General Discussion / Re: Ashes tour 25/26Last post by Belly - November 22, 2025, 11:45:30 AMI confess I was hoping for a proper test match, something that would last at least four days. Romantically, a contest with the result in the last session of the fifth day. What we got was two one day games in quick succession with some very good bowling and three batsmen who exceeded 50 runs.
I'm hoping for a better contest in Brisbane. If not there, maybe Adelaide, my favourite Australian cricket venue. Newport Nobby, the Perth Stadium outfield is the same size as the MCG. Lastly, I feel sorry for those that had tickets for days 3,4, and 5. #73

I assume tomorrow's will be "Travis Head - one man England destroyer"I'm at the football in Bristol as usual. I suspect the match here will last longer than the England innings  #74

General Discussion / Re: The angry threadLast post by Bealman - November 21, 2025, 09:14:27 PMOnly 4G? At the end of last year they closed down 3G here, and I was forced to throw a perfectly good phone away. Except it wasn't perfectly good, was it, as it wouldn't work on 5G, which is what Vodafone said, and what we're on now.
Anyway I bit the bullet and bought the last Motorola in the shop (they were the cheapest and had been snapped up by other people in the same situation). It's a bit of a rort, but it's been 12 months now and I'm actually pleased it happened. New speed and phone features great. #78

N Gauge Discussion / Re: Dapol announcement looking...Last post by Roy L S - November 21, 2025, 03:52:45 PMQuote from: Cols on November 21, 2025, 03:38:25 PMIf I remember correctly, the Dapol Gresley 61'6" stock has an error in the bogie centre to centre measurement (too short). (Minitrix apparently got this right.) I believe (others can step in here) the first batch was the worst with the bogies about 2mm inward of the correct positions. Later batches corrected the error to a degree but still about 1mm off. As far as I am aware Dapol will be using existing tooling for the underframes of these models. Speaking for myself, having many Dapol Gresleys (and indeed some maroon Minitrix ones) it is a compromise I am happy to live with on these newly announced models and isn't all that visible except on the very first batch which do look a tad "tippy-toe". I am wondering when we will get a further update... Roy #80

Will these new Buffet Cars and BGs have the correct 43' centre to centre measurement? Just wondering... or is an error being perpetuated..? | Please Support Us!
