If this degenerates into further "stack talk", I am going to look for a Southern Railway version of Little Muddle...

 

I've looked in vain - do tell if you find one, but LM is a hard act to follow

[KNP]

And as a change here is the Railcar crossing the viaduct.

 

[KNP]

Right then.

Lets play hide and seek.

You go off and hide somewhere.

And I'll hide behind these columns......!

 

???

 

[Ponthir28]

To quote an old school report of mine. Must try harder.

[KNP]

Lets start an adventure today.

Let's go on....

 

The slow freight to Little Muddle.

 

So to start off, courtesy of the Squadron Leader, we start our journey at Encombe Town station where our train is waiting for the off.

The star of our adventure will be 9319 and some of his mixed freight wagons friends in tow.

Passengers of Railcar No.8 get ready to wave us off.

I didn’t realise trains had different speed classifications. I thought everything was slow.

Slow

Very slow

Imperceptibly slow 

Nearly stopped

and then

LM speed.

I note that you didn't hint at which Christmas.

With immaculate timing the Squadron Leader swoops over the station just as the slow freight departs!

It was almost as if he knew when it was leaving.

 

Let the adventure begin.....

I get easily excited. So I might have to go back to bed for a little lie down.

Don't worry we'll let you know if something exciting happens - a week should do it.

IIRC the tie bars were replaced with metal rod.

Being Little Muddle, is there any other sort of freight train ?

Roof been fixed many a time.

Clearing the bend behind Middle Farm the train rolls slowly onwards

 

[Ponthir28]

It’s hiding better in the trees . Than when it was hiding behind the columns.
