Purely hypothetical because there’s no such thing as immoderate tea drinking. I only have 4 or 5 cups a day.

Neither do I want to be anywhere in the vicinity of the narcissistic, senile, racist convicted sexual predator, however the Prime Minister has a duty to the safeguarding the security of this country that outweighs any distaste there maybe.

#ios 18 bug? Just seeing if it’s just me. In notes if I select Quick Notes but then go back to the folder view. The new note button just adds a new note to the folder but doesn’t actually open it to write into. Kept tapping the button and got a list of empty notes.

Surely it should have been posed as a question with the abstract : Yes.

Really nice if I do say so myself. 😊 Took inspiration from the prototype so there is an inner chassis with motor mounted centrally and vertical then delrin chain drive to both axles. The axles are on a sprung radius arm hung off the gearbox. Miniature ball races, DCC, stay alive capacitor & sound.

Fair enough but for me it doesn’t work. I wasn’t expecting a technical drawing, by details I guess I mean the proportions, the shape and dimensions aren’t correct. It’s miles away from Flying Scotsman. Turners fire and rain works for me because the proportions are correct and has few details.

There was, sometimes a fixed item in the chassis and sometimes arranged with some linkages to allow more side to side float on the ceter axle for a long wheelbase vehicle (Cleminson under frame).
