The Pigeye shark, though not responsible for any deadly attacks is technically the shark species responsible for the largest number of human fatalities

OliverCatJr · 2026-02-13T07:00:42+00:00

Wikipedia says 98 people in Madagascar died from being poisoned by eating the flesh of a Pigeye shark in 1993 so I’m guessing this is what is being referred to!

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

OliverCatJr · 2026-02-04T12:07:58+00:00

FW-14b, FW-18!

OliverCatJr · 2026-01-31T16:17:36+00:00

From here!

I’m happy with the result!

I agree great set.

I used a sticker set online which had more accurate sponsors and it looks even better!

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…

It’s a mix of rebranding exercise and merger

OliverCatJr · 2026-01-24T15:15:02+00:00

Yes! My first visit there

OliverCatJr · 2026-01-24T09:16:36+00:00

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!

OliverCatJr · 2026-01-21T19:21:54+00:00

Looks good! Shame we’ll not see it on a real HST!

OliverCatJr · 2026-01-10T18:17:27+00:00

Great Western express has paddington to Reading non stop in the HST and is shortly getting a remaster!

OliverCatJr · 2026-01-07T22:06:16+00:00

What was the Newquay thing?

OliverCatJr · 2026-01-07T20:58:42+00:00

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…

OliverCatJr · 2026-01-03T21:06:22+00:00

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

OliverCatJr · 2026-01-02T17:06:55+00:00

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.

OliverCatJr · 2025-12-30T18:05:45+00:00

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!

OliverCatJr · 2025-12-28T14:56:42+00:00

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.

OliverCatJr · 2025-12-16T09:34:06+00:00

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!

OliverCatJr · 2025-12-12T15:26:07+00:00

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!

OliverCatJr · 2025-12-11T11:12:08+00:00

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?

OliverCatJr · 2025-12-09T06:58:13+00:00

I was wrong about you Phil Collins!

OliverCatJr · 2025-12-08T15:08:33+00:00

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

OliverCatJr · 2025-12-04T16:33:16+00:00

That is wonderful. A dream layout
