... do Farish sell their coach wheels in packs of 10? Unless you model exclusively 4-wheel coaching stock you are always going to have two axles left over. Packs of 8 or 12 would make more sense.

Is it just me?

Cheers,

PS. I've just realised you need 10 for LNER quad-arts, but that's still a bit niche.

Just been listening to the rollingstones' foreign tongues ... featuring, among others, Steve Winwood on several of the tracks and Paul McCartney on bass on one track.
Typical Stones' sound - recognisable riffs, etc. Good continuation of their previous blues album. They even have a posthumous drum track from Charlie Watts!
Haven't watched the blue ray version yet though ...

Trying to renew my driving licence, problems:-
I don't have a mobile phone
The app instead of using mobile phone refuses to download to Windows 7

WE Luddites should rebel against this discrimination!!!!!!!!!

I agree with much of what Steven says despite maybe being one of the most flippant members. I don't know much technical stuff so tend to sit back and learn rather than proffer incorrect advice. It has to be remembered, though, we have just over 10,000 members and, to state the obvious, we are all different. OK, it's only a very small hard core who post regularly and I'd suggest if an OP doesn't understand the reply they get in touch with that responder via PM to avoid being further confused.
The nearest I've come to this happy community is the Kawasaki Owners forum but the Qashqai one is not good at all

I agree, but at least it's not as bad as car forums where they draw blood and threaten to off their dog.

I tried watching this last night with the sound off as SWMBO was watching telly. Some interesting auto-generated caption!
All very interesting to see what is considered modern, but I think the prices are getting too high for me.
I hope this will encourage more under 50s modellers to join our hobby.

Quote from: Carmont on August 05, 2026, 02:01:49 PMI understand that the yellow triangle on the 24.5Ts was to enable easy identification between them and the lower capacity 21Ts.

Does anyone have a date in respect of when the triangle started to be applied?

Trying to find that myself: Without indicator They come onto the rails early 50's ( Era 4) - Farish lists the yellow triangles as 'Era 5' =  post 1956, AI suggests 1959 but not surprised if it wasnt earlier as the the new wagons were soon found not to fit under a lot of existing colliery loaders that the old 21 tonners would, and later auto loading the same as 21t would have defeated the object of the higher cap - so marking them up would have been important... Suggests to me that these wagons would have tended to be marshalled together , rather than just allowed to mix willy-nilly with 21 and 16t opens
