Nice work Andy, looks good - the paving slabs are particularly effective... no bus? Presume its one of the three that will be along shortly Rich The first Bus crashed into a Big Hole that the Workforce had dug in the wrong place. The second bus was diverted and accidentally went under a Low Bridge. And the Last Bus is still in the Depot as the Driver was on the first Bus that went down the Hole in the Road that should not have been there. SO,,,,, there would be No Point in you looking for the Workforce to build your Point, as they were busy filling in Holes that should not have been there, and propping up a Bridge that was lower than the 2nd Bus, and waiting for the 3rd Bus to get to you that was still in the Depot waiting for the Driver that was still on the first Bus sitting in a Hole in the Road.

I also enjoy using it, so it won't be sold just yet I don't think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted January 8, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 8, 2020 Yo Andrew Have you seen all those pretty coloured class 66s that Horny are going to make?

Yeah but, ''A'' There Hornby, so are Ex Lima in all but Motor, and still no lights I believe, and ''B'' far to new for my Era mate, it would be like sayin you could run VIrgin Voyger as its a DMU on your Train Set. I did have a quick scan through, but saw nothing to excite this Old Fool. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but, no but, not for this train set but another one in the future where lots of pretty coloured sheds might be to your liking. As for your suggestion about a virgin Voyger....what is one of them? I am all excited about a BR class 2MT 2-6-0, a Coronation Scot coach, an FK maybe and a BR Mk1RB. But not the only green diesel, the Brush Type 2 I have enough of them. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
