  1. Don't forget Peter Leyland, who goes by the name of Gravy Train on this forum.
  2. A brief update on the two P4 panniers, which actually dates from a few months ago now: First of all, here is 7788, which is John F's loco @Re6/6: Here again is John's 7788, alongside my 7741: 7788 was subsequently sent off to @Tom F to be properly weathered as per the prototype 7788 in the early 1960s, when it appeared in photos totally begrimed but with the 'GWR' still obviously legible on the tank sides. I will weather 7741 myself, when the weather improves enough to use the shed. Since the work on the above panniers, I've been busy doing work for our Scalefour area group 'D.R.A.G.', building some points for our new test track, doing some work for 'Balcombe Viaduct' and more recently, working on the two OO panniers I bought from Tony Wright, which will feature in due course.
  3. It's amazing the difference a simple coat of paint makes!
  4. Steve, will there be the connecting bus service from/to Bristol Parkway that has sometimes run in previous years, please?
  5. If we ever do venture so far out of our Authorised Zone of Activity, I'll be sure to make sure we present ourselves at a convenient Essex Police Station for arrest and deportation purposes...
  6. I got taken up the Brocken as a treat by family who live in Germany, a few years ago, one mild March day. The weather was mild and mostly sunny in Drei Annen Hohne at the bottom of the mountain. We got off the train at the top in deep snow, low cloud and mist and a bitingly cold wind! But the ride, that was just sublime!
  7. Great to catch up again, Alex and so lovely to finally see this wonderful layout 'in the flesh', as it were.
  8. Excellent show! Great to catch up with Messrs Gunstone, Warren and Hopper and also Corbs and Mr Bungus Fogeyman. CTMK also enjoyed seeing the layouts!
  9. I think it was the Bristol exhibition in the Victoria Rooms in 1969. I still have the exhibition guide and use it to keep my sheets of transfers in...!
  10. Ben Ashford must have climbed onto the roof of the adjacent factory to capture this view of 5328 bringing a train of Whitecliff Quarry ballast from the Forest of Dean into Callow Lane:
  11. Another Presflo load of cement is picked up from the BR yard for the Army Depot at the top of the Light Railway:
  12. Sorry, my misunderstanding then.
