Just playing silly beggars

Having recently had a couple of holidays, bad back and general lack of energy I've not done any real work on St.Oval for several weeks. Tonight I went to the garage and just fancied running something ........ but what ? few laps with a Baccy 56XX, no didn't feel right, Vitrains 37's phew only just make the 1st radius curves. So I got out Marilyn my favourite loco ...... forget 9F's, Collett Goods, 37's, 47's, 33's, single wheelers, I'm in love with Marilyn !!

 

 

Hope it didn't freeze while loading (I often have that problem) But you must admit she packs a punch, some may like it hot, but Marilyn can do it all !!

True James, Mad as a brush !!

From what I gather very few railway modellers give their locos pet names ........

I just have two that seemed to need names. Both my little 06 shunters.

 

Marilyn came first, so the thinking went thus :-

Blue diesels .....blue movies ???

A true Scots heritage, I seem to recall only one 06 got to England (Tyneside?) Now they take some real hard work to make run well, a bit like climbing a mountain, Ahh Monroes, Scotlands mountain peaks of over 3,000 feet. MMmmm ..... oh yes that fits well.

She has a sexy wiggle as she moves along

Insists on frequent attention, when watched will show off, if ignored will be moody and stop.

To me she just had to be Marilyn.

 

Then I got a green one ...... Duncan, seemed a good Scots sounding name .....

 

As you can see I can't take railway modelling too seriously, if it ever stops being fun I'll do something else !!
