Tijuana Taxi

Not been around for a while, first thing I looked for was to see if this was done Really nice, still not finished my Occre Berlin tram

I haven't seen the photo, but I do know the story of "Tuffi"

These are from a visit to Wuppertal in NW Germany mainly on my part to see the unique suspended railway. (my wife visited her friend who lives there too 😀) Weather was very atmospheric (a.k.a. foggy) so photos weren't great, this one gives you the general idea though. The line runs for 13km following the route of the Wupper river along the valley and was opened in 1901 Its the main transport for the residents and not viewed as a tourist attraction, but it is a really great experience. Pictured is one of the newer sets with the panoramic window at the rear, managed to get seated there for one complete trip This is one of the older sets, again best I could do in the rather misty valley weather

I read that they hope to make another series. Kate Winslet is keen, but did say how much it took out of her playing that character.

Contrary to every one else here I have had very good service from Hermes. For many years an old couple drove around delivering in their old VW Golf packed with parcels. Gave them my tel no and they rang if they had a parcel for me to save wasted visits. They retired and an Eastern European couple took over, they are equally reliable and friendly. I think a lot depends on the local delivery person, obviously not great if the infrastructure lets them down though.

Thanks for the best wishes Ruben and the fan idea. We actually have large ceiling fans in the sitting and dining rooms, just never thought of reversing them in winter, will definitelygive it a go. Regards Rich

Thanks for the kind words John, surgery next, the prognosis is positive. Only two houses we have owned have been Victorian and know what you mean about the rising heat. Like an oven up in the loft, but insulation under the slates must be good because snow melts very slowly.

I also wnjoyed it, sucker for anything cold war related. Carrying on the inaccuracies pretty sure the Routemaster Bus had LRT on the side. Surely it should have just been London Transport back in 1963.

I also live in a Victorian end of terrace house and agree the heat retention properties could be better. To be honest I didn't work for forty years to spend my later years messing about trying to save a few quid. I like sitting about in light clothing and having nice warm rooms. Wasted more than enough cash in my life on non essential things and not about to change now. My wife has just finished a course of chemo and last thing she needs is a cold house. So its pay up time for me, tumble dryer, heated towel rail and thermostat set at 21c. Can't take it with me and would rather my wife and I enjoyed our life than worrying how much we can save. Admittedly if you can't afford it then it makes sense to economise.

How about an anti war song

Try an inline moisture filter like a Sparmax Silver Bullet.

London Transport museum in Covent Garden is worth a look. Another one I like is the Museum of London at London Wall and their Docklands branch at Poplar Then there is the Geffrye museum or as its now called The Museum Of The Home at Shoreditch London Canal Museum behind Kings Cross station is another interesting one If you book up you can have a look and ride on the Post Office underground railway at Mount Pleasant Sorting Office Does it show i'm rather fond and proud of my home city?

Just to be sure no contamination gets as far as the airbrush use a moisture trap at the compressor. Pair that with one of the small inline filters just below the airbrush, Sparmax Silver Bullet works for me.

Thank you, I'll definitely give them a look.

Dug my old set out after reading this thread, pitch still looks in decent nick and a few bits I had forgotten. One figure looks like a manager, few policemen with one on horseback, couple of photographers and some players warming up. Small Orange ball and two of the later style goals, the box says the set is called the Continental, no idea what it originally contained. Can't see it ever being used again and might just stick it on eBay to see what it gets.
