I created a picture of the train platform I'd like to build for Train3. It does impinge on the generally excepted clearances, but I think its low enough that it shouldn't cause a problem with anyone's trains. Its designed to line up perfectly with (...)

As Mattias and Chris have already touched on it, Friday's dinner was one of the best dinners (I think, since I've been going).

Nice poster, Calum. Anyone think it's sinister that the block featured prominently in the foreground is, in fact, NOT a standard competition block? <scary music> Hmmm. (...)
