Thanks. Enjoyed that Andy. Brings back memories of shunting CCE wagons on weekday mornings making up trains for the weekend engineering jobs. Back in the 80's we would have 25 to 30 trains booked out of the yards on a Sat/Sun. All the loco's would arrive on Fri/Sat overnight and we had a 1900-0400 Sat turn attaching loco's to the respective trains ready to go out. 

They were mostly 47/33/73's.

Yeah, it would look good if you can ignore the 20 year gap to the rest of the Stock.

 

I refer to rule 1 of railway modelling!

 

Nice to see you another video appearing. I will catch up on that later.

That would be stretching things a bit far Andy, but we will see.

That sounds like a Spotters dream location, which Yard was that?

Those are very 'nice' oil drums- no dents, bangs, signs of rust or even scratchs

There is now, well no rust or dents, but a bit of individuality.

 

Same with the figures I have re done the shirts, got rid of a few helmets and added some beard to the one wearing the face mask, after all this is not 2021 YET.

 

They then ran off down to the Stream in the Woods.

There's something a trifle sinister about this photo. Hopefully its just some sort of ghastly team bonding session and not them caught in the act of disposing the senior leadership team. 

 

Edit: could be both of course. I've certainly been tempted.

Haha! I’m a bit worried that the senior leadership team have already lobotomised one of their minions.

A couple of Spotters, I think?

That looks a bit suspicious to me. I hope what ever he is holding does not have any smell of chloroform! With the dark glasses, he looks very sleazy! I would not be surprised to see the Old Bill turning up at Seven Mills tomorrow!
