What's the problem? This is about Scotland becoming an independent country, or are you a Labourite with independence being a swear word?

Oh how the tides are changing.

Hey there, I have ambitious plans for a layout. It includes a Standard Gauge branch or secondary route, with one or two through stations and a small shed. It would be constructed as a loop, but tunnels and scenery changes should hide this. This would no doubt be OO gauge. A mixture of tank...

So? Maybe he had another connection to make and had to be off the train asap thus wished to avoid any queues, or maybe he doesn't like crowds. Heck, I'll get up a couple of minutes before the station if I have a connection to make just to make sure I make the connection.

Number 7. I think I've developed a soft spot for that thing.

And being told I can't state my opinion isn't?

I'm sorry, but I've still to be told what it is exactly I did wrong.

Is this due to signaling problems?

No thanks. I fail to see how when giving my opinion on a matter, then being told not to say it is makes me the bad guy here. I'm also not the one who resorted to insults here.

Industrial tanks are just as beautiful as their mainline counterparts. I didn't think I'd enjoy Wemyss no. 17 as much as, say, 80105, but when I got behind 17 at Bo'ness (on loan from Strathspey), I LOVED her. But Freshwater alone is enough reason to go to the IoW. Not seen her in years, and...

I'm assuming they have, but have TS gave much thought into opening a station in the town to serve the town?

I thought you had to name the exact class...

The Isle of Mull Railway is being relocated to the old trackbed of the Balloch Pier line, running from the old Central station to the Maid.
