But are you sure there are only six Panniers and when the Prairies come out to join them you will be well and truly 3F'ed and in an 'ell of a mess. 😇
-
At least Pannier is more polite than 3F's!
-
Planning meeting with the panniers!
-
Well I didn't even think of that joke so we will just have to blame someone's dirty mind!

At least then there was the choice of two channels or the off button. Now we have goodness knows how many channels and my wife doesn't seem to know there is an off button!

Epping Ongar Railway Gala - April to May 2024
Chris116 replied to Scale7JB's topic in Non-modelling Events
Spent a very enjoyable Saturday at the Steam Gala. Below are a few of the photos I grabbed during the day. Sadly my one shot of Lady of Legend was blurry. Pitchford Hall at North Weald. Leander at Ongar. L150 at Ongar. Isabel at North Weald. -
Only six Panniers! I think you need to order some more, a bakers dozen would be a reasonable starting point. 😁

I went to the second day of the Mid Hants Steam Gala today catching the 0722 from Wimbledon and got a nice surprise when I got to travel as far as Surbiton in this unit! Picture taken at Surbiton. Sadly I could not get the front of the unit due to the platform barrier. -
I spent 20 years as a Travelling Ticket Inspector and 17 as a Guard on the Mid Hants Railway. During that time the number of people who could not open or close the doors on the carriages was amazing. On at least half my duties I met people who were pushing the rubber door stops in an attempt to open a door! On one occasion I was asked by a teacher, who was leading a school party, to close the windows and turn the air conditioning on as it was too hot. She was most upset with me when I explained that having the windows open was the only air conditioning that Mk 1 carriages have. I have travelled widely on other preserved lines and witnessed the same behaviour at most of them. The public do not understand Mk 1 doors and unless the staff watch them carefully they can cause a dangerous situation at any time on a journey.

Panniers will win with no blood anywhere. Just a lot of Jinty's sulking as they rust away.
-
down hill all the way.
-
I have teeth and claws that I will use to explain why I should not move if you don't understand the look you are getting.

The more panniers, the better.
-
Pannier in GWR Green every time.

I was guard on one of that coaches trips along the line with the crane. It was a fairly rough ride and the inside of the coach made the outside appear brand new! I don't think any of the windows were plated over, just painted. -
crates not being emptied!

It is NOT a model, it is a Muddle Railway.

Panniers are never up to no good, they are always good.

The engine shed has two doors, just that recently one of them has not been on the hinges!
