There are also reports of a convoy of railway enthusiasts travelling down the M5 stopping at every service station asking for directions to the Fabled and Lost Empire which was once Cullompton. Some were displeased that only burgers in baps were available and no "real" fish and chips to be seen on the menu. Whatever next ? Now Cullumpton should not be confused with the nearby Stogumber, which as we all (?) know is the home of Wessex Wagons. Which takes us neatly back to Wrexham where the wagons are (were?) made. Almost Mornington Crescent. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve W Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Further afield and much more appetising than Cullumpton (I find large portions heavy on the stomach) is the hamlet of Cow Roast in the civil parish of Wigginton, Hertfordshire) There does not appear, fortunately, to be a Mutton Roast. More importantly, I am advised that Model Railways Direct (no connection) are presently offering Hornby R7122 Sheep at a 99p discount. An opportunity to fill the fields of Mutton Et al. with a very rare breed of standing-still sheep. Steve W 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post NHY 581 Posted April 13, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted April 13, 2019 (edited) By way of an update on the modelling front, Norman popped into Bleat Wharf and secured a couple of images. Not a great deal going on but at least Norman found a nice route to get there. Note Norman ' s new motor, Biggles, a Standard Flying 12. Murray has been retired and awaits a fettle and a well earnt rest from chasing steam trains. Rob.
