All done and most enjoyable. I cannot parse 50 across
Tiresome once more when youth leader departs (7)

I have w*a*i*g so the answer is clear but where does youth leader (Y?) come into it.

I am also unconvinced by the 'bobs' in 68 across, though the answer is evident.

Any thoughts welcome.

Willimaseal, put the Y back into your word, that'd be 'tiresome' too!.

68 The 'bobs' indicates haircuts, I think.

Thanks Malone (as ever)

So once more = same meaning again. Not the most obvious use of the term!

However now all is clear (once more!), so thanks again

Williamseal, glad I could help. The 'tiring' clue wasn't the cleverest, but definitely not a 'bad' clue.

Thanks Malone. I had the wrong scale - never heard of it. One of those non-British things which led directly to Brexit. At least I managed to finish today's Azed without having any doubts about the solutions. That's what I like about Azed - very rarely any grey areas.

All finished apart from 62d where I seem to have a choice of two depending on the 3rd letter (it doesn't help that I can't see a relevant Italian city).

As others have said, far more enjoyable than most of M's previous puzzles.

Simond9x, if I put 'ran' into my entry, I'd have an Italian city, beginning and ending with the same letter. The emperor is Turkish.

Thanks malone. It wasn't in the list of Italian cities that I pulled up earlier. All done now.

Sorry Son1ofrover1 I credited Malone instead of you for the parsing of the model railway clue.
