For the benefit of those who don't immediately scream "nanny state" the
Wessex Association of Model Railway Clubs have a generic Risk Assessment
Document published on line all clubs are welcome to share. We have recently
updated it with an overview of the new 17th Edition IEE ...

My lime green/brown Falcon is superb.
I am quite prepared for the windscreen wipers to be adjudged 1mm too
wide, but it looks just right to me.
I cant stop looking at it - my family are getting quite concerned.

Anyone built one of these.  I am looking for drawings of it.  Have
some photo.
Have tried Google etc.

How refreshing to see a e-bay alert on trains rather than back and forth
bullshit about 12 stinking a.s volts...............Geeeeeez

Are any of you planning on visiting the Toledo Train Show this weekend?  I'm
going to try to make it since it's only about an hour away for us.

For Christmas my wife game me a Broadway Limited BLI5123-BlueLine Union
Pacific Alco FA FB... or rather a receipt for a pre-order of that unit.  She
was vague on when these units will be out on the market (the clerk said "a
few months").  Does anyone in this newsgroup know when ...

I am planning to get a DCC command station (I expect to have my first
decoder-equipped locomotives this winter), so I stumbled upon some
decisions to be made:
First one:

A few weeks ago there was a bit of a debate hereabouts about the lack of
suitable figures. Well it caused me to have a bit of a think and as I used
to make wargame figures and accessories I’ve chopped in my plans to go DCC
and I’ve made a modest outlay in respect of casting kit. ...

I've been tinkering with my Bachmann DCC cheapies that came in a set with
the EZ-Command controller.  The set came with a GP-40 and an FT-A engine
set, both with DCC decoders already installed (soldered in).  The GP-40
engine made so much noise at lowish speeds with the PWM sound ...

Has anyone seen the Bachmann 6 wheeled Emily coach in their Thomas range?  
I guess that it's not officially available in the UK because of some kind
of strict global Thomas licensing regime.  It's a shame as the Bachmann
Toby is light years better than the Hornby one.

This was sent to peoples in That 60's and 70's Drum Corps Group.
Rarely do i watch and or listen to flash files more than once. I'm on
my 4th listening with this one... Merry Christmas all youn's...
