Booked my first ever railtour! 1st class Peterborough to York on the 3rd July, get in!

The sound of four merlin engines versus a King going up Dainton ?

Decisions, decisions... Spend 2/3 days in York for the Mallard 75 celebrations, or do a railtour on the 3rd to York, but giving me less time there...

The Zulus have gone. All of them. It's a miracle. If it's a miracle, Colour Sergeant, it's a short-chambered, Boxer-Henry .45 calibre miracle. And a bayonet, sir. With some guts behind it.

Deluxe Materials Rocket max ... best

Cross Country. Bournemouth-Manchester. 4 car Voyager. 25% 1st Class. Seat reservations not working. Not a recipe for a great customer experience.

Finally rendering some more videos and uploading them - Going on YouTube if anyone interested, the user should be obvious.

So now I just need to see 4489 Dominion of Canada and I've seen all 6 Preserved A4's. 2 of which I saw for the first time today as well as Mallard again. To celkebrate I bought The Book of the A4 Pacifics. Roll on next year to see all 6 together.

Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher - you have GOT to be joking!

Still no decision by NRM as to next stage with 4472, according to Heritage Railway. This situation cannot drag on much longer surely.

selling my Crownline Crosti 9F on eBay ....

Suffering from last nights major curry and beer session. I regret eating the extra lot of curry they gave us on the house...

Finally took the plunge and bought myself a DCC N Gauge train set

Hornby rolling road and Bachmann C class are awaiting at the sorting office, taunting me! I can't go pick them up for an hour or so!

Oops. Dapol 0 gauge wagon sat on the shelf. Looks lonely without an engine...

Finally bought myself a Hornby rolling road. Now just need something for O gauge loco's.

If god didn't want us to eat bogey's, why did he make them taste so great?

Met Pete Waterman today, nice bloke.
