    It’s the cheese model where all the holes align to make an accident….sad reading. Lots of lessons.

    Too many holes and not enough cheese. Even Human Factors can’t explain this one away. Sorry, but the Accountable Manager should live up to his name on this one.

    Is the accountable manager in prison yet? Jeez that was hard reading. Its a list of ‘things not to do’.

    from conversations with a friend of mine who operates vintage jets, its a dwindling stock of life-limited parts…certainly for critical components anyway. Piston engines may well be different as a lot of parts can be overhauled and used ‘on condition’. There’ll be experts along in a moment….

    There’s a blast from the past. I’d forgotten about this thread…..

    We are looking to get rid of the Aztec… She’ll need new undercarriage seals and one of the engines is about due for overhaul. Other than that, she hasn’t been touched since we bought her. We’ve got all of her documents.

    The data plate referred to is not obvious and could have been removed by its previous owner. PM sent Dreadnaught…

    From what I can gather Datsun was only a trade name of Nissan, and they wanted a united corporate identity.

    For locos, go to Bachman. I’m a newly converted N gauger, so the Graham Farish brand is the route I’ve gone. I agree with the Peco track too.

    Don’t go to Hornby for Digital Command kit either – Gaugemaster seem to be the best.

    I think that the following ethos should be followed – for expensive toys, go to Hornby. For Model railway stock, go to anyone else.

    Ladyboys aside (plenty of them in the Bigg Market!), come up north – hundreds of miles of empty skies, no missile batteries (unless you fly over Otterburn), and friendly people in the club huts. Whilst the south east doesn’t want you, the glorious North would love your custom.
