  1. I would love one of the Locomotion GNR Atlantics in BR Black. Not for 280 sheets though. Looks like I’m a bit late to the party on that one!

    1. NXEA!

      NXEA!

      Locomotion are still selling Green ones for £179, but I wouldn’t trust myself to make a decent fist of respraying one!

  2. Could my modelling mojo of well come back?!

  3. Well I Never, a Class 87 at Reading... 87002 LE to Didcot for GBRF railtour. (NMT HST is at Reading too)

    1. NXEA!

      NXEA!

      Brilliant! Looks/feels so out of place at Didcot.

  4. Need to get my mojo back, I’ve done no modelling for 2/3 months now.

      NXEA!

      Or if it’s Hermes look in your black bin... found one of my Clauds in there!

  5. Another box of Tunnocks tea cakes!!!

  6. The Tunnock tea cake must be the finest tea cake in Christendom and I've got a whole box to myself yum yum.

      NXEA!

      I go through a box a week courtesy of my local Aldi. Delicious.

  7. Does anyone know if GWR Pythons were well travelled in BR days? This East Anglian modeller rather likes the cut of the Parkside kit's jib.

  8. Heavy rain today and had to put the heating on this evening. Looking forward to the long winter nights, enough of this summer malarkey.

      NXEA!

      Didn't get above 16 here all day, and very chilly outside tonight.

  9. Considering the reaction on my previous update, are there any fans of the Jaffa livery here at all?

    1. NXEA!

      NXEA!

      I like it. The Bachmann MLV in that livery is lovely.

  10. Anyone with any experience in travelling from Gatwick Airport to Paddock Wood by train?

  11. Ordered my first sound chip, very excited.

  12. Saw the RAF display today. Absolutely fantastic.

    1. NXEA!

      NXEA!

      As did I. My office is near Buckingham Palace and we were able to get onto the roof of the building, so got a great view just as the blue white and red smoke appeared. Brilliant.

  13. Very strange HST on the Cheltenham Spa service this evening, seems to have 2 TGS...

    1. NXEA!

      NXEA!

      Until recently, one of the Summer Saturday London-Newquay turns was diagrammed for a 2+9 HST with two TGS, partly for extra surfboard capacity!

  14. Orange and black, blue and orange or green?

    1. NXEA!

      NXEA!

      Blue and Orange, Jim. They’re on a constant upward trajectory as a company.

  15. It’s the return of the LNER

    1. NXEA!

      NXEA!

      Get the Mark 3’s and 4’s in Teak, HST power cars in Apple Green, and 91/DVT’s in Garter Blue, sorted!

  16. Right. I'm keeping my Barclays and some smaller mainline locos. Everything else is going; I have an overpowering urge to de-clutter my world!

  17. Thalys and Eurostar, very enjoyable. It’s get me everytime, doing 186mph on a train is quite an experience! Roll on HS2 I say.

  18. Christ, just impulse purchased a Dapol O Gauge Pannier. At this rate I’ll be modelling P4 in my 30’s.

    1. NXEA!

      NXEA!

      You got a link to the layout Andy? I'd be interested to see. My OO Gauge layout lives in our bedroom at the moment, so definitely no chance of a second layout at the moment! One day I'll have a railway room...

    1. NXEA!

      NXEA!

      Several people have said that, although I can’t see myself moving to O Gauge properly as I am wedded to East Anglian steam which is only OO at the moment. The problem is I have no layout for the pannier, or space to build a layout for it!

  20. Why have I only just discovered the Dornoch branch?

    1. NXEA!

      NXEA!

      Hroth is on the money - saw the article in Smiths yesterday and now I’m absolutely hooked.

  21. Blimey! AW leaving The Gunners....

  22. Any suggestions for locations where there is a level crossing through the back end of a set of points?

  23. Has anyone used their wife's eye-shadow to weather card buildings and/or rolling stock?

      Whatever you get up to on the weekends is up to you Tony...

  24. Must... resist... O Gauge...

    1. NXEA!

      NXEA!

      I don't have the money or space for it but I'm hooked on images of the Dapol 57xx and Autocoach.
