    When the GWR named 2905, it was claimed that only they could class Lady Macbeth as a Saint.

    ‘Shew’ and ‘shewn’ were obsolete spellings, but many would be familiar with them from their use in the Authorized Version of the Bible.

    The hair not apparent.

    I believe that first class passengers were entitled to a higher level of compensation in the event of injury. Placing them in the safest part of the train makes a kind of grim economic sense.

    On this Dapol salt van G.W.Rly should clearly be G.N.Rly.

    From what I remember of that gala, on at least one journey the SRM had to stop between Llangollen and Berwyn to raise steam.

    I've never heard it called that before.

    This is the wheelset. I think this is Furlong Road in Tunstall.

    Some 57xx were built by Kerr Stuart, including 7714 on the SVR.

    Random locomotive parts on display seems to be a Stokie thing. I came across a crank axle by the roadside in Tunstall. I think it was from a class 08 diesel shunter.

    Poor old dad - sorry, couldn't resist. Looks good though.

    Are your Talyllyn figures going to include a twelve year old sander?

    The journey took hours, I believe.

    In 1986 I took a car from Dover to Calais on the Herald of Free Enterprise. My travelling companion and I were convinced that with a name like that the vessel was doomed.

    Harpic. Clean round the bend.

    I agree with the OP that the locomotive appears to have 'GWR' on the tank sides. This would date the photograph to after 1942 1942 or after. Miss Prism's excellent site.

    Isn't that an unacceptable racist term? 😆

    When I was a boy, around Guy Fawkes night, we used to put bangers in the 'country pancakes' in the fields behind my parents' house. Fresh cowpats were the best as they were softer and dispersed farther.

    I believe Peter Cook did the same in the Sixties.

    Perhaps to be very, very drunk is the answer.

    The usual headgear was a cloth cap worn back to front, to prevent it blowing off. I heard this from people who grew to adulthood in the 1930s.

    i'd forgotten that Newport rhymes with Rupert, but then it's over thirty years since I left mummersher and I've forgotten how to talk tidy.
