Hi all Just been burning weeds on the garden path so I currently smell of smoke – no matter where you stand with the gas torch the wind will invariably change direction. Thought I should do it now rather than later in the summer as there's less chance of it getting out of hand – the lawns are well soaked at the moment and the weeds are on concrete, so no risk of uncontrolled fire. I've also ordered a new G scale loco – this time it's a RhB 4-axle electric railcar in yellow. Over 2ft long and weighs in at just under 4kg, so I'm expecting great things as far as haulage is concerned. Scott, hang in there, sounds tough. I guess when you have an upheaval of that sort it takes a while for things to settle, but they will in the end. Ryan, the problem is that the older lines would cost a fortune to relay to standard gauge, also the broader gauge works well with Talgo sets as you can build very low and wide cars, so you get excellent cornering stability. I get the impression the EU would rather avoid it as any suggestion that they should regauge would be met with “ok, but we need money to do it” and they're currently trying to help out the new member states from the old Eastern Bloc, we're seeing a lot more Poli***rucks than we used to here. Diesel is hovering around the £1/litre mark here although about ¾ of that is tax. Methinks pigs will take to the skies before they cut that down – our government seems not to realise that we don't all have the option of public transport, and a hybrid car would last about 5mins here due to the hills... Bye for now
