Also set up the old telly from Mum's bedroom with DVD Player, so I can now watch some Videos whilst working.

When I was a kid my Dad had a traveller and we were on holiday with it in Bournemouth one year we went across the chain ferry at Sandbacks and my dad felt the gearbox give. He exclaimed that it was about time to change the car which he duly sold. Several weeks later he heard that the gearbox had gone!

 

Good times!

Thanks Chris for the very kind words, and yes I am enjoying playing with it, as it has some interesting moves available.

BUT equally I'm enjoying my ''OO'' Layout, New Mills, and that too has a lot of operational interest in a totally different format.

And the Lunchtime pic for today is 13003 shunting a Catfish and VAA back into the Exchange Sidings.

Back to a Rat for this teatime pic today, plus the Daffodil yellow and white Ford Anglia like I once owned.

And the last pic for tonight, yes it's that Duff again.

It's National Dirty Diesel Day down here in Seven Mills Sidings.

 

[Andrew P]

Off to Portsmouth tomorrow for a long weekend and will be calling in at Didcot and Eastleigh for some spotting and hopefully some pics of the current scene now.

[Andrew P]

I came to Portsmouth Thursday pm rather than wait until Friday, as the weather was going to be better.

 

Before leaving I spent Thursday morning having a run and taking some pics, here's a couple.

Only managed to buy one OO Wagon today though.

How's about a Tracked then Boy?

[Clive Mortimore]

It is another nice photo, well done old fella.

[gismorail]

I'm confused !!!!!!.........or even ....I thought you had gone to Portsmouth  Andy  ????? why do you keep going home to take photographs of the layout !!!!!! and you must have broken all the speed limits to 'pop' home just before the wedding ........I know as a keen contributor to these hallow pages you give us some wonderful inspiration but  to travel these long distances to show further wonderful scenes does show considerable commitment  to the cause , or even a possible award
