 A micro skirt is often just a belt with delusions of grandeur who got a fancy job title instead of a raise...

 

Reminds me off a trip to Brighton, back in the late 60s, I don't remember much about the skirt, but the undergarment was purple satin.

Morning all, 

 

Aside from a couple of cast L&SWR signs, there's little to identify Bleat as belonging to a particular area or company. 

 

Which means..............

 

What signs?

Spot on. Interesting to note that 68219 does not have skirts on. All that waggly valve gear.

 

The colourised image has red buffer beams  not something the real thing has and I've tweaked the image to reflect this.

This is a stunning colourised photo, as I want to build some inlaid track for my East Anglian harbour scene this is providing lots of inspiration. Thanks for posting.

I know not every reader on this august - hey, and it's only December! - thread reads the Old Car thread, but this was too good to miss. Note the location, and intended destination of the vehicle!

 

That's at Sheepbridge under the Chesterfield to Sheffield Midland main line.

 

It was on it's way to Gordon Lamb's showroom,

Evening all, 

 

Earlier than usual but may I take the opportunity to wish all who frequent this most eclectic of threads the very best  Christmas. 

 

Thank you all for your thoughts, contributions, support and insight offered. 

 

It perhaps goes without saying that this has been the most difficult of years for many, for some more than others and rest assured my thoughts are with you. 

I am optimistic that this most dreadful of situations is resolved and those of us who do once more have the opportunity to meet up next year. 

 

Myself, Norman and The Works Forecat all pass on our best wishes and here's to a Merry Christmas and the happiest of New Years, come what may. 

 

Kindest of regards, 

 

Rob.

Afternoon all. 

 

More traditional motive power for Bleat Wharf today as Norman Lockhart provides us with a portrait of Bagnall 3F 47266 quietly dozing at Bleat Wharf. December 1960.
