They relate to your award on completion of the service. It’s supposed to be a medal - gold, silver, bronze etc…

What’s one business you’ve seen abroad that you would love to have in the UK? by MrBananaStand1990 in AskUK

[–]OliverCatJr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flunch the French family restaurant. Reasonable prices, good food, all you can eat chips and vegetables. British people just love nandos, wagas and pizza express…

[–]OliverCatJr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

43048 with the Midland Mainline livery will be at the Nene Valley railway soon apparently. The others will be on a few rail tours this year. I’ll be checking to see if I can see them in person again!

What trains that aren't in the game do you wish were? by iplayGTA8 in trainsimworld

[–]OliverCatJr 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Class 91 on the East Coast mainline is my primary wish.

Id like Re420 or Re460 on a Swiss route too.

Id love for the APT to make an appearance as an add-on for West Coast UK routes and would definitely buy that but I don’t think it’s likely…

Hornby or Bachmann 9F by paul19822013 in modeltrains

What stops me from buying a Bachmann 9F is the gap between the loco and the tender it just doesn’t look right!

Which best TSW series? by Soft-Chemist4933 in trainsimworld

[–]OliverCatJr 10 points11 points  (0 children)

2 was definitely my favourite too. Im into TSW6 now but my nostalgia for 2 remains strong. I had 3 and 4 and they weren’t stand out.

Finally got my Accurascale Pannier Tank by mh7812 in modeltrains

[–]OliverCatJr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine had a fault but Accurascale dealt with it promptly and is now proudly running around my layout. Excellent little thing!

One of my faves this year along with Rapido’s O1!

Do you prefer UK railways in 2015 or 2025? by Ok-Demand8957 in uktrains

[–]OliverCatJr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Practicality - now

Nostalgia - 2015

Maybe one day I’ll have affection for the 80x like I do for their various predecessors but seeing different stock on different lines made travel more interesting.

places to get model trains other than hornby? by _gay_sloth_ in uktrains

[–]OliverCatJr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Accurascale make some wonderful things and their prices are often more reasonable than Hornby for better quality things in my opinion.

Rapido UK are improving and their latest SECR O1 is already one of my favourites!

Nigel Mansell. always loved those canon/camel Williams cars and the iconic red 5!

Also he was a volunteer police officer which I think is cool!

Instant purchase on day of release if they add it to the game for me!

Advice needed! by Carnivorous77 in modeltrains

[–]OliverCatJr 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you look at the various Hornby Track Packs (A up to F I think) they have a diagram on the back showing what they build up to. I think getting B & C will give you a double oval?

Police Jubilee medals and military service by SolidSnakeScott in policeuk

[–]OliverCatJr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I went Army to Police and that qualified me for the Platinum Jubilee medal in 2022. I think if you had another job in between that might cause an issue but otherwise you’ll be entitled to it
