This is my 7th RHTT season here in west Wales and it's always been EWS/DB 66's from Margam as no-one else seems interested in bidding. Am running out of places to phot, so today tried Llansamlet (Swansea). 66.813/186 work 3S62 Margam-Margam.

With the RHTT season underway, you certainly won't see this in 2020 as the Class 20's really have had their final season Choppers to the rescue! by Alan Padley, on Flickr

Surely the Bachmann 2 EPBs were also made in China? The handrails on these seem much finer than the 2HAP (click on photos for larger pic) http://www.kernowmodelrailcentre.com/p/54517/31-380-Bachmann-Class-416-2-EPB-2-Car-EMU-Set-number-6262 http://www.kernowmodelrailcentre.com/p/51205/31-379-WSL-Bachmann-2EPB-2-Car-EMU-Set-number-5771-in-BR-Green

Needless to say there's a prototype for everything. These near vertical faces (don't know what the material is - chalk?) can be seen on the LGV Est just west of Pagny sur Moselle, but there are quite wide trenches beside the line to catch any debris that breaks off.

After that Jim did try to sell up but there were no takers and many customers asked him to reconsider, which he duly did, and he and Elspeth tried - however I suspect it's all got too much in the long term If at first you don't succeed - become a politician.

For info the local club in west Wales is £15 per year plus £3 for each session you attend to cover tea/coffee/biscuits and hire of the village hall and hopefully leave a small surplus. When I joined in 2015 we were averaging 10-12 attendees per club night and over 3 years (no thanks to me) that grew to 15-18, and the club surplus grew steadily and fairly painlessly. Normal club nights are 7pm-10pm. Sometimes we have a working session starting 2pm and going through to 10pm and people attend for what hours they can. On those days it's still £3 for the session.
