This weeks (Monday 29th) was one of the better ones IMO.
But the trailer for next weeks episode will no doubt have Frank Hornby turning in his grave! Seems that daft guy in the loft is trying to get loads of locos to pull him along!!! Really, what exactly does that do for the hobby other than make it look extreamly immature?

I understand now why they cost so much.

They were 2 shillings (10p) when I first started making them. Came in a plastic bag with a stapled cardboard top. Prices started going up when they began putting the kits in full cardboard boxes

That was possibly the best episode so far - probably due to the lack of ridiculous content. Well, until they showed the trailer for ‘next time’.
Loved the out of the box thinking by the Vampire designer and I was quite taken by the Playtrains products - maybe time to start brainwashing the grandkids.

An amazing looking aircraft the Vampire. R-

My first contact with an operational RAF jet was at ATC summer camp at RAF Bassingbourne, Cambs (now an army barracks). 1958 and I'm 14 years old helping refuel one of these! It was probably around this time I decided that I was going to "join up" which I did a couple of years later. Still think the vampire and venoms are a lovely looking aircraft though my subsequent service involved very much bigger ones!

Most of its fuselage was made of wood much like its stablemate the Mosquitoe.

I presume you mean that Sam chap?
I have caught up online tonight and lo and behold we had to endure JK with upside down project and the equally boring Everard Jnct with his scrapyard yawn, I think I should get in youtube I would be a sensation considering I'm boring, dull and uninteresting!

Why fill the show with such rubbish when they could use the race to beat Hattons with the Genesis coaches or Rails with the Terrier

You are one episode behind. There was one last Monday 29th Nov, that is the one folk are referring to.
You could use UKTVPlay which is free and has the latest episode very quickly after broadcast. If there is a repeat broadcast then it appears when the repeats have finished.

It's transmitted on Mondays at 21:00 then repeated on the following Saturday at 14:00 or can be viewed on catch up. Yesterday TV channel. This weeks episode is called Vampire.

Yes I watch them on UKTVPlay but as I watched them early evening (Monday) it hadn't appeared, I'll catch up tomorrow now.
Thanks
