Wow! Look at that impressive ship overhead. Apparently it's called "FrightSpear". I hope they are friendly.

My 1960s Southern Region EMU/Steam transition era layout is Branksdowne Park. Set in the Bournemouth area during 1966-68. It is long and thin - just 13" wide - to fit in my shed. I can accommodate 28 feet of the scenic section at any one time, but the layout overall will be 40 x 16 feet with a 10 road fiddle yard at the rear. The concept is to show full length trains of up to 12 cars (3 x 4-car sets) at relatively high speeds passing through a small Suburban station, redolent of so much of the Southwestern Main Line. In this scenario, the S&D route is still open, although Bournemouth West has closed - so all S&D traffic has to pass through our little station too. The first five scenic boards are nearly complete (July 2021) with the signalling installed (Absolute Aspects) and most scenic work finished. We then have one more 5ft scenic board plus two semi-cenic corner boards to do, one of which is half finished as it contains the second part of the Steam Loco depot. We expect to be able to show it in October 2022 at the East Anglian Railway Museum's Small Trains Day.

You got sirens for a welcome
There's bloodstain for your pain
And your telephone been ringing
While you're dancing in the rain -
Good grief but it's warm in the railway room this afternoon, all I've done is a bit of flocking and I'm drenched in sweat!

Er, yes? I'm sure I can remember storms being followed by cooler weather in my youth(?) Well, there's a 50% chance for a heavy thunderstorm forecast for tonight/tomorrow so I will attempt an empirical study. Still up in the low 30's at the moment, have so far used 3 pints of cold lager to attempt to alleviate the effects of heat this evening. Very effective well so far!! :^)

Our pasta, who art in a colander, draining be your noodles. Thy noodle come, Thy sauce be yum, on top some grated Parmesan. Give us this day, our garlic bread, …and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trample on our lawns. And lead us not into vegetarianism, but deliver us some pizza, for thine is the meatball, the noodle, and the sauce, forever and ever. R’amen.

3 days away with work, and on my return home the EvilBay Jubilee is waiting for me, should I dare to open it?

I'm getting sorely tempted now. If SWMBO asks, what's O Gauge?
