woodenhead Posted June 28, 2019 Author Share Posted June 28, 2019 (edited) You've got me watching it now, I am interested what is creating all the smoke further back, i saw a glimpse of the locomotive. The mic is picking up someone repeating over and over 'Thomas & Percy are waiting for you', it's like a child's nightmare.

woodenhead Posted June 28, 2019 Author Share Posted June 28, 2019 They've hobbled poor Thomas - he's missing a wheelset and they added outside pistons. Pushing the train out, it's not top and tailed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gerbil-Fritters Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I was having a look at the museum over the road on google... some interesting stuff, and some wrecks. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodenhead Posted June 28, 2019 Author Share Posted June 28, 2019 They're doing an interesting move here, don't think it would pass H&S here in the UK - permissive block with two trains full of children. Thomas just has a caboose up front, Percy has what I think is an Alco (hopefully not an Alci) hauling him. Following each other down the line at quite close proximity.

RMweb Gold Bucoops Posted June 28, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 28, 2019 I've been on the Strasburg a few times - during the summer in the open sided carriages is lovely. We've also done a Santa Special. As much as I like Thomas I do try and avoid "real" railway events with him. I prefer the books and imagination. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've given him an American accent too, the face has animatronics and he was speaking as he departed. And I cannot believe I am referring to a blue lump of metal as 'he' and 'him' Edited June 28, 2019 by woodenhead Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianusa Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 A 'milling throng' was at Blue Anchor late today anxiously looking for a train. Don't know any reason, perhaps a problem, but they were scooped up by the last up train. It looked pretty chilly there! Meanwhile a diesel towing a brake van headed for Williton where they both presumably spent the night. Brian. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted July 27, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 27, 2019 I see the weather is good at the railway today whereas it is p#####g down here in 36E and has been all day. Anyway, there is a GW bog cart shuttle between Taunton and BL during the day. Good cooperation between the Railways there. P Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
