Would anyone object to seeing something maroon on here today ?

 Not the Parachute Regiment please...............

 

 

(Daphne DuMaurier picked the colour of their berets - her Beau was the Brigade's first commander......they were lucky, she could have been having a lilac or a pink day.........)

Very nice vehicles are the Hornby Staniers but those rooves need toning down, they're far too bright/ex-works/silvery coloured.

Odd how Margate can get the Maunsells, Staniers and Colletts right, but made a bit of a pig's ear of the Eastern Railway carriages.

 

Back to the diesels ...

What we need is the summer timetable Glasgow to Plymouth. About 14 LMS 'bogies' for you there Rob. Double header as well. Lurveeeeeeeeeeely.

That well known Leicester City fan that contributes to this thread has been saying for three years I need LMS coaches, shame they're not mine.

Necrophilia. Was that an album by the Who?

[Clearwater]

We're in grave danger of getting to the bare bones of this subject

[colin penfold]

its all very well criticising, but there are desperate people out there who if it wasn't for necrophilia would have no body to love

[Welchester]

It´s dead boring.

Nearly the "Dear Marge" joke again there Ian.

There's a topic?  Now you tell me!

 

Superb pictures of a layout that looks stunning from every angle.  All that Stone Nos 1 & 3 brightens my soul, even when there is nothing Great Western running past it.  The essence of Glorious Devon.
