Andy, how do the ploughs attach on the 33? Cant find mine at the moment for 33012. Are they separate pieces for the two outer that sit on the bogies?

The ploughs have locating pins either side that go into the front of the Bogie frames as a one piece plough Julian.

He's thinking

 

"Has that young Baggies bloke been around here?  Somebody's gone and

nicked the ploughs. I blame that Peter's bloke, publicising Bench Road, used

to be a nice quiet backwater. Now it's trains all time of the day, or night, and

spotters everywhere" "'Ee even brought a buch of girls round t'other day".

That Anglia looks better clean. If it was full size it would be worth a packet, especially with the plate. All the Best, Trevor

They were a good car in their day, My parents had a dark blue one that I had driving lessons in before passing my test within a couple  of weeks of my Birthday as I worked for a Garage that had its own driving school, (Wadham Bros Ltd, later Wadham Stringer, and now Inchcape).

Gronk, No 08740 playing about on a sunny morning at Seven Mills Sidings.

I'm assuming that Gronk is the drivers name and that 08470 the engine number? Or is it the other way round.

 

Nice sunny morning. No sign of all that rain we've had here I see.

Glorious morning down here on the Souf Coast, and 08's are known as Gronks.

Just a couple of little jobs this morning.

 

Firstly I've toned down the grass a little and added some darker parts between the Tracks to represent Oil etc dropped from Locos.

I do like a 'fine pair 'Andy ......some excellent work on the grass and the facia board wonderful

Thanks Martin, yes a 'fine pair' is always preferable when it comes to Locos, be it a pair of 20's, 37's or the 25's, they are all good in two's.:D

Its alright Mr P I was having a bit of a 'leg pull' about the drivers name.

 

Glad to hear you are enjoying the weather down there. We have been having something called 'sunshire'. Which threw me as normally here in the northwest we don't get that until July at least.
