If you do then you are getting nearer to my favourite '62 time frame? Not just expresses either Paul, as we see a Standard class 3 82006 on a freight of bauxite liveried vans. Too many nice models that tempted me to model the later period as well as my favoured '47 timeframe. 23 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that Rob, Pictures like that help to win the ongoing battle my model loving self has with my prudent self on the purchase of a Class 3!

RMweb Premium Popular Post 2ManySpams Posted February 12, 2020 RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2020 With kind permission from Sir Robin of Coventry... Time now to own up and confess why there's been little progress for months on Pencarrow... Two reasons really: 1. A spot of domestic decorating (heavy duty variety) 2. I've been in training for taking part in the Spring "Wolf Run" on 4th April. So what's a Wolf Run? (I didn't know either) It's a run through Woods, over Obstacles, swimming across a Lake and more running across Fields. 6 miles in total. What the name fails to mention is mud. Lots of mud, sludge, muck and more mud. For more info and rose-tinted photos see: https://thewolfrun.com/springwolf/ In reality the event is more like this: Just to be clear, I've not done anything like this before and am certainly not an athlete! This will be a real personal challenge for me. Training is happening through the winter months. Bit of a first - running for a reason other than trying to catch the train to work! I've chosen to use the event to raise money for Cancer Research UK because cancer has affected our family over the years - uncles, friends, my father-in-law and my dad. Most recently it has struck my 8 year old nephew, a keen footballer, whose treatment has resulted in a significant mass of muscle being removed from his leg. He's a brave lad that's been through chemotherapy, radiotherapy and operations. If folk wish to support my stupidity (absolutely no expectation or compulsion), my Cancer Research donation page is here: https://fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/chriss-giving-page-655 Cheers all. Thanks Rob. 1 19 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted February 13, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 13, 2020 Big thank you to all on ANtB for your support and the resounding consensus that I'm one dollop short of a mud pie. (can't argue that one) There will certainly be photos although I have no idea how any photographer will be able to identify who is who! With Rob's permission I'll post the occasional update on progress towards the event. All the best. 9 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
