Yes…..

Local passenger service approaching station and getting ready to stop.....

A Panful of Panniers....?

2776 waiting for the off. Same view bur from a different angle Those stepped brake rods look the part and where well worth the effort..

Lets hand todays pictures over to the Squadron Leader. He decided to see what all the Panniers where up to as they had been quiet for a couple days and you know what they say when that happens? So flying alongside the main line he caught 2276 waiting to turn onto the branch line and 8787 heading east with the local passenger service Banking and turning he flew to Little Muddle and spied the other four in the station yard just lurking, for what? well he couldn't wait to see what happened..... You know what they say when Panniers start lurking!

Don't forget the Pollyfilla as well....!

That needs a bit of TLC....

Mornin' chaps. what you chatting about... Not a lot.... Working out how to get that crate off? Still? At the moment no, more about that scary event what happened a couple of days ago!! Which one was that?? When that brazen Pannier steamed past with that wonky knob on display...... Well, that does surprise me as you all seem men of the world and used to scary sights.... Yes, the sight just made us chuckle, it was the searing scream that Mrs Jones, the cleaning lady, let ripe that made us dive for cover...so to speak! I would have thought she would have been of sterner stuff, to be honest! Apparently not as it reminded her of last weekend and polishing the brass bed head???? Really, the mind boggles!!

A picture from the archives for all of you who are pining for a pannier. When there where five of them.... Need to update this with the new addition added.

Quiet start to the day Encombe Town looks peaceful.

Its funny what you don't spot with the naked eye until you look at a picture... Sometimes it can be very obvious.... Very obvious now you see it????

Here are panniers five and six now all numbered and crewed. Posing for a picture on the main they have now, officially, been registered on the LM loco roster and ready for action.... 2776, open cab version, is a static loco and will be one of my photo props. 8787 is fully operational and was chugging along on the rolling road just prior to these pictures. Just one job to do and that is fit the spectacle brass windows to the 2776 cab that i am waiting to arrive from Phoenix.

A milk tank wagon loading or is it hiding from public view?

General Information Announcement For many, many months now I have been ploughing through this thread from page 1 to reinstate all pictures lost before the hard drive collapse of March 2022. Yesterday evening I completed the task..... In summary: All my main pictures have now been reinstated (as they are saved on my computer as well as the cloud). Most of the mobile phone ones have been as well but there are gaps as sometimes I would take and post whilst in the railway room but not save. Naturally not be able to do the 3rd party pictures.

A wagon.. A brown wagon no less At work somewhere on the system

Wait for the signal and then the next stop LM

Thanks MiniNatur but with odd leaves highlighted in a lighter green.

The stairs.....

Milk for your morning tea just passing by....

Really I’ve just spent an hour looking over that area and I can’t see it? Are you pulling my leg???

Here's an unusual view.... The back of the piggery.

Looking from the farmyard past the gate down the lane that goes over the brook. I can confirm that the Colonel is fishing with his rod and not standing there try to fill the brook!! Looks odd from this angle?

6th pannier well on the way to completion. Now 8787 as this was the only relevant number that 247 Developments had in stock so that is what she became. No issues for me as so long as it was 87xx I was happy. Just buffer beam numbers to add, some weathering to the red and of course the necessary fire irons? Crew in make up at the moment and then they can be added. Is this the last, well who knows as I thought one was enough, then two and then so on to six.......!

And now for those of you suffering with Pannier Withdrawal Symptoms our local photographer (Ken Dobetter) has caught these three whilst waiting for a train....
