The downside of the electronic version and the excellent searchable archive is when you end your subscription for financial (lack of) reasons you've suddenly lost them all including the electronic copies you paid for 

A couple local to me are X1, on a Mini, and J11MNY on a Jimny, obviously.

Being space constrained here I switched to the electronic version of RM a few years back, getting rid of most of my back copies, except for a very few I hung on to that I felt a bit special. And I do really like having the searchable archive!

However last week, as always when I am back on a UK visit, since I do enjoy the paper copy I bought the latest printed RM (*) and so also got the calendar for next year (* also bought Model Rail, Hornby Magazine and BRM - excessive one might think, but its only the once, or maybe twice, a year that I get the chance to do that  ),

Colin.

Thankfully RM have brought back the 'free' calendar for 2026 so yesterday's post was a good reminder to add it to Mrs Trainfish's shopping list which she duly bought for me

Just checked out @madchadbrad 's post modern jukebox and I can see the appeal! How about this (hallowed turf of course)...

That's the first time that I've knowingly listened to Post Modern Jukebox.
I've no idea if that is typical of the genre but worth further investigation.
Very listenable.
Thanks @madchadbrad and @Moonglum

Like @Bob G there is not very much for me as I have 7 Halls and a "C" I might have the black modified Hall, but am really waiting for one with a Hawksworth tender

I believe that person was Steve Parrish who, after closing his motorcycle racer career, went on to race trucks

At one time, the Number plate PEN 15 was fitted to a mobility scooter ( one of those light blue things ) that had installed a full race motorcycle engine. It was owned by an ex motorcycle racer.

I did see the plate later fitted to a Porsche.

Most prestige big saloons / 4X4 these days seem to have the styling of a brick.

Our late border collie hated all loud noises especially fireworks, so this fortnight was always a problem even though we live in the middle of nowhere..
The current border Collie puppy doesn't care, when the battle of the Somme erupted in the next village last night, while we were outside, he woofed once then got on with life..
