonderful memories of AM radio, 45s and of course, me mum!

Doesn't sound anything like AM radio now. (Actually remastered too hot)

As long as it's not a 'desperation' issue
I'll give 'em 'Scratch and win'. I scratched me arse and won nowt

I wonder what Wilko Johnson's step count is on a gig

Quote from: Papyrus on May 29, 2026, 09:35:27 AMInteresting looking loco! But did the cab really have no forward-facing window in real life? How did the crew watch for signals?

No, they had roughly rectangular front windows about the height of the cab side windows.

I suspect there is no human intervention so surveys are unlikely to feature, the e-mails are more likely a completely random mail drop sent to all subscribers and rather like the supermarket aisles they are looking for people to buy that "bargain" that they don't need and would never proactively look for.

I get the Rails e-mails but delete most without even opening them, most of the time the "bargains" are the same slow selling models as previously promoted, I guess I should really unsubscribe   

I've been a customer of Rails ever since The Signal Box at Rochester finished, so some 15-20 years (guess). If they could be arsed to check they'll see I've only ever bought N gauge. As Gareth says, a simple questionnaire could alleviate this over communication problem

Great finds, Graham. Hopefully we'll see them running in the not too distant future

I have now fired off an email to Rails re their newsletters. Since last Saturday I have received 14, 90% of which have no scale relevance to me. Definitely time to unsubscribe unless they update their algorithms.
