Why is his willy coloured?

 

He dips it in Di.

In between blizzards at the Malachite Green and Sunshine Yellow Hospital for Sick Bullieds, this 72xx was sent outside for a brisk constitutional...

It's looking good and anyone tempted to fit the Brassmaster's etch can see here the result.

It was wise of you not too, the young Spam Master has colleagues friends of the Malachite Green & Sunshine Yellow Striped Robe wearing variety and they do make prisoners very scream loudly guests really welcome.

The blue King looking rather splendid in better weather on the SVR today.

Its surprising that by now there has been little comment on the blue colour on the blue King!  Looks like they got away with it

Just before the wedding, Lady Di had an upset stomach. The chemist suggested she try Andrew's, to which she replied "Hang on a minute, I haven't even tried Charles's yet".

 

I thank you.

I would have said 'what new announcement from Minerva?', if I'd realised properly what you were on about yesterday.

 

As it is, I've seen a new announcement thread on the main forum page, so I'm popping off there now to have a look.

[Captain Kernow]

Well, I've had a look and I'm very happy to read about the new Manning Wardle.

 

Can't resist a cute little industrial for one of my outrageously improbable light railways or industrial concerns.

I do hope it is better than a certain Austerity 0.6.0 from a Dave person. My yellow peril has died after only about 30 minutes running. Pah!

I've just heard the sad news of the passing of Ben Brooksbank. I've always liked his photos and particularly this Castle shot.

 

 

 

 

Limpley Stoker will be pleased to see the coupling stowage.

Commiserations, old chap.

 

I'd be interested to see what the innards are like, and how easy it is to put a substitute motor in one of these, as I bought an unpowered one from Chris at Kernow Model Rail Centre at last year's Taunton RMWeb event. It's a rather fetching WD blue, but it needs a motor.

Indeed! I was wondering whether there was some logic to which side the coupling should be stowed- it does appear to be quite random on some classes, but the majority seem to dress to the left. I presume there was a stowage hook attached to each buffer. A lovely picture to remember Ben Brookbank by.
