According to the label on the Sticky Toffee Pudding I think I'm turning into a family of four.

Announcements are like buses. My kit stash had a charmed life for a while then a panelled Auto Coach and Mica B within hours of each other.

I just love summer in the Dark Peak, it's my favourite day of the year.

BoB time again. Spitfire booked for some 'Bradshaw Navigation' Corby Glen to Newark approx 1050 -1100 today

Tonight's Result

Carpet Fairy 0 - 2 Eric.

I've completely lost track of time from  so many things being in limbo. My guess is it's March 232nd

Gone a bit quiet around here, appently the natives are watching some tribal conflict between St. Mark's West Gorton and Newton Heath LYR.

The object of the present task is to glue some whitemetal clasp brake shoes to the secondhand pipe wagon I acquired recently. Result so far is three in place, the other firmly fixed between my thumb and forefinger. Good job I'm proficient with the left-handed scalpel.

Merry Christmas Northern Fail. Half of our trains cancelled again today.

We're back to the adverts for Groovy Lady pictures again tonight. I thought this was supposed to be a family show.

Just spotted Boris. (The RMweb one, not the PM)

Not sure that the Carpet Fairy will accept blame for the tin of Evo Stik missing in the railway room. The search did turn up a tub of Cascamite I lost about two years ago.

Help!! I think I'm being followed.

Thank you to the rotten barsteward who nicked my gloves whilst I had stopped  during my ride on the High Peak Trail today. Those marks down the back are not reflective stripes,  I hope they give you a cold.

Oh Bu$$er. Just finishing off a chassis update on a rake of old wagons and and I am one set of buffers short.

Trying to add a steam pipe to my LMS Pull-Push conversion. So far I have glued the pipe to my thumbnail and a cocktail stick to the underframe. DOH!

Just been told there is some spare money in the pot, is there anything I want for the railway? Don't need to be told twice,

Fifty years ago today since my Grandad retired from the S&T, having started with the LNWR and served throughout the life of the LMS

Amazon please note that although the bush in the plant pot outside the front door may belong there it does not constitute "Handed to Resident" on your delivery status. You have the soggy evidence at your returns warehouse.

Message to Amazon. I willnot be orderng anything from you until you employ a couier who does not think taht throwing a parcel containing a glass item over a six foot fence onto a concrete path during a snowstorm constitutes a 'Safe Place'

Life could get expensive. Just found a picture of 1369 at the shed adjacent to my layout area. Didn't predict the need for that in the budget.

One benefit I get from the current bad weather is some time hiding in the railway room

New bike just arrived for Mrs SE. Time to slip in a couple of new loco orders.
