My carmine and maroon ones just arrived via Derails and RM. Can only echo what everyone else has said. MOTY in the NPCCS category.

Moderating this board really has taken its toll hasn't it?

Afraid I haven't visited here for some time. I wonder if I may re-visit the discussion in April about the half-building. The general consensus seemed to be to leave alone so with some trepidation I'm going to make a suggestion. This may not be what was really there but on my own layout which is late 50's-ish I did resort to still-existing WW2 bomb blast damage to solve a problem in one area. What if you treat the missing half of the building as having been bombed, with a couple of large wooden buttresses holding up the remaining wall? There would be no need to worry about the track as that's now been lifted and the ground would just be rough. Hopefully this would fill some of the gap when viewed from either direction and not be too much modelling (though doing things well always takes longer......)

It seems like only yesterday I was taking pics like this. XV215 landing at Northolt Sept 74.

Lack of maintenance since the start of WW2....

ex GWR Mogul on a short rake of milk tankers. For once I didn't need to renumber.

I can confirm I used the footpath from Glandyfi last year

I hope you don't mind a little hijack back to Nov 2003

Forgive my ignorance but were either of these diagrams the ones that were converted in 'cyclops' auto trailers?

Agreed, I like the way a lot of their tones are understated.

Stroudley's improved blue?

Those modelu photters can look ver realistic

It's why we love our cats and dogs

I note also from the press release and one BBC TV News that Torbay Council had jumped on the green bandwagon declaring themselves wanting to be carbon neutral by 2030 without anyone seemingly asking technical questions.....

Genuine river, everything else model/CGI?

Iconic?

There will be a normal service at Mantles Wood this weekend as May Day won't be a bank holiday until 1978
