This morning on shed for refuelling 37405 & 26032..... I believe in real life none of the split headcode Class 37's were painted in this livery but I think it suits the class.

Well now the sun has finally shown its face so I will find something else to do in the lock down situation.... Already cleaned the windows, mowed the lawns so a little me time I thinks......

 

Well 25307 has arrived for a splash & dash, an unusual visitor to the area, must have come in on an overnight freight.... I see the depot is having a delivery by the view of the old Bedford CA van in the background, maybe it could be the boss coming in on a Saturday??????

The Boss man did turn up yesterday hiding around the back of the depot, still don't know what he's looking for though....

I do rather have a soft spot for a 26! I, also like you spend all year in shorts! Trousers/jeans only come out for work, Weddings etc or meals out!

That's good news and relief for you and the family...... Good news that you are getting back into your modelling, looking forward to a the updates when they come along. As for decorating good luck on that one but I have to agree with you the amount of rubbish we tend to hoard is unbelievable and always thinking that we will use it one day....

 

It may feel weird at the moment with no tourists but hopefully that will change in a few weeks time and the world will get back to some normality ;)

Well back out in the garden as the weather is heating up once again.

 

So to start with D0280 Falcon is on a proving run in readiness for a mainline certification so over the summer months it will be used on some rail enthusiast specials.

Next up is 45144 Royal Signals on van traffic back to Ayr Road Sidings so it will give Sid the shunter something to do providing he's finished his rather large mug of tea.

This morning whist having a day off from work in lock down land (where I seem to spend more time on RMWeb) was spent flitting in between the garden and the garage.

 

47711 Greyfriars Bobby is waiting for the road from the sidings at Ayr Road to the loop.

In the garage 40099 is on shed and is polluting the atmosphere by starting up, nothing like a bit of clag ..... never harmed anyone :good:

Treacle, yes that's the name of the neighbours cat...... She'll just stay in situ and wait for the train to come right up to her and then she'll reluctantly move....
