I unreservedly apologise to all he good burghers of Keynsham for impuning their impunity.

 

As CK is away modelling or something silly, I think we can afford few more slightly OT shots, I'm sure he won't mind (much).

 

Here are Colin and Reg from their great OB adventure in the summer of 2013.

 

Colin is hiding in the undergrowth outside Titfield church while the other wally is holding another piece of Dave's genius, the original Titfield totem. They are even rarer than a sensible comment on the coming out of Covid thread and worth an absolute fortune I expect.

 

Whoops, hopefully nobody noticed that...:diablo_mini:

Actually, looking at CK's superb modelling, am I the only one to think he's done an absolutely stonking job in making look P4 track look just like OO?

 

The genius of Kernow.

 

OK I'm sorry - at least its on topic though:jester:

Even if he has, which is open to question, he knows it isn’t!

I'm back now and I also thought knew it was Brassknocker, right from the start.

 

What's that bit of paper hanging out of Wally's pocket?

 

 

Oh really, you know perfectly well what that is - a plan for another colliery more detailed than the last!

Goodness me, Cholmondley, you're unusually active on here this evening!

 

So then, what about that colliery layout?

Well, I believe we have all the stock, most of the pointwork, a signal box, station building, - why not?

 

A bit of small scale therapy, not a bad idea..

 

And there are at least two Hymeks ready to roll....

 

Sorry, got to go and roll the pastry out now:P

I didn't know that Bath had any old fogeys left, tis full of young people and money from London, all run by a bunch of greedy trolls and flat earthers from Keynsham, masquerading as the ever so reasonable Ditheral Lemocratz.

 

Not unlike many idylls that were once "local".

He'd have got a part in any contemporary re-make of the film, for sure!

 

 

and why not, they've re-made "The Man Who Never Was" as "Operation Mincemeat" , so it only follows that Titfield (as sacred as it is) should have one.  The Camerton Branch could easily be CGI'd, but as for the cast (excepting those already mentioned) any suggestions?

Oh yes?

 

Something we should know about, Dear Heart?

 

Only my concern for your thread, which is not so much "drifting" as thrusting off into unknown waters of dubious provenance:o

 

So, to pull it back a bit, I picked up my new baseboard materials with Dave yesterday...
