  1. G'Day Folks I started this C1 (out of a B12) in the early 70's, it's now a runner, but I still have to line it and fit the handrails and give her a number. (4419) manna

    G'Day Folks Rushing ahead with the new station (lol) Well solid progress, brickwork done, bridge painted, some advertising, you'll see in the pics. But the main thing I was going ask, should a 'small' booking office be at the top of the ramp by the bridge, or a slightly bigger booking office on the platform at the bottom of the ramp, or maybe a small parcels office at the top, any suggestion?? manna
  6. G'Day Folks For this one, I'll go for Spilsby. manna
  7. G'Day Folks Sorry, I used the Town name, should have been Ramsey North. manna

    G'Day Folks Progress on the new station, been building the bridge and area for the booking office, it's going to be small, with a ramp down to the station. First view from the fiddle yard, others from the scenic side. manna
  9. G'Day Folks Really ought to be County by County, with so many to choose from, I don't know which one to nominate, Ramsey St Mary, or Maldon.....................................Ramsey St Mary, you are a hard taskmaster Gilbert manna
  10. G'Day Folks I'll have to go with Richmond, as I had family living there at one time. manna

    G'Day Folks No real progress on the new station, to darn cold in the shed, but I did manage a couple of minutes to coal up a couple of tenders, but to-day, mainline coaches. I have 5 mainline 61ft coaches, these are a real mixture, there are opens, compartments a ECJS open and a NER coach, care of 'Chris P Bacon'. I give these a run every so often, usually with one of the Atlantics. manna
  12. G'Day Folks Not somewhere I ever got to, but Windermere, sounds nice. manna
  13. G'Day Gents For a line that should have been kept, Fraserburgh. manna

    G'Day Steve It wasn't all black, as I said on Facebook, but it was very dirty, Kings Cross Gasworks Tunnels were only a little worse. manna

  16. G'Day Folks Westerham. manna
  17. G'Day Folks Time for an update, firebox and splashers fitted plus a coat of paint, a couple of pics of it as a 'Straightback' then in it's final configuration with a domed boiler. Handrails etc to be fitted. I like it, different. manna

    G'Day Folks Edgware got it's name from an Saxon fellow called Egi, and he built a weir across the river, so it got called Egi'sweir, Here endith the lesson. A bit more work on (deep breath) Edgwarebury & Watling Pk, I've trimmed it up a bit, as a couple of 'Shorty' coaches hit the platforms, but 61ft coaches glided round without any problems, go figure ( I reckon it was the steps), I gave the platforms a quick blast of undercoat, the block of wood and the ruler are roughly where the bridge will be. The Sentinal and G5 on 'push-pull' will be the types of trains calling there, don't you 'Love' the 40 year old backscene. manna
  19. G'Day Folks I've often wondered how good the Short Stirling would have been 'IF' it had had the right length wings and a normal bomb bay manna
