I wonder if part of the difference is you never spent time as a lad watching the old steam railway unlike me Don Totally agree Don, despite being born in 1950, I don't actually remember seeing a Steam Train, except maybe from a Flat my parents had for 3 Months in Chatham, about 1955 whilst waiting for a House on the Isle of Grain. I think there was a Viaduct when looking out from the Kitchen window, and I do recall smoke. 🙄 And I do know they bought me a TT Train Set for a Christmas present, I gave that to my cousin who sold it on). As far as I know, the only ride behind a Steam Loco was when BP who Dad worked for, did a Kids trip to the Palladium for a pantomime, and I think that was behind a Steam Loco. Once we moved to Surrey, in 1958, and I was Plane spotting at Heathrow, everything was Electric I would think, so no real lasting Steam memories other than preserved lines. The first Steam Loco that I actually remember riding behind was probably Bodmin on the Watercress Line about 1980/81 ish I think. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Bell Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Looking forward to see what your next project is. All in good time I hear you say! I hope it features lots of corporate blue, but that's just me. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, so the claim that every 1950/60s schoolboy was a trainspotter, spent all their spare time at the end of platforms chasing steam is a myth. And you started young with the build em and shift them on then.. I could see your interest waining as soon the Budoc appeared, will the next one still be end to end so you can keep Budoc a little longer? I'd be wary of a return to a roundy again so soon after ripping up the last one. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be a case of wait and see, Trewithen may not sell yet so it could be a year or more before the next one is started. 😥 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winslow Boy Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 So it's all change at Mr P's then I see. I knew you weren't your usual self with this build and with your previous one or should that be plural. Couldn't quite put my finger on it though and then it occurred to me perhaps it was the location. Anyway decision been made so time to move on. So are you going to carry on posting here or going to create new threads for your other projects. I seem to recall one on a TMD but knowing you you'll have another buzzing round in that brain box of yours. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
