Afternoon everyone. Just wondering if any of you know of something decent to shine up the plastics on a dashboard? I’ve tried various spray things but never seem to be able to get it quite as good as they do in a used car dealership. Is there some kind of gel on the market that they use?

This is obviously going to be quite a complex operation and a couple of people have requested that we have a discussion about this, but we felt it better to have it in a new thread.

I’ve got a few questions about RETB (Radio Electronic Token Block) signalling for you all. I’ll number them so that if you only know the answer to one or two you can just give me your thoughts on those questions. 1) I was wondering what equipment you might find at a small terminus - say Mallaig...

Morning people :) I’ve got three of these switches but I need a few more. There was a time when I could go to my local model shop and buy a few of these, but unfortunately it’s closed down. It has three terminals underneath and you can either push it up or push it down. It always flicks...

Following on from the thread about lines or railway attractions that you’d like to visit but haven’t yet, I thought it would be interesting for all of us list makers to have a thread on what you have actually visited? @shredder1 (a man that could probably put a winning list together actually)...

Slightly inspired by some of the things that pop up in this thread: https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/older-cars-you-have-seen.291290/ Lets assume that you’ve got some kind of group insurance policy that covers you for a couple of classic cars on top of whatever you drive daily. Let’s also...

Have any of you good folk upgraded your original car stereo to an Android Auto/Apple CarPlay unit? The original DAB stereo in our VW T5 packed up the other day and I’ve been looking at replacing it with something better. There’s so much choice on the market though and you could spend anything...

Good evening history types. :) Talking to my friend tonight and looking at photos of Moretonhampstead station, we got to wondering what the length track leading on from the run around points to the buffers would be used for? Basically the short length of track beyond the points to the left of...

Rather upsetting news coming in that Lisbons famous Gloria funicular has run away after a possible cable break this afternoon. It’s reported that three people have died so far with more people injured and potentially trapped. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1jzlgj915no

There’s quite a few of these popping up around Exeter at the moment. In the photo below there was previously an old style GATSO camera next to the traffic lights on the left, which I’d always assumed was only triggered if you went through a red light (I might be wrong about that but I’ve never...

It feels like this needs its own thread. I guess we all had a feeling that this could well happen, there’s likely to be all kinds of consequences from this attack though. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cdj9vj8glg2o

I thought it was worth a discussion. The situation in America and Trumps rhetoric over the last few months certainly didn’t seem to help the conservative candidate Pierre Marcel Poilievre. It’ll be interesting watching how things play out with their noisy neighbours, and Carney seems to be...
