    Are you having a bubble?

    Q. What goes “clip, clop, clip, clop, clip, clop, bang, clippetty-clop, clippetty-clop, clippetty-clop”? A. An Amish drive-by shooting

    The longest ours has been AWOL is over a weekend. Our neighbour opened his garage door on a Monday morning to get his car out to drive to work and our cat shot out and legged it straight to our front door. She hasn’t been seen near his garage since…

    From the caption on Flickr: “Grand National Day 30th of March 1968, Red Alligator won at 14-1 and D348 is on the 17.30 1L12 return service to Euston and D1736 is on the 1L17 17.40 to Coventry.”

    Their website says expected delivery in April 2022. Does that sound familiar?

    Plus refurbished white with blue stripe and GWR150 chocolate & cream.

    Er, you started it…..

    I’m very tempted by the Provincial Class 150 but I’m hoping that the DMU that Revolution are going to announce on Friday will be something more suitable for me. If not, I’ll probably get a 150 if there are any left…
  9. The Pilotman
    Well, that’s one way of putting it….

    I’ve just been charged today for the ScotRail BG+TSO twin pack and “Newspapers” BGs that I ordered over three years ago so they must be with some retailers already.

    If someone (Oxford Diecast for example) were to introduce a suitable load for these (say, a 1970s or 80s Ford Transit van) then I’m sure that figure would reduce very quickly.

    After a night out when there clearly weren’t enough mice to terrorise, one has to take out one’s aggression on something…. …in this case, the cord from my dressing gown.

    Does this answer your question? It’s on Revolution’s website in the FAQ section: “If you pay a 50% deposit then you have locked in your model(s) at the price stated. We will invoice you for the balance when the models are nearly ready to ship. Please note that if you order multiple line items on an order that the deposit system will generate one balance invoice (with a different order number) for each line item and it is not possible for our website to combine the balance invoices.”

    I think there were six like that so probably not very likely. Mind you, they’re doing 50149 in Railfreight triple grey and there was obviously only one of them.

    If only Dapol’s N gauge hoover looked as good as that one

    Here’s a shot of an HST operating a passenger service minus the rear power car. A YouTube clip featuring a similar working in Cornwall has been posted here before. Coincidentally, both workings had a red BG on the rear. http://www.hondawanderer.com/43020_Norton_Fitzwarren_1991.htm

    “Awaiting EP samples - tooling complete” according to their website.

    If you have a look at this video: at 1h42 there’s a shot of the loaded train leaving Burngullow with a mix of clean and dirty wagons. However, if (as you say) you’re getting a bit precious about what you can and can’t run, you might have to overlook the fact that the wagons are of two different types and it’s only the dirty ones (TOPS code ICA) that are the type that Dapol make (the clean wagons in the featured train being TOPS code TIA).

    Diagonally opposite the picture by @Trev52A above and forty-four years later, a ScotRail three car class 170 DMU at South Queensferry in October 2021.

    He’s on the up Westbury so it’ll be a local from Newbury or Bedwyn

    Unless they are in development/tooling/production and haven’t been publicly announced yet then the answer is “no”. I know I am not the only person who would love to see them produced in N. I hope it’s just a matter of time…

    A few views of my local area. Spring Autumn Winter

    David, J4125 is an absolute belter; one of the very best images you’ve posted to date!
  24. The Pilotman
    It’s a long time since I’ve cared much about doing either of those

    C9318 Does anyone else think the driver looks like the inflatable autopilot from the film Airplane?
