    Ok, not a railway item, but you could build one on it. Plus free P&P!: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Plot-of-land-for-sale/161020488899?_trksid=p2045573.m2102&_trkparms=aid%3D555003%26algo%3DPW.CAT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D15136%26meid%3D7855940072201230900%26pid%3D100034%26prg%3D7313%26rk%3D2%26

    Why do passport photos always look like mug shots?

      My partner is an Exams Officer - you try running them with all the students and teachers to contend with - she's been close to murder several times this week

    Some shots of todays Rail Motor Society 621/721 railtour along the Sydney Metro Goods Line Hurlstone Park, and the train heads along the goods line towards Botany Bay Goods Terminal Marrickville, and the train heads back the opposite way into the Sun, and back on up to Paterson. And I stuffed the only freight train to pass in 3 hours! Chicago Freight Car Leasing Australia liveried GL 105 and GreenTrains liveried RL 303 (owned by Qube Logistics) pass Marrickville with a container train bound for Minto. Edit-Video now up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eT4is0f5h8I (Edit 2: also fixed CL to GL-odd slip, as they look totally different) (Edit 3: location ammended)

    With all the comments about Papyrus, I remember on a DVD (Flying Scotsman Comes Home, I think) that even the Late Alan Pegler admited that if he was able to pick and choose, 2750 would have been it as it was his favorite when he was a lad, for being the fastest A3 of the lot (and she was an A3 from the beginning). The other thing is, as has been mentioned, it's not just the locomotive itself. If, say, Brown Jack had been preserved and gone through exactly the same set of circumstances as 4472, this thread might be about 'why is "Brown Jack" so famous?'. It's not just the engine, but the people, the trips and, in all truth, the failures that have made her such a prominent locomotive in preservation history.

    Ahh...I see what you did there with that title! Looking better every time I pass through here. I still can't wait to see it finished.

    One from the other week: 'Happy Snap' The shunter at Sydney Terminal, having helped prepare 3642 and 3265 for the run down to Moss Vale takes a photograph of the occasion. After all, it's not every Sunday there is a double header steam special in Sydney...

    Works both ways-$1 is about 65p at the moment. It was 69p last month, and I'm kicking myself for not buying some bits back then. And just to keep with the theme...http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Classic-Hobbies-HO-NSWGR-C32-Steam-Locomotive-Code-No-AR-14-/181135861116?pt=AU_Toys_Hobbies_Model_Railways&hash=item2a2c89e57c

    In all seriousness, should Hornby do a twin pack of 56101 and E3145?

      45568

      In all seriousness, why?

    2. 69843

      Both are named 'Frank Hornby', and would be a small tribute by the company in respects to the man.

      I'd buy a pack...

      If there's one thing we've all learned from preservation, it's that, "change isn't good."
