Malcolm 0-6-0 Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 I don't know, and I can't be really certain but naming a fighting ship HMS Prisoner of War seems to have just a frisson of negativity ............... 2 1 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 (edited) They're still conducting sea trials to check for leaks. POW is a provisional name that stands for Put On Wellies. Edited September 22, 2020 by MrWolf 1 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know how life stood still in the 1930's..... particularly when we are talking about such bucolic treats as Little Muddle.... All I can say is that the Manor can't even be going at walking pace..... it's taken over a day to reach as far as the farm.... Isn't Wednesday market day in Little Muddle? I shudder to think of all that produce that can't get through lol My money is on a Thursday arrival.... I'm not saying which Thursday though :-) Lovely scene as ever Kevin @KNP 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although this was over 60years ago I remember it with great affection! Never got bored there even if the weather was bad. Mind you riding on trolleybuses, open topped buses and Southdown Queen Marys, was a vast improvement on the home diet of Bristols and Leylands although I thought them not a patch on LT RTs! Even the Portsmouth Corporation Crossleys seemed vastly better than the motley Luton Corporation versions. Again, SR Spam Cans , schools, and EMUs seemed a cut above the home Black5s and DMUs ! The sea was a great draw with its various Warships, Ferries, Car Ferries and Hovercraft which the River Lea had no chance of matching! Mind you the beaches were nothing to write home about. He Ho, those were the days, hope you have had a great time Kevin, even if that aircraft carrier blocked your view of the Isle of Wight. Looking forward to 7802's continuing saga once you get home? Travel safe, Best regards Paul 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mulgabill Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Never mind the Manor, or the traction engine, there's a brake van been standing on the main foor weeks! I know why it's there, but, to me it did jar, as being out of place, when the Manor branched off. Just seems highly unlikely that it would have that close ahead of the special.

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted September 24, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 24, 2020 I imagined the brake van was at the rear of a train detained at the advance starter, awaiting section clear. It is thus protected by the junction signal, and the route to the branch being clear, the Manor has set off with impunity. But not a lot of 'go'! 2 4 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
