I've been a couple of times this year, including the Baldwin's first day in service:

After a morning at the Fairbourne Gala:

Also rode behind or on nine Quarry Hunslets that weekend

In  my case Number 46 from Rumney to West Grove  - Fitzalan Technical High School was in Howard Gardens. The year I entered form 5 it moved to Leckwith.

Like the orange liveried Cardiff double decker 😁

 

Trouble is I remember the earlier liveries that I travelled to school on!

You could what would be really cool? On a modern image layout with various diesels but have a static lorry with a trailer pulling a steam loco (as in transporting to a heritage railway) on the road besides the railway.

Thus.

Due to a misunderstanding, this 3ft gauge Isle of Man loco is being delivered to a standard gauge shed.

My day was brightened by another perfect delivery and the inclusion of the sweet treats made me smile and made my day. How lovely is that !

They actually got eaten on the Talyllyn on Saturday :)

Hornby’s submarines patrolling the high seas? 🧨 ⛴️💥

They'd probably be the wrong shade of yellow.

Just received my Accurascale Manor from Derails. Superb service as usual plus a little extra.

 

That's why they are my go to model shop.

My biscuits may well be eaten at the Bala Lake Railway Gala tomorrow.....

I had an afternoon there last year:

Attempted suicide at a preserved railway, that isn't something I've heard of before. Is it a common issue on heritage lines as it is on the mainline? 

No, it was where SVR runs parallel to Network Rail immediately outside Kiddy station, so all was stopped until it was clear.

Numbers were fantastic . Time keeping was sadly  not helped by lineside fires and also a potential attempted suicide. 

The attempted suicide was Thursday, so didn't affect me, as was the main lineside fire.

Spent last Friday and Saturday at the Diesel Festival. Busy on Friday, very, very busy on Saturday:

Still very enjoyable though, despite delays.

Got an acknowledgement of my feedback from KR Models, so I know they have received it and hope they read it.

I didn't receive acknowledgement, but I'd included a fair bit of feedback when I asked for a refund for my Fell, so  know that they read that.

Yes - and I have provided feedback, including what I don’t like.

Likewise. Having returned my faulty Fell for a full refund, I've been very honest, which they may not like.

I read somewhere recently that they planned to have two GW Choc & Cream rakes - one Shirtbutton and one Garter Crest. Is this no longer the case?

Have a look at the film I posted on this thread on Sept 16th. 38mins in the two trains are seen passing at Aberfrrwd....

Well that's rather splendid!

Now vac and steam heat fitted, as Loftshire is nominally a Heritage railway, and it'll get chance to work passenger trains occasionally. On test it managed 7 Mark 1's comfortably, though this won't be a regular occurance.

I was there on Sunday:

I am reminded of the Martin Clunes Reggie Perrin series - 'I am almost physically excited!'

I've been meaning to use that on here for a while, curses, too late!

Would be interesting to find out how many items (as a percentage) delivered to retailers are found with damage/faults on delivery from manufacturers. 

Seeing as many of them don't test or inspect locos that are being posted, and I doubt that any routinely examine every item of rolling stock they sell, we'll never know.

Received an e-mail from KR, advising my order of June 2021 for DHP1 is being processed.

Does this mean the model is ready for shipping?

No, I got one for Leader, it's their computer system being weird (again).

It's a very, very long way from being ready I would imagine.

Is anyone who's got a Genesis coach going to Hackett about?

I went to sample the beastie last month:
