RMweb Premium J. S. Bach Posted January 8, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 8, 2023 Hmmm, whoever drew that does not know much about trains. The engine's road number would be in the numberboards not "express", no spikes or tieplates, no airhorn (although some modern practice is to put the horn back near the middle of the hood), Oddly, the cartoonist must have seen a photo somewhere of a Union Pacific "veranda turbine", the front is very suggestive of one: https://ogrforum.ogaugerr.com/fileSendAction/fcType/0/fcOid/57038617548943940/filePointer/57038617549201982/fodoid/57038617549201976/imageType/LARGE/inlineImage/true/veranda_02.jpg 4 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJS1977 Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Reminds me of the story of the sheep farmer in Crymych (Preseli Mountains, Pembrokeshire - on the erstwhile Whitland to Cardigan line) who was thinking of easing his workload, so put an advertisement in the Western Telegraph for someone to look after his 1,000 sheep. He received three replies - one from a man in Tenby, one from a man in Carmarthen, and one from a man in Cardigan. However, when they visited the farm, it was readily apparent that none of them had any experience looking after sheep. So he got the three applicants together and spoke to them. "Sheep are smelly creatures," he explained. "As you're not used to sheep, I do wonder if before long you might get so fed up of the smell and give up. But I want to give you all a chance. So I'm going to send all three of you up the mountain with my 1,000 sheep and I'll see who lasts the longest. After three days, the man from Tenby came back down, saying he couldn't stand the smell any longer. Three days later, the man from Carmarthen came down, saying he couldn't stand the smell any longer. The next day, the thousand sheep came down; 2 1 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much for one person, but way too small for the staff of even a small school and even half a dozen disappearances might attract comment those who feign a conscience..... such are the disappointments of life. 🤣 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
