I hope none of the passengers on the branch line auto train was hoping to make a connection with the express.

 

The driver on the Kingsbridge branch would have waited.;)

Goodness me...

This is a bit busy for Little Muddle..

The timing was perfect....

If I didn't know better I would say this was staged...?

 

Poor old signalman will need a lie down after all that exertion! :D

Do you have to nudge it to get it to move?

 

Only to push back in, a sort of twisting side action of the hip normally works!

One important issue to take into account is to ensure there is nothing on the shelf when you close it.

Unfortunately I had to learn this the hard way as the shelf came with no operating instructions!!!

Well your a man, so you wouldn't have read them anyway!

Ready, steady, go....

Wall to wall loco's

 

I know that I'm meant to be looking at the locos. Magnificent beasts they are with some wonderful coal, beautiful weathering, incredibly realistic crew and everything else. But... the thing that jumped to me on the colour picture was the sheep to the right clearly thinking that it's seen something nice to eat down near the front of the King while the one to the left seems to be unsure as to whether to follow or whether a big noisy smelly green monster is better avoided! :)

 

Fantastic modelling!

Lovely as usual but, with mild pedantic mode on, you’d only replace the signal to danger on the left once the last coach was clear of the points as it provides the locking for the facing crossover ;) Just one of those little details that completes the fantastic illusion. 

Modern fully track circuited lines are a bit different as they have full route interlocking but it wasn’t so common in steam days and probably unlikely at a small town station. Stationmaster, (Mike), knows more than me on GWR practice so there might be precedents ;)

Getting locos parked up like that might might start a union meeting or a good old drivers bitching

What a silly bunch we are.

I thought that read “silly bunts” , bit more appropriate.

Yes, I thought of that after I'd posted - too late.
