 I don't think they've said what the 1903 one will be yet. Maybe we should ask, could also help them avoid a potential mistake.

 

Chris is usually on the button about things Great Western but I may have a chat.

A cold but sunny afternoon stroll on the estuary wall catches small prairie 4547 on a local train. More anon. Inspired by prairie action on Little Muddle.

A prarie is always pleasing!

The web-waves have been humming with good advice about exposure, so I noticed that this series of photos lightened as you zoomed in on the loco. Could the soon- to- be - weathered roofs be affecting your exposure?

Prarie power rules, but just the small ones!

 

By the way someone has nicked the oars..but at least the boat is securely tied up.

I'm sure there was a GWR poster that advocated sea bathing in February.

You must finish those steps down onto the beach, big jump and then trapped...…!

May I point out an odd issue, nice tide mark on the stonework but not on the adjoining rock face.....!

Agreed. I'm contemplating redoing the walls on this section and if and when I do this I'll address this anomaly.

How about St Piran and his day  No mention of it yet, or pancakes!   Shrove Tuesday is almost over and St P won't be around for another year!  And shall Trelawny die?

Looking at the diameter of that circle I would say it is an 81xx prairie.

That's a little house and the area looks like Lincolnshire. Good night everyone.
