    Thanks, but I think that should be MRJ 257. Adrian

    I was expecting it to have a lever brake mechanism, but it looks as though it has got a Dean - Churchward arrangement, or am I missing something. I've spent much of today arguing with the brake linkages on a Rumney models Herring, but looking at that picture, the hopper bracing is different. The Rumney model is for the 1945 version, so is the picture of an earlier version ? Adrian

    30 mumble years ago, our local tyre place had a fitter who was about 6'8" and the same across the shoulders. He always used hand tools to do the wheel nuts, and this was before the regular use of torque wrenches. We used to dread having to take a wheel off after he'd put it on. Adrian

    Whilst white roses are always welcome, that sounds horribly like gardening. Adrian

    And, judging from the state of our local lanes, other forms of emissions. Adrian

    A long way to go yet !. Adrian

    May I beg to differ ?. Some superb modelling to be seen there. Adrian

    It is probably a waste of time blacklisting them. Spoofing the calling number is relatively easy it seems, so the number that appears on your phone is quite likely not the number making the call, but will belong to someone who is completely innocent. A similar thing happens with spam emails. Adrian

    Sheep trying to escape through the back of the cab ? Adrian

    No picture, but when I was taking my morning constitutional, a lady was standing by a bus stop with a horse on a halter (but no saddle). The horse was busy trimming the adjacent grass. Adrian

    I do like the lighting on this one. Adrian

    There is also a topic in UK Prototype Discussions Adrian

    Arkendale.h was built at Richard's Ironworks in Lowestoft in 1937, Wastdale.h by Sharpness Shipyard in 1951. Harkers owned the Sharpness Shipyard, using it as a maintenance base for their Severn fleet. Adrian

    There has been a Wilts & Berks restoration scheme running for several decades, but progress is a bit slow. Adrian

    I was reading the November 2020 edition of Steam Days earlier, and there is an article on the Lostwithiel - Fowey - Par routes. It includes a picture of a Sara & Burgess loco that was used at Par (under the low bridge). From the photo and description, it sounds like a standard gauge version of the De Winton. Unfortunatley Google isn't being helpful in providing a picture. Could be a candidate. Adrian

    Reklaw wasn't dredging the clay huts, but was dredging up sand and gravel, which Walkers (see what they did there ?) then sold. Adrian

    Some one told me some time back, that in certain parts of the country where sheep farming is popular, registrations with EWE and RAM are quite popular. Someone with nothing better to do might consider applying for a grant to investigate this. Adrian

    On a school trip many decades ago, some of my class mates (not me, honest guv) found that uttering the phrase "Mint Sauce" had a similar effect. Adrian

    Ah, Parkin (licks lips). An ice cream with a touch of Yorkshire ? There used to be a restaurant in Weymouth (now closed it seems) which did a liquorice ice cream, yummy. Adrian

    Possible problem here. Whilst your (and my) recycling bin takes tins regardless of the metal, in theory further down the road (!) the contents will be sorted into ferrous and non ferrous (magnets are useful for this). Steel blades in ally tins will mess that up. Adrian

    Not forgetting which type of hammer to use. Adrian

    I think the last time I had tea (several years back), it was the only option on the menu, which was "Afternoon Tea". I had to go to the bar and get something else to drink to take the taste away. At an emporium I frequented many years ago, a standard question was "Are you civilised, or do you drink tea ?" Adrian

    Sharpness - Lydney line. A tragic ending. Adrian

    Narrow Planet did me some nice ones in 4mm, so I suspect 7mm would be possible. Adrian

    Another vote for the Fairford Branch. Adrian
