I was talking to Tony a little earlier and we talked about pan shots. I mentioned that I'd had a quick play whilst photographing an O gauge layout yesterday and he suggested adding it to the topic. I don't regard such shots as having much illustrative value when photographing layouts but it just seemed opportune to do one. High speed blur would have looked odd with an 8F trundling along with loose minerals so the scale speed was dropped to about 25 mph. 1/30 @ f2.8 320 ISO for the base shot with added photofrippery afterwards. The layout is Leamington & Warwick MRS's 'Kimble' which will feature in BRM December just before it's first outing at Warley show in November.

I believe there was a degree of entrapment in this case whereby two parts of a structure which had limited contact surfaces had been placed in a prominent position and unaffixed to said layout. I am kicking myself in hindsight that I did not spot this obvious booby trap and the whole substructure fell apart akin to the bits flying off a clown's car. I also find it remarkably opportune that Oberwachtmeister Bonwick of Der Nudgenpolizei chose that very moment to walk through the door catching me red-faced and obviously guilty. He's ever watchful and later determined (Minority Report style) that I was guilty of an offence by having an elbow within the arc of potential damage to a signal post - an advisory notice was handed out.

Yes, a stupid statement and it's not the first time I've seen that attitude from the poster. Rein it in please.

I've isolated the code for it now which should resolve the issue until I can get some answers.

There shouldn't be any ad code within that element. A conversation for me to have tomorrow.

Can someone provide a screenshot please? Not been able to reproduce it at this end.

Our physics lab overlooked the WCML with numbers visible if you paid close attention. No wonder I failed A level with APT-Ps to contend with. Even late revision lessons for the retake were blighted by the space shuttle on a 747 due past.

Plenty of existing topics for it.

Now I know you are just trolling. You didn't respond to my earlier challenges, just marked it funny, so I'll just remove access to the topic and leave it for more intelligent discussion.

I don't think you've really looked at curvature and gradients e.g. Luton J9-10. Keele Bank? Wholly fantasy.

I thought I'd have a look at freight. https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/busiest-stations-for-freight-statistics.97568/ OK it isn't definitive and it's 5 years ago but I don't suppose the balance has changed much. Aside from Barnetby (would that still be top with less imported coal?) the WCML and combined routes seems to figure highly.

Yes, I did ask you for some facts to back up your stated beliefs a couple of days ago. You didn't come back to me with any so I'm left assuming it was a blind belief. Beliefs which cannot be backed with facts or a disregard for factual evidence to the contrary is why we all have to experience a political mess right now . Of which HS2 is just a small and low cost fallout compared to what the future potentially holds.

That's correct, the 'Ian Allan' stand at Warley each year was actually Midland Counties.

It's Triang Model Land - http://www.tri-ang.co.uk/indModelLand.html

And how does that freedom get paid for?

I've made my views known internally on the ads within posts. It needs resolving.

No, the software hasn't been hacked. That's a daft thing to say. Google Ads are served based on browsing history, if enabled, or wider blanket ads if you haven't. I haven't seen anything which causes any concerns in that respect. 1. Yes, that's what the topic is about. 2. It depends on your settings too.

What is your data source for this?

I doubt it is anything to do with the Stamford issue (even if the observation has any substance), it is more the reality of the costs of a venue for a long weekend plus additional nights' accommodation for a 33% increase in attendance. There is also the factor of new shows starting off who initially keep to a one-day format.

They've got the shade of brown wrong; AGAIN!

Not the last time I looked but their tariff agreement is with the EU and we won't have an alternative in place.

I blame those espousing returning model production back to the UK.

Ask yourself how railways came into being, it certainly wasn't government benevolence. Did the railways become 'better' under nationalisation? Not for an appreciable period of time and significant leaps only came in the overhead electrification and 125 eras. The 125 era barely benefited the WCML and again it was private investment which improved capacity and times. Unfortunately for HS2 the mass media leant upon journey times and property values rather than the number of people who could be moved. People 'got' motorways as it allowed more people to move fast more quickly or for greater distances in the same period (as long as it din't go through their back garden) - that was state backed so why shouldn't the state assist the development of a 21st century people movement solution. The state isn't dynamic enough for rapidly changing times, rather than allow people to use (with sensible restriction) and provide safer facilities for electric scooter users they're being beaten out of use, an ideal city personal transport solution. The post manages to combine anti-capitalism with xenophobia and a demand that your thoughts should be heard.

If you head to the advert topic in the Gold lounge I have posted a workaround for Goldies.
