ozzyo Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Hello George, some nice photos from the E.L.R. about the only one that makes me think is that right is the one showing the tender of 76084 with the lining set a long way from the back edge of the tender.

ozzyo Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Hello George, it did have me going as well as I did not think that it was correct but knowing the lads and lasses at the East Lancs. I had a bit of a look at some photos on the puter and came up with this one copyright unknown. It still looks odd thought. OzzyO. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcus 37 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Morning George I heard on the news this morning that Costa Coffee's profits have taken a nose dive due to the unexplained rise in the use of their wooden coffee stirrers. Seriously though mate more great work. The G6 looks superb. Cheers Marcus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeT Posted March 27, 2017 Author Share Posted March 27, 2017 Hello Marcus, Thanks for dropping in l too worried about Costas profits with the large amounts of stirrers going missing so l bought a box of a 1000 stirrers (£4,95) on flea bay as l have quite a few wagon to do for friends, also while at a big Sunday market in Manchester l found some lovely weights nice and cheap ideal for weighing my wagons down.... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't wish to stir things up mate, but that's a weight off your mind, not having to go into Weatherspoons every morning for Breakfast just so you can GRAB a handful of stirrers.
