Personally I think it's side effect from being exposed too many Panniers. Never touch them myself. I lie, as somewhere I have one - w outside cylinders, I think. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstly you will now have to manhandle it out to turn it round and they are quite heavy. Second if it rains (I know, I know it doesn't in LM) you will have a cart full of water. Those two bits sticking out at the back are for it to rest on with the shafts pointing to the heavens so that you can easily back the horse between them and harness up. Any rain will also drain out. Please pay attention. 😀 It was the panniers that did, saw them do it. They knocked the shed door off as well, saw one stood next to it... 2 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew it. I told you. You have watch them all of the time. If you let even one of them out of your sight for just a minute they get up to mischief. They can't help it. It's in their chassis's. 1 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't mention that in front of the Panniers as they'll be round there in a shot and next thing we know there'll be doors flying off left right and centre. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favourite GW loco, after another if I can find one, but they seem to be rare as hen's teeth. 4825 I brought new as an advanced order from Hatton's and 4820 of flea bay for £40 a few years ago. I have two Airfix ones but not in the same league for looks. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

autocoach Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 (edited) Today is the celebrated 5th of May/Cinco de Mayo that has become a massive unofficial holiday celebrating Mexican alcoholic beverages. In 1862 a citizen army (a peasant rabble) defeated the French Foreign Legion advancing toward Mexico City at the city of Puebla west of Veracruz. The Louis Napoleon was taking advantage of distraction of the early Union defeats in the US Civil War to extend his empire to include Mexico. The defeat of the Legionnaires at Puebla inspired a badly divided Mexican resistance to fight on and the war with France ended finally in 1867 with the execution of the French puppet Emperor of Mexico Maximilian confirming Mexican independence. Most US Americans have no idea of the background of the Cinco de Mayo but treat this as a great time to consume as much Mexican Beer and Tequila and Mescal (in Margaritas or mucho macho straight shots) as they can. This is accompanied by copious consumption of tacos, enchiladas, tamales and corn chips (UK: crisps made with cornmeal) with hot as blazes salsa sometimes covered in melted very mild cheddar like cheese... Most US Americans actually think this is Mexican Independence Day which is actually September 18 when Mexico was liberated from Spain in 1818. That is a holiday only for those of Mexican Ancestry in the US Southwest and Texas (which was "liberated" from Mexico in 1836.) This leaves many US Americans (not Mexicans or Canadians) in a BIG BIG muddle by the end of the day. Not a little muddle...(the only connection I can find to this topic...)

MrWolf Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Tequila, Mexican food.... Yummy. But not guacamole, guacamole can go and... It's made with avocados and avocados are the food of the devil. Better to eat a damp newspaper from 1965 you found in the cellar. Same flavour. PS, The 48xxs' look great, heavily reworked Airfix version I presume? 1 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KNP Posted May 6 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 6 (edited) Being a quiet bank holiday it was time for the WKT to make a dash along the main line being pulled by one of our friends......the Pannier Close up the business part of the set up, probably the most interesting bit I have ever built with special thanks to Mr Wolf and his pump design that made it possible. Just waiting to hear from Railtec about the transfers, been a while now. Edited May 6 by KNP 34 4 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
