What a splendid post David.Yes I will be doing an aircraft Castle but probably Fairey Battle to start with due to Hornby releasing one with a shortlived Hawksworth tender.All the NA Castles had Collett tenders post war so I can't do Spitfire,Hurricane or Beaufort with the new release.Incidently have you seen Spitfire near Saltern Cove in that Wild Swan book we have. Another Earl as well oh go on then.

Not half as much as some saffron buns from Joseph Aulds corner store though.Meanwhile Tigley Junction is busy and would be a joy for a shed bunker today as 2884 class 3864 passes by with a train of empty cattle wagons destined for Ponsandane Sidings maybe for some broccoli traffic later.As the new Hornby 28xx release is delayed this will have to work much harder. Those who regularly follow this thread may know what I'm thinking regarding another faded backscene in photo 1. Can anyone help with a shirtbutton location in this thread please http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/73935-siphon-g-in-shirtbutton-livery/

Mike Roper, the porter can't believe his eyes after unloading the luggage from the 45xxs coach.Look who's sitting next to Zach Plunkett on the bench.One wonders what the conversation entailed but the Flora looks quite distressed.She might have heard the news that my City are playing their 'home' games in Northampton this season but then again maybe not.Either way its nice to see the Finching sisters home again. I'm sure Mikkel or Mallard will have the answer.....

Apologies if I've shewn this before as I've just stumbled across it.Another thread mentioned a beach hut at Mudeford Quay going for 200k.These at Goodrington cost £220 to hire for the summer season. Not keen on 7827 in black lined livery but a lovely line obviously aimed at tourists and not enthusiasts.Wish it still used semaphores instead of colour light signals.There's also a steam paddle steamer 'Kingswear Castle' in use now at Dartmouth. http://www.dartmouthrailriver.co.uk/days-out/paddle-steamer-kingswear-castle

Now you're talking.A man after my own heart.Lovely job Mark.Nobodies told you the paint job is the wrong shade yet like they did with my Fordson tractor ! Great weathering job. -
gwrrob is looking for the crossing everything button.

Thats not a totally recent photo of the Star so maybe the chimney will correct when released.

I haven't seen one in the flesh yet and the only image I've seen so far of the Star was this on the Model Rail facebook page so it must have had a radical change in production as this looks very nice.
-
Although this is worrying and I have two on order I will reserve comment on them till I see one in the flesh.I like others thought it will/would be as good as the Castle as they already have the chassis.

Give Murray a knighthood when he's won five grand slams and not before.Great sportsmen do it over years not 12 months.
