Ditto!

Good to see that your model of Woolwinder doesn't have those soppy mini smoke deflectors. Fitted after your period, thank goodness.

 

Very convincing finish on the loco and tender - oily wheels and motion, gleaming paint and sooty front end. Just the job!

Yes, one of Tim's latest and best.

Two more shots of the Scotsman. The first one isn't up to much.

but the next one gets close to what I want with these views from Platform 2.

[31A]

The first one isn't up to much?!  I think it's brilliant!

[great northern]

Before I continue my debate with the flat earth society, all waving their "no change" banners, we will look at the 3.58pm local to Grantham.

The filthy loco almost merges with the gloom behind it, and it doesn't improve much from this angle either.

What this does show is the difficulty caused by the angle of the sun at this time of year.

Arf, Arf!!!!!!

Don’t know about my gran taking the crew(e) for a test run, but I certainly had an aunt who was regarded as having abundantly contributed to Anglo-American goodwill....

The buildings behind the water tower are still extant, in various uses.

 

The foundations of the water-tower and coal-staithes contributed for many years, to the general “Paul Nash” condition of the old car park!

One more look at the A2/1 as it sidles off towards Grantham.

while into Platform 6 comes a KX goods- York parcels, seen from the loading dock by another idiot who likes shooting into bright sunlight.

Nothing done today, owing to sinusitis. Haven't had it for years, so I'd forgotten how nasty it can be.

I hope it wasn’t triggered by certain golf-club members getting up your nose.

Even more.....

9F time again this morning. Two more angles on its progress into Platform 6.

Sorry about the splodge in the sky. The latest version of Paint.Net no longer allows me to remove stuff like that once I have added the sky layer, and it can be very difficult to see before I do that.

This one works a lot better anyway.

Very high/distant flock of starlings?

That would be swineusitis

I thought it were pustules at the moment.

Itchus Scratchus Syndrome. Got more spots than a day at Seaton Junction on a Summer Saturday

Infected sinuses, so strong antibiotics, and patience required while they get to work. Patience also required at the golf club. "Will you call a Special General meeting?" "No, because there is no need for one". "We want to hear why you are doing this, and then we'll decide whether to let you do it" "No you won't, as you have delegated powers to the Main Committee".  "Ridiculous!"  "OK, go read the Club rules please"

 

Later...... "Oh yes, you're right, but will you call a meeting anyway"  "Why?" So we can decide whether to let you do it". I despair.

 

At PN, for a while, nothing was stirring.

But before long there was a cacophony of wheezing and clanking, and another WD duly appeared.

Not from HMP Whatton, although probably the wrong sort of Offenders.

 

It''s just up the road from the Golf Club,however and I quote from HMP website :- "Whatton is a category C prison which holds adult male sex offenders".

 

Sorry "G", No offence intended.

[great northern]

Those are strong antibiotics! At the moment I have even worse glue brain than before I started taking them. I'm sure things will improve.

 

Our man, having first obtained permission of course, has got a new angle by standing between the tracks in the bay.

Then by moving backwards a few yards, he could get WD and 9F in shot together.
