  1. Beep the Meep?!?

      I definitely remember Meep the Beep from the old Doctor Who comics in the late 1970s. Think of an evil but cute rodent that is a bit like Pikachu from Pokémon but was years before. I have an idea that they nicked it.

  2. Is that space train in the Doctor Who trailer in INTERCITY livery?

  3. So we've got a Rapido announcement tomorrow, a Kernow announcement next Friday and then the Bachmann Summer 2022 announcement the week after (IIRC). Anything else?

  4. Caught up with Sunday's Doctor Who. As the thread is locked here are my thoughts.

      We've given up on it after more decades than I care to remember. Far too "right on" now, and no fun at all!

      The Three Lyds sounds like the kind of public house a horse would walk into and ask the landlord his opinion of Wordsworth.

      Does The Three Lyds serve evening meals?

      I have quite a few Bluebell locos that seem to have appeared. But saying that having locos the kids have seen in real life helps keep them interested

      Why not build a layout to run them on!

  19. Tomorrow is Black Five Day. Have I got that correct?

  20. Last night I dreamt that a OO gauge model of a S160 was announced. I'm taking it as a sign I shouldn't eat cheese before bed.

  21. Enjoyed the NYMR gala. Getting home today was a bit weird. Chris Ramsey was filming a commedy show about speed dating on a train. They wanted some volunteers to take part. As it sounded like my idea of hell, I declined to take part.
