Have to agree about most supermarket "free-from" bread being awful.

I was recommended gluten free bread from a company called Rana's Bakery, which is the best I've come across and all I buy now. https://www.mygfbakery.com/

No connection, just a very satisfied customer.

Hi Chris,

I had the same one yesterday, definitely a scam.

David

The OS model was 5" gauge, a lovely little thing. A great shame that OS stopped stopped making their live steam kits.

Hi Ian

The latest issue I believe is 4706, received here (UK) on Monday 19th December. 4705 arrived with me on 29th October.

David

I see from the Modelu website that they 1/12th and even 1/10th scale figures.

Not cheap though!

David

Where we in the UK, for example, have 5" gauge, the USA and Canada use 4 3/4" gauge instead, so quite normal over there. This is done as it's very close to scale gauge for 1" to the foot loco's.

I use this method, works really well:

Hi Ian,

From the Boxford manual:

To lift the lathe, there is an M16 x 2mm pitch tapped hole in the bed cross bracing, near the spindle nose. This is designed to take what the manual calls a "Dynamo-Type Eye Bolt".

The position of the carriage when lifting depends on the length of the bed. For 20" centres machines, the carriage should be to the right of the eye bolt, and for 30" centres machines, the carriage should be to the left of the eye bolt.

Hope this helps

I find Hotmail works very well at blocking scammers, just the very occasional one gets into the Inbox.

Ian (Circlip), the block facility on Hotmail seems to have changed a while back. If, in your Inbox or other folder, you right-click on an email, a menu box will appear. Down the bottom of the list are the block options (block sender and never block sender). That's what it does on mine anyway, maybe yours will work the same way.

Hi John,

Many thanks for doing this, I have just sent you a PM.

Could you add me to the list as well please?

David

If Ketan were to have a batch made, I would certainly buy one for my Boxford 330!

Hi Martin

Are you a member if the Tom Senior group on groups.io?

Hope this helps

He's just relisted both items again!

What a brilliant video, many thanks for sharing.

I'm definitely going to try that technique.

Hi Lee

I presume you're referring to the headstock oil. If your Boxford is the same as my 330 (X10 series), then you shouldn't need to remove the top cover. There is a filler plug in the side of the headstock immediately above the level window.

Hope this helps!

Yesterday I called BT and renewed my mobile phone contract. In response they sent two emails to my BTinternet email account, saying thanks for renewing etc. What did my BT mail account do with the two emails from BT? Put them in the spam folder of course...

Following on from Mike's post, in the seventies I used to work for RCA Records in London. The saying at the time was: If Typhoo put the T in Britain, who put the ar*e in RCA?

Hi Ian

Funnily enough, the one aircraft that I saw fitted with silencers, many years ago was a PZL Wilga with an Ivchenko radial engine. This was at Lydd Airport in Kent, UK. Probably 30 years ago, but the image stuck in my mind!

There are a few pictures on the internet of Wilgas fitted with silencers. Googling G-BUNC or SP-FZE for example will find some.

I've just found an NZ registered example as well!  ZK-PZN

Hawker Typhoon RB396 is undergoing a rebuild to fly, hopefully in 2024. The Hawker Typhoon Preservation Group have managed to secure a Napier Sabre IIa that will be rebuilt to airworthy condition. A mammoth project by any standards. Really looking forward to seeing that one in the air!
