Less of the Micky taking about Essex.....well the Tendering Hundred is OK to take the Micky out of.

[colin penfold]

My magazine of choice is the Illustrated Muddling Gricethusiast.

For me it’s the Model Railway Destructer.  Shouldn’t have opened the boxes.

A heads up for a good all round egg and follower of this thread's Graham Muz's layout, Canute Road Quay, being featured in the April edition of Hornby Magazine.

Great to see Oldddudders getting a name check in the magazine article.

I do miss popping into JD's on a Saturday afternoon. A chat with Pete, and Colin if he was in. Avoiding Ken trying to sell me something I didn't want. And best of all a cuddle from Heather.  Mustn't forget being mugged for treats by the dog.

Just spoke with Heather but they've all long gone Bob.

Still in wartime black livery, we see Newton based 4870 returning to Hackney Yard with some empty cattle wagons.

I hope to finally get to the UK on Weds - I had to abandon last week’s trip due to back problems - so that will be one copy of the mag sold! Thanks for the heads-up, Rob!

Went to the Leamington show this morning and caught this superb Cornish layout Harlyn Pier again, I think it was at Railex last year. A quieter show enabled me to get a few close ups of a certain pannier 4666. Chris Spams wants to model her on his layout,  Pencarrow.

 

They do say a pannier never offends.

 

I thought I saw you at the show. I was helping operate Sheep Pasture but you breezed past!

My apologies John, I do remember the layout but I don't recall seeing your good self. If you had been behind Clinkerford, well that would have been another matter.

It's only taken nearly 7 months to get back to Brent from the works - did it go on a world tour? 

[2750Papyrus]

Great Way Round?

[toboldlygo]

Still much to do on Oil Burner 4855, but I'm now waiting on parts (roof vents) number-plates and a seat to make for the fireman.

 

 

An awful lot of commissions to do this month - so this will take a bit of a back burner.

 

Speaking of which I have built a Cambrian Kits 10T Loco Coal Wagon (the couplings have been changed btw), in my spare time

4666 last Pannier in BR service that I saw....it was at 72A.

Snap, also waiting on number plates and the cab roof vents.  (Thanks for the heads up)

 

the green paint has now been touched up awaiting varnish and weathering.

An awful lot of commissions to do this month - so this will take a bit of a back burner.    See what you did there? Very apt for an Oil Burner.

A little bird tells me he's giving it to me as an early birthday present. Meanwhile, more of 4870.
