A carpenter’s cartoon: Who Framed Roger Rabbet?

I had some etched tell tale fittings for the end of Mk1 coaches. I've searched but I can't find them for sale anywhere. Any ideas?

Why does Google think a Terrier is a furry thing with a wet nose?

Would you believe they put a man on the moon

Would anyone be able to tell me what the wheel diameter for BR tenders was? Were they all the same? Thanks in advance.

I'm going to watch Countdown today with some trepidation...

C'mon Cymru!

My wife is eagerly waiting for the SECR D Class to arrive today from @RailsOfSheffield . She was very taken with the original at the NRM.- so what have your spouses and partners got running on your layouts?

I could never be full time football fan, every four years I'd curl into a ball and cry. 

There is a knack to airbrushing: you've either got it or you haven't. I've just spent an extremely stressful half-hour reminding myself that I haven't and that in my hands an airbrush is simply an expensive tool used for ruining models.

Downtown's been caught by the hysteria
People scream and shout
A generation's on the move
When disco spreads like a bacteria
Those lonely days are out
Welcome the passion of the groove

Mother of God !

Back into "Careless Whispers" mode, I see...

Found myself in the town of Haworth today, it seems to be a little town in Yorkshire that is set in the 1950s.

First went to a pub where I had a beef stew with dumplings, then to an old sweet shop a'top of t'hill, then a walk near the cemetary where all I could hear were birds and sheep.

Thing is, if you closed your eyes you could hear steam engines whistling and chuffing away in the distance, very strange, very strange indeed.   Mrs W told me to forget about the imaginary train noises and focus on the countryside.....

Starting a new job at a model shop today! Exciting times!!

Expanded social intercourse from Monday?

That's the #Census2021 completed this lunchtime, I resisted the temptation to state  my Religion as "Southern Railway"!

As is often the case in Britain Piers have a habit of self combusting...

As my favourite old railway saying goes.

”Remember, things are never so bad.... .that they can’t get worse!”

Thank you for travelling with SpaceX - please leave the rocket as quickly as possible and ignore the fire around the base.

I just can't decide on US or UK modelling. It's made harder by the wife not being impressed for wanting to change and a 'limit' on how many locos can be seen to be had... 

Love both for different reasons...

I'd just like to say "Perseverance - we're all counting on you"
