... but... Some folks prefer forums, some prefer email. Generally the former are in the majority, because on a forum: 1. you can include pictures and diagrams directly on the page. It's said that a picture is worth a thousand words, so that's a lot of typing saved! 2. you can read only what interests you and quickly skim or ignore the rest. 3. there is no risk of viruses, spam or dodgy attachments, and no advertising. 4. many users are unhappy about privacy issues and advertising on Yahoo. But unlike most forums, on this one you can choose. You can go on receiving forum messages as emails -- either via Yahoo, or direct from the forum instead. I have no plans to change this, so if you don't like to visit the forum pages you needn't do so. The only proviso is that you need to register on the forum and visit it if you want to see attached images or download attached files. No personal information is needed to register, beyond ...

... ) and hence its anonymised data and exempt Hi Dave, Unfortunately an email address is an essential part of the forum software. Otherwise it is not possible for members to receive or reset their password, or receive notifications of posts. I have just received a useful email from XenForo about some changes they are making to their forum software to permit compliance with GDPR, which can be assumed to be applicable to most other web forums: 1. The ability to force all users to acknowledge and agree to your Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy at any time, and a log of when they last agreed. 2. A more explicit message about cookies being required for site operation, forcing users to explicitly acknowledge their use. 3. The option to opt in or out of site emails can now be shown on the registration form. 4. When deleting a user, a new option allows the user's content to be anonymised. 5. User's data can now be exported, and imported elsewhere by the user. 6. There is a new default privacy ...

I don't see a problem -- it gives folk a choice. It's important that WHEELS are standardised. But track is built in the privacy of your own workshop and doesn't need to be interchangeable with anyone else's. Modellers can choose an existing track standard which best suits their rolling-stock, radii, and layout circumstances, or maybe invent a new standard of their own. 0-MF at 31.5mm gauge improves running quality and appearance over 32mm gauge for the widest possible range of wheels. It could well replace 32mm as the common standard for all but the sharpest industrial turnouts and curves. regards, Martin. posted: 25 May 2007 21:48 from ...

Hi Peter, It is not possible to see who is currently online on these Templot Club forums. I disabled that feature because it seemed to me to be an invasion of privacy. Obviously if someone has posted a message within the last few minutes, it is likely that they are still online. The list at the bottom of the front pages shows who has visited the forum at least once during the course of the day, i.e. since midnight. It doesn't mean that they are still online now. regards, Martin. Parts of Templot Club may not function unless you enable JavaScript (also called Active Scripting) in your browser.

... knock up a sketch showing the principles. One thing I must have said a thousand times in this forum is that PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT- do not be afraid of making scrap!!! I knocked up this jig just a few weeks ago because I was starting a new layout and wanted to save a bit of time and beacuse I have become a bit (no, a lot) obsesive about accurate track. But for the past forty years I managed by holding the rail on the bench with my fingers! In the privacy of your own workshop, just HAVE GO! Grab a bit of rail and a file and let rip- don't worry if the first fifty go in the scrap- each one will be a bit better than the one before and you don't have to use any that you don't like. Just print yourself a Templot Template and you wil be able to see where they are right or wrong! Hope that helps, Howard posted: 27 Mar 2011 19:22 from: phileakins Cheers Howard- that helps a lot. ...

... have entered a verbal contract. And you will find the popular misquote of Samuel Goldwyn "A verbal contract isn't worth the paper it's written on" not quite true. There is no fixed upper limit of a penalty with a verbal contract... And you would be required to prove you sourced the item elsewhere. With regards to photographs, I believe you are correct that a photo taken in a public place is yours and yours alone regardless of what it captures. However you may find yourself up against local laws regarding privacy, especially in regards to images of children. Also in this current climate those people in private or public organisations tend to be a little over zealous in regards people taking photos... even if, legally, you have done nothing wrong. Unless the boundary of a private property is not obvious, you can be prosecuted for trespass if caught. Which I guarantee will chew up more money than you will make commercially from your photos. And the photos will be used in court to prove the case against you. ...
