& @KNP Hiya both - please could you re-send? It transpires there are a number of messages not reached me over the past weeks/months and similarly some of my outbounds not reaching their destination, despite nothing being indicated to the contrary in my email client. What I do know is that my inbox is constantly teetering either side of above the permitted limit (it does have some leeway above the advertised limit) on account of constantly receiving large attachments day/night, and it's not uncommon that I have to take out 2 or 3 hours just to clear down particularly heavy attachments just so the inbox can continue to - allegedly - function as normal. I apologise for that.

Steve

 

Thanks for the heads up about your new transfers for WKT.

These have now been ordered.

Is there a reward for finding the Panniers?

[The White Rabbit]

Dead or alive? 

[Winslow Boy]

Preferably dead if I have anything to do with it.

Now's the time to get stuck in. If you leave it you'll have the bindweed running rampant and nettles popping up everywhere.

You don't have to find them - they will find you!

That's what I'm fearful of.

You have been warned

 

Your worst nightmare has been answered....

 

6 Panniers and a Puffer

 

 

Now please sit down and take a deep breath.

I expect it was the Puffer that threw you over the edge?

6 Panniers steaming

5 Sheep a grazing

4 Pigs a sleeping

3 Crates unloading

2 Boats in harbour

And a lonely door on a loco shed

Well they say every cloud has a silver lining and in this case it's at least I know where all the panniers are.

Have you send the Panniers?

Concern raised as they appear to be missing

Our roving reporter goes on search to find them!!!

Keep reading for latest news

 

When I read this I immediately thought the Panniers might be missing in action.

 

But then, as this is LM, I realised I was just missing inaction. . . . .

Class 5700 nearly 900 built. Must be a lot more lurking.

[Limpley Stoker]

Are we to see some shipping action as a diversion from all this panniermania?

But are you sure there are only six Panniers and when the Prairies come out to join them you will be well and truly 3F'ed and in an 'ell of a mess. 😇

According to the Wolf - Spiers theorem of vintage motorcycles, Pannier amendment (Revision B):

 

You need another Pannier.

Good morning folks,

 

As an adherent to Mr Wolf's theorem I have managed to collect 7 Panniers so far, but moved on my 2 kits to make room for a couple of Bachmann prairies (1 x 45xx and 1 x 4575) plus a Hornby 61xx.

All eBay buys, which seemed to be bargains at the time.

 

However, the force is still strong and next year should see the arrival of number 8, the Accurascale 57xx.

Which may make the others look sad 😢

The Bachmann ones will still soldier on though, and the Rapido 15xx is slowly building up mileage on my test track whilst the shunting layout takes shape (layout thread to follow shortly).

 

Cheers, Nigel.

 

Edit 1: Layout thread now started in the Micro Layouts area, under the title of Courthouse Green Goods.

It will not reach the level of Kevin's scenic delights, nor those of Bethesda Goods, Aston-on-Clun, Stoke Courtenay or Rob G's  amongst many wonderful inspirations.

Edit 2: Just to be contrary, my layout thread shows a B4 playing with wagons various, kit-built and RTR (Rapido, Kernow).

No, keep taking the panniers and you'll be fine.
