For a number of years, one of their advertising campaigns involved slogans like "IT'S BRAINS YOU WANT" being painted on the sides of some local railway bridges. They also sponsored the Welsh national Rugby team for a while - with a number of references appearing to their SA bitter. Some of these were cryptic, like the "TRY ... ESSAI" slogan that appeared on some Rugby shirts, as a way of getting round restrictions on advertising alcoholic beverages ("ESSAI" being French for "try"). Anyway, another of their beverages was apparently named after Reverend James Buckley. No - I don't know much about him, either - but I doubt if he would have had too much to do with a certain Colonel Wood, of the Temperance movement. (In all honesty, I don't know much about history, either - but I don't see this getting in my way if I ever get chance to build a layout.) Huw. Nice one Huw, and quite right. Living in 'border country' (Malpas) I can go either way. West, towards the big city, or east, towards Brizzle. Anyways, this kind old gent said we should try the local tipple, and seeing how he's a retired bobby, we thought we'd best try. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne 37901 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 (edited) Well that went quick! Thanks to Brian and Paul for allowing Tunnock Yard to come along in progress form. I was hoping to have the fiddle yard on as well but I'm yet to get the woodwork done due to the crappy weather. At least I held my word and it was operational allowing some movement, albeit limited. Here's a few from me of this great show. Edited January 21, 2020 by Wayne 37901 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your email regarding the US stuff. Sorry I haven't replied yet, just been busy with work, I even had a night shift after the show. I'm off this week though so I'll get back to in the next day or show. Brownsville and Ashland looks very good by the way, I've spent a lot of time browsing the Facebook page.
