Popular Post Mrkirtley800 Posted September 21, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 21, 2019 Just back from hospital after an 18 day stay. Found to have a pretty nasty infection in my replaced knee that, apparently, could have been life threatening. I thought it was a bit more swollen and painful and as soon as our Nurse Practitioner saw it, she bundled me off. Now home on long term antibiotics, and if they don’t work, it means another op. So no modelling for a while. I am beginning to believe I have seriously annoyed somebody “up there”. Derek 1 25 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baz If those annoying ads that pop up on almost any internet site are to be believed - the answer has to be yes. But being married to a doctor I suggest you follow the expert medical advice you have been given. [Even if I do not!] All the best! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Mrkirtley800 Posted January 8, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 8, 2020 (edited) It is a long time since I even opened my thread, due to some rather serious family health problems. However, on Boxing Day, I ran the 9.55 ex Leeds Wellington, using our new loco. Despite the layout not having been used for over a year, save to briefly test the engine, it ran well. the thing, or things, that didn't run well were my knees and after a brief operating time, I retreated into the warmer part of the house. I did manage a few pics showing the engine at the buffer stops at Kirkby Malham, and also the 1757 class 4-4-0 running down to top up the water tank at the platform end.

Popular Post Mrkirtley800 Posted January 8, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 8, 2020 (edited) I don’t have a number fixed in my mind as yet, but 1809 may fit the bill. Certainly more investigation is required as to the number. Derek On 08/01/2020 at 22:30, Barry O said: Lovely locomotive ..and a proper crimson one. Hope that you and your good lady see good health over this new year. Barry Thank you for that Barry. Unfortunately, Olga has been quite ill over the period, and we thought that Christmas would be cancelled in our house, that is until the family took a hand. my eldest son came on Christmas Eve with a partially cooked meal, turkey et al, and cooked a delicious dinner for us on Christmas. Day. He left on Boxing Day and our daughter arrived. They actually passed each other on Pickering roundabout. she did a full supermarket shop for us as well as producing some super meals, and then went home on the Sunday. It was all such a wonderful surprise, almost a lovely present in itself, especially when you realise he lives 220 miles away and she 270 , and they both have families of their own. Our youngest son had really gone to town on presents too, so it actually turned out to be a Christmas to remember.
