  1. Kernow Model Rail Centre have teamed up with Revolution Trains to offer the Stobart liveried Class 92. The Revolution Class 92 is, like the well-received Pendolino, being produced by Rapido Trains, and will incorporate the same features as the standard Revolution Class 92s. 92 017 was painted into Stobart Rail livery in 2009 and named "Bart the Engine", being primarily intended for use on the Tesco Express intermodal service from Daventry to Mossend. However being one of 17 Class 92s owned by DB Cargo this was not the only duties 92 017 could be seen on, other examples include working between Dollands Moor and Wembley on Channel Tunnel traffic, infrastructure workings on the East Coast Main Line in December 2011 for example, or even working a charter for Pathfinder Tours between Birmingham International and Crewe in June 2010. The model will be delivered with the main batch of Revolution Class 92s, expected to be during the 4th Quarter of 2019, although this may of course change. The price is £179.95 plus postage and you can place your order through our website, calling our shop, or in person at our Camborne or Guildford shops. The direct product link is http://www.kernowmodelrailcentre.com/p/65673/N23194-Revolution-Trains-Class-92-Electric-Locomotive-92-017 Further news will be given in our weekly newsletter.
  2. I am very saddened to have just received this news. Milton Keynes Model Railway Society - PRESS RELEASE Terry Silver, Exhibition Manager and Vice-Chairman: 1946 - 2019 It is with deep sadness we report that our longstanding Exhibition Manager and Vice Chairman, Terry Silver, passed away in the late evening of Friday 19 July, 2019. He had been diagnosed very recently with Mesothelioma, an untreatable illness which is caused by asbestos damage to the lining of the lungs. Those who knew him are in shock and trying to come to terms with what is a huge loss for us as individuals as well as for Milton Keynes Model Railway Society. Not only was Terry a great friend to many individuals within MKMRS but, as Exhibition Manager, he was the ‘face of the exhibition’ to many layout exhibitors, traders and manufacturers on the exhibition circuit. Terry led our annual exhibition over many years, growing the profile of the show and the attendance numbers considerably. This year, as MKMRS celebrated its 50th anniversary, Terry pulled together a two day show which was attended by well over 3,000 people; this is a considerable achievement of which he could be very proud at a time when many competing entertainment activities are on offer. Friends of Bletchley Station Terry worked not only with model trains, but also contributed to the main line railway. He was Chairman of the Friends of Bletchley Station, a group which was formed by MKMRS and works to provide an improved environment at Bletchley station. Working closely with the local management team at London Northwestern Railway (LNR), Terry led the planting of flowers in tubs and troughs on the platforms, considerably brightening up the experience for passengers and staff at the station. The kind words about Terry from the team at LNR demonstrate perfectly how highly regarded Terry was by those who knew him and worked with him. We will all miss Terry very much; the world will be poorer without his passion for life, his active approach to getting on with tasks and his sense of humour. However, Terry will be missed most by his family and is survived by his wife Susan, his son Adrian and daughter Nicole and her husband Brad, as well as his two granddaughters, Amy and Raven. Charity donations in memory of Terry If you would like to make a charity donation in memory of Terry, his family have asked that you give to Macmillan Cancer Support. Donations can be made online and named in memory of Terry at: www.macmillan.org.uk/donate I met Terry many times, a lovely gent and my condolences to family, friends and the society members.
  3. A similar set-up here with 35Mb in the house and 18Mb in the shed, 100+ foot from the main board to the shed. Very rarely do I lose a connection although 4K video playback can be a little hesitant at times.
  4. He always said he'd sell his memoirs. Any takers?
  5. I made sure it was well invested. Some of it on Gold beach. And some cider. It wouldn't stretch to a Carribean cruise/Galapogos Islands/India and Nepal.
  6. Let's get facts straight. You have not been suspended but your posts are on moderator approval before publishing as your manner is quite abrasive and has led to a few reports from other members. One that annoyed me is trying to your comments here https://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/143518-rmweb-gold-a-new-premium-membership/page/22/&tab=comments#comment-3559043 simply because you did not take the time to read other content which explained what Gold membership is. Even your post above is abrasive, I would suggest winding the attitude in and once there's a longer history of being more pleasant it will be reviewed.
  7. Can't be one of Jerry's, he's got round to doing the lining.
  8. I left the title as it doesn't mention Hattons, having moved it into the general model shop area and it is thus more likely to wither sooner.
  9. Superb atmospheric shots as ever Mike! Sitting here watching 'The Right Stuff', many years since I last saw it, a mammoth film.
  10. I recognise the cactus and rocks etc. I do hope you are not going to take up my time with multiple identities again.
  11. It was automatically quarantined following a couple of reports whilst I was out snapping tiny trains.
  12. As a subscriber you may well have been in receipt of a different offer at the time of subscribing.
  13. I don't think there's a limit but I will look into it.
  14. Do you remove the numberplate when you park the car and not pay? Do you put a binliner over the TV when the ads are on? Do you stick your fingers in your ears when ads are on the radio?
  15. Because of an earlier incorrect libellous comments which resulted in a complaint. And that image isn't the same yellow all-over.
  16. The things you see round other people's houses that you just can't quite explain.
  17. A bigger one of these needed? http://www.nelevation.com/
  18. Read the latter pages of this https://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/145059-crowdfunding-reclaim-via-credit-card/ which discusses debit card chargebacks.
  19. You should see a Bookmark link at the bottom of every post and you can choose to save items privately or publicly. When I'm back on the PC I'll look how it can be linked to etc.
  20. I had the misfortune to be in retail some years ago.
  21. We don't want that sort of nudging going on thank you and definitely no illustrations from you.
  22. Not sure why a .ru link figured so highly but they do have a .co.uk domain too - https://www.regus.co.uk/offices/united-kingdom/west-midlands/birmingham/office-space/birmingham-crossway
