well filled baps The Sheep Chronicles : These are the adventures of a Sheep, the Works Forecat and Naughty George,

Rob, if you ever find that Sheep1 is unavailable ( due to being commandeered by a higher authority) I've found a potential replacement.

[NHY 581]

Thanks Stubbers. 

 

If I build something which needs a vehicle of that size to transport, then Eweston, we have a problem.

I estimate that you could get approximately 40,000 large pasties on that truck, or 9 or 10 big people, assuming they had eaten all 40,000 pasties between them, but I couldn't guarantee on whether the springs would last very long.

A few final views of the pesky pannier.

Morning all. 

 

Thank you for your kind words. 

 

Bleat is just about ready for it's appearance tomorrow at the Small Cardiff show. 

It looks to be a good one and I for one am looking forward to it. Hopefully a few of you fine chaps will be dropping in to see us. The show is evolving into a sort of loose Rmweb get together and we have our regulars. 

 

 There will be a  cup of tea and a bacon bap available when you get there . The usual friendly Welsh welcome awaits and I am sure there will be a modicum of banter and frivolity. 

 

For all of those travelling to see us, no matter how far,  a safe journey.

 

 

Rob.

Have a cracking show, sorry I won't be able to be there.

[Re6/6]

CK, BG man and myself will be visiting. it will be good to see all the usual suspects again!

 

A grand day out is anticipated.

[NHY 581]

Norman snapped a strange visitor to Bleat Wharf today. A hydraulic from Devon, travelling via Kernow to a rather unspoilt part of Somerset, visible in Wales...........

[NHY 581]

The Captain and No1. navigate through some choppy seas despite the best attempts of the Welsh Railways Research Circle to sink the good shop Bleat Wharf. 

[NHY 581]

[bgman]

Didn't see that coming ! 

 

Although I did see it go......

 

O.N.Looker

[Re6/6]

A grand social day out as anticipated!

It was a great show. My thanks to Rob for letting me play trains on his layout again. 

 

Other visiting locos included an Austerity tank, visiting from the South Polden Light Railway:

 

and a J72, sold out of service to a local colliery and temporarily stabled in Bleat yard, en-route to Radnorshire:

 

 

 

[Captain Kernow]

The presence of an LNER engine, even an ex-LNER one, led to some slight consternation:

 

Oh well, you can't win 'em all!

 

[Stubby47]

How did the 3 links get on with the tension locks?

[The Johnster]

A Grand Day Out; brilliant to see you and the lads and Bleat looked and performed beautifully.  I was rather taken with the GW road van!
