Pannier off to the paint shop as nearly all the fittings added plus the crew has been dispatched!

Just missing the sand box control rods,  had to order some more as the ones I had where wrong…

Actually sorry to disappoint but no.

This is just a base/undercoat to give one tone before applying the GWR green….

 

Sorry if I got your hopes up!!!

Is that the makings of a LCGB brake van special blocking the run round loop - the sort that were run about a week before final closure of the branch...

It's not Gordon it's Duck....

 

Last Sunday was St. Patrick's Day, a very big deal here in the USA (SF Bay Area for me.)  Many  persons are decked out in very bright Kelly Green like this Sodor Lines engine. Leprechauns and four leaf clovers are seen in abundance.

 

The immediate Irish ancestry percentage of the population has diminished and for the most part generally assimilated into the normal "American"  white population. There are still green kilted pipers bands and Irish folk dance groups performing everywhere in public settings.  But the number of people celebrating St. Patrick's Day with absolutely no ancestral tie has increased dramatically. There were even a group Mesoamerican Mayan dancers and a Brazilian Samba school unit along with a Chinese women's  glockenspiel group wearing Kelly green silk outfits in the San Francisco St. Patrick's day parade.   The parade was overseen by the SF Mayor who is interestingly named London Breed and she is Black.

 

The sales of Guinness stout (US brewed using a Dublin made mash) and Harp brand lager are huge. Toasts are made with Jameson Whiskey. And everyone has a corned beef and cabbage dinner on tables set with checkered white and green tablecloths....

So no panniers then.
