James Harrison Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 (edited) It is a little known fact that North West Region No.1 was seconded to Dundee for a spell ... How is a loco driver to keep an eye on what's ahead when he's too short to reach the spectacle plate? Or- and this is just a wild guess here- is this from the RWS story where Thomas gets hijacked by the Cottingley Fairies, which was suppressed by Warehouse 12?

Nearholmer Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 (edited) Since we are onto fairies, and haven’t had a painting for a while, here is one of the many pre-raphealite Morgans, in this case by Burne Jones. She looks a tad moody for someone you’d like to find at the bottom of your garden. Good to see that she carries a crash-helmet, though; wouldn’t want her riding here motorbike without one.

RMweb Premium Northroader Posted May 14, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 14, 2018 Is that a cannabis leaf she’s chewing? Very dodgy fairy, especially without stuff like wings and pointy ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nearholmer Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Doesn’t look like one, and more likely to be some native plant. Complicated woman, Morgan, and definitely not yer average Disney-fied fairy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hroth Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 It is a little known fact that North West Region No.1 was seconded to Dundee for a spell ... Didn't realise that Salvador Dali did a stint on Thomas..... (Given the ropey draughtmanship, it might almost be a Lucian Freud!) COR look at the a a a ask her if she has a sister will you.

RMweb Gold Regularity Posted May 14, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 14, 2018 Never quite realised just how weird the proportions of Thomas in that picture were. Also, the rail appears to be collapsing under Thomas' rear wheels... Quite a lot of weight on Tinkerbell's rear-end, too, come to that. (That is an observation and definitely not a complaint!)

Edwardian Posted May 14, 2018 Author Share Posted May 14, 2018 (edited) Clearly, I am going to have to distract you lot with some modelling. And it won't be a moment too soon! Edited May 14, 2018 by Edwardian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Annie Posted May 14, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 14, 2018 Yes they made proper motorcycles back then. Excellent pictures and thanks for sharing them. When I started riding motorcycles I got endlessly told by my Mum about the chap up the road who had a motorcycle and hit a lampost and had to have a steel plate put in his head. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I started riding motorcycles I got endlessly told by my Mum about the chap up the road who had a motorcycle and hit a lampost and had to have a steel plate put in his head. I only remember going on a proper motorbike once. I used ride my dad's moped and Vespa along our country vicarage drive, but only went on a former school friend's bike once. I remember it for two reasons. It had a silencer made with two pressed steel plates for the outer casing. Sitting on the pillion, with my hands holding on under the seat, the bike back-fired and the rivets popped out and a load of muck that had been between the plates blew out and across my right knuckles. We had earlier been out to a local farm and bought a couple of decidedly cloudy, large bottles of scrumpy, which I held on my lap on the way home. This was in the 1960s - no crash helmets then. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
