    Probably somewhere between my photos on a grey December afternoon and this one, which seems a bit too bright, from memory.

    Doable though, but I can't remember how! The 3MT is easy as the cab roof ventilator works.

    50008 in a bay at Stafford 15th Sept 1995. Terrible photo, from a train paused briefly.

    10th March 1984, The Conwy Crusader featured 3 Class 40s at various times and was my first railtour: https://www.sixbellsjunction.co.uk/80s/840310cc.htm 40029 is seen near Warrington (taken by a friend as I was on the train!), D200/40122 at Llandudno and 40047 at Blaenau Ffestiniog (50018 was also on the train at this point, but not photographed).

    As a student of Liverpool Poly, living in Birkenhead in 1985 when they were being run down and withdrawn, I travelled on them almost daily. Loved them, can't remember much about the riding qualities though. Took a few pics including of the last service train, which carried a headboard.

    My last interruption, I promise, from onboard The Jacobite:

    Alternatively, put a dab of glue of your choice on their feet and lower them through the aperture using tweezers. It's a bit hit and miss, but good results usually come with persistence.

    Treemendous

    Some snaps from the bridge end of the station and also of the previously bare corner which now has 54 trees "planted". All the scenic areas have now been at least covered. There's a lot of tidying up and detailing to do. Oh, and fitting passengers to over 250 coaches.....Virtually all locos have suitable crew already.

    I lied! Found some from the end of loco hauled trains on the Rhymney branch (until last year of course). Caerphilly. 6th December 2005. 33207

    Scenic breaks

    Tim Hall posted a blog entry in Loftshire

    Since I started planning the railway, I've had a plan for the scenic breaks beyond which there would be no scenery. I had decided to have a slightly implausible tunnel spanning four tracks on the narrow section under the Velux and a bridge/ flyover thing beyond the main station area. Having more spare time available than usual, I've had a go, though they're aren't necessarily finished. Also a few random snaps of recent happenings.

    Ha, I like what you did there! The green one at Swanage will be D6515 (33012). My last pic on the subject is a throwback to the 90s.

    Nothing to do with railways, but....

    We were just down the hill from the High School. Morar is stunning, stayed a night in a B and B there in 1996 (now a Thai restaurant) and had the obligatory walk on the beach then and in 2018. I look forward to seeing your layout developing, and hope that you get back up there soon.

    Indeed, we are almost certainly going next year, back to the same house where we stayed in Aug 18, with views of trains leaving Mallaig below us:

    Should have been staying there this week, with a trip on the Jacobite, but obviously we're not. I have got a couple of photos over the years which might be nearly almost interesting. 19th July 1985 37049 7th September 1988 37410
