Correct. 

I must advise that the roots of this purchase, which, for the record, is therefore not my fault, lie fairly and squarely with my dear late Aunty May. Its based on a  present received for my seventh or eighth birthday from her  which is still in my possession.

Nor do I but I seem to recall that there might have been a rugby song...

Mary had a little lamb

The doctor was surprised!

But when Old MacDonald had a farm

The doctor almost died!

To expunge doubt and avoid drift.....

 

Dear Aunty May........

 

I shall be settling down with a cup of tea and a biscuit or two, prior to  rewinding the clock back somewhat..

Mary tried to put it back in again.

You need to get out more.....

[MrWolf]

I can visualise it.

I can almost smell root vegetables.

And is that the distant sound of banjos? 

 

I remember sleeping in a van in a layby just outside Diss and being woken by a police officer very early next morning. 

Once identification had been provided, I was asked where I was heading?

Framlingham says I

Oh, we don't go down there she said. That's banjo country!

[Gilbert]

Framlingham had a very interesting branchline.....worked by J15s apparently...

My layout is small features J70s AND a j15 so we know it is possible.

 

You know you want to!

Which is oddly enough exactly where we were headed. A friend has for many years run his vintage motorcycle business from the old station.

Matter of debate....they look much smaller when they are weathered...

It was a J15 that once aroused my interest in things Eastern. It ran beautifully, smooth and silent. It was the most difficult decision I've had to make about railway modelling, but it had to go (along with many others) in order to make room for Easton stock.

 

 

Its place was taken by a Wainwright C Class, though, so it wasn't (quite) the end of the world.

 

Whatever you choose (have chosen!) to do, Rob, it's going to make for interesting and, most probably, entertaining reading.

 

What is it they say these days? Bring it on. Or is that already out of date?

[NHY 581]

Hi , Mick. 

 

That is a lovely job of weathering. I do like the J15 and I do see another example  coming my way. Both of mine were lovely runners. Hornby incidently are having a clear by the looks of things. They have them reduced. 

 

Initially, however, I see a J70 arriving soon ( its on its way ) and we shall take it from there....

Mary had a little lamb,
Its friend was an old duck.
Their favourite pastime was to roll
around in lots of dirt.

 

(I couldn't think of a word meaning unclean thick viscous matter that rymes with duck.)

Was to roll around in muck"
