Used to have a book about De-cluttering by Were Sitgone.

Been the case since sales began. Stock bought in special for the event with over inflated RRP's so that the discount looks huge thereby hyping up sales. much like the Aldi & Lidl specials

One possible problem here is that Academy kits are now distributed in the UK by Bachmann - Hornby Hobbies main competitor The key word being distributor. To my knowledge there's no manufacturing link between Academy & Bachmann (or Pocketbond who Bachmann purchased) so it's unlikely to affect Airfix purchasing direct from Academy. If anything was to go sour between Academy & Bachmann there's a potential distributor in waiting.

The cars are probably 1/32 - for the Scalextric range. That would put the F-35 @ around 1/60. Could it be an old 3d print for the snapfix kit put there simply as a red herring?

Just had a pop up saying my free version was due to expire in 12 days and warning that i needed to upgrade. On clicking the upgrade button was offered the paid version, bright bold flashy text, or the free version subdued thin white text. Opted for the free verson. Offered a 50% discount on standard price, again selected the free version. - confirmed the free vesion fo the next 12 months. It's only Marketing trying to get you to use the paid version. It's been the same since the day's of shareware and will alway's be. p.s. I always keep the free version of Malwarebytes installed as well. It's reputedly more effective in finding/removing infections but the free version can only run on demand and not continually in the background.

There's two 'versions' of AVG free. The truely free version for non-commercial use which is a cut down version, and the trial version which is the full blow version but time limited (2 months springs to mind) and intended to demonstrate the features you're 'missing' out on. What can happen is that during the installation of a version update the notification box has an option to use the trial version. If this is not unticked you get the time limited trial. I'd uninstall AVG and re-install the free version. Keep an eye on any check boxes that appear. Worked for me everytime I've been caught out.

My employers have just suggested I change my career path, apparently they are shocked at how bad an electrician I've turned out to be.

Balsa is too open grained, if you've a model boat, dolls house, modelcraft or DIY store locally see what stripwood they have. You've nothing to loose with coffee stirrers though there may be a problem hiding the joint's. If you need several layers stagger them like brickwork it will make them much stronger and less likely to deform

This link to track preserved at Auschwitz might help answer your questions LINK there's plenty of others available on the web

Close match to UK sleepers which are around* 6in x 10in x 8ft 6in long (150mm x 250mm x 2.59m) *overall dimensions of sleepers did vary over time as speeds and weights of trains increased, with these dimensions 'standardising' in the mid 30's. That said as timber sleepers had a life of around 20 - 25 years there would be a variety around (although not usually at the same location). Longer sleepers were used where points & crossings were located.

Could have been worse it could have been.. Puss in Boots

I'm not convinced this is anything other than a 'new' internet myth after all no evidence (video or photo) has been provided, 15 mins of fame anyone? Man rings the doctor to cancel his appointment, receptionist asks the reason. He replies he's been having trouble passing water recently & can't get out, how long has this been going on she asks. Since the bridge collapsed last Friday.

Junk mail. I don't care how close your kitchen is, or how how far you will deliver your tripe. Your menu, produced from stock photo's, won't entice me to order salmonella & chips (or rice, or pizza) I don't want your leaflets - stop wasting resources.

The Beeb for turning non-story into a mass frenzy. Where was the issue with a few filling stations receiving their regular delivery late and being out of fuel for a day or two? I doubt many had noticed before this mornings news. There is one guaranteed outome to the use of the words "There is no need to P...." A non-story becomes "You heard it here first" Yes, 'cause you started it. Wonder if we can we get them to start panic buying on Salt?

Heard this said of Humbrol Matt Aerosol sprays which has a reputation for frosting. Testors, if it is still available, is far better after that I'm stumped. Never heard of that might be worth a try next time I'm aflicted with frosting.

There was an article in the Airfix magazine that covered just such a conversion I can't off the top of my head remember which edition though. February 1977 Thought I'd posted the information earlier so checked & found this !

Your 90 ohm resistor is running 9V @ 0.1A (100 mA) i.e. 0.9 W power and as the commonly available resistors are only 0.5 Watt or 1 Watt and may be being pushed beyond, or close to, it's limits. You may need a higher wattage resistor similar to these: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/133247111657?hash=item1f062591e9:g:BFYAAOSwCGVX98gB

Problem with this simple circuit is that as soon as you connect a load to the middle point (OUT in the diagram) you affect the resistance and lower the voltage. If the resistances (R1 and R2) were selected such that for a 12 V input 3V was given at OUT then if, by coincidence, the additionl load circuit resistance was to equal R2 then the voltage @ OUT drops to around 1.7V which may or may not be sufficient to light the LED fillaments. Two options for @Reelyator are: One: to replace R2 with the LED fillaments for which he needs the info he's seeking to determine what R1 needs to be. Two: to use a DC/DC voltage regulator and a correctly designed circuit to go with it that permits an input of 12V and a steady output @ 3V something similar to these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/203257492450?hash=item2f531733e2:g:u6wAAOSwdVtgDU3w (usual disclaimers, other sources etc)

Levers to the front of the box (normally) colours differed according to use (signal, point, spare, locking etc). Block instruments on shelves above the levers. Desk for the 'box' register, probably one at each end for a box this size. Stoves for heating - probably located behind the solid panels on the side facing us in the above photo. In quieter boxes a comfy chair (typically not provided by the railway. More impotantly than any of the above - mashing facilities. There are loads of signal box interior pics out on the web.

Destined to be.

Put a new mask on earlier and it kept slipping off & realised that with this C-19 I've developed Prince Charles ears. Good job it's not sexually transmitted, I thought, I might have ended up with a Prince A....

There's a (slim) chance it might match the company's standard font - if they are still in existence try looking on their website.

Don't foget the motto of all customer services. "The customer is always right ... ... until they hang up"

Quality Engineers that write/re-write procedures and leave out the key points that control "Quality", don't include those that perform the tasks in compiling the procedure & don't circulate the document to those same people. Then pass the buck when Auditors find issues.
