Not quite the burning of The Chancellery this evening , but a close run thing...................

Dear readers from RMweb

 I started in 2018 with a plan to model killin junction and the branch line to Loch Tay in N scale. 

The seed was put into the ground in 2012, when I found a picture of Killin Station. 
After I moved to a bigger house I could start making a plan. Which will exist of 2 layers 1st layer killin junction, 2nd layer via a helix and a viaduct to killin station and Loch Tay.

in 2020 I became a member do NGS and I bought a book callander & Oban railway. I’m busy building my own loc 0-4-4t In 2014 I went to Bo’ness to see the 0-4-4t but the real loc was dismantled, what a pity. 
I’m searching for what type of coaches were used by LMS and de branch line C&R. 
See picture how far I am now. 
best regards 

The lacerations of 2020 continue into 2021. It has to get better at some point... doesn't it?

This isn't private.

Today’s vaccine news is possibly the best news I’ve heard all year. As a doctor I say bring it on!

I'm rather glad I didn't spend the afternoon in the bath, now.

Loving your North Wales coast theme! Really ambitious and most impressive!

I might have a fishcake for my tea tonight.

Just had a wonderful 50th birthday despite lockdown thanks to my wife, Jennifer. Got me a lovely train cake and 2 first class tickets for The Jacobite next year!! And yes, i did mention the sleepers were on top of the rails not under!!!

Is it OK to call loud-mouthed-Trump supporters "Trumpets" ?

Looking for a source of Airfix 7ft GWR bogies (given the chance of sourcing the current Hornby Bow Ends is non existent...)

It'll all be over by Christmas, they said....

Is it possible to hide all posts by an individual? 

The carpet monster has officially driven me insane with its insatiable appetite for 4mm scale buffer shanks.

Luckily I have a supply of spare Cambrian coupling mounts so will procure another bottled ale from the cooler and slice a pair of replacements.

We've entered the "firework season" once more.  Eleven evenings of incessant bangs until the fifth and another x evenings because the fifth is midweek and they want to "party" at the weekend...

I know I have a Woodland Scenics rock mould somewhere. Buggered if I can find it....... 

I don't drink coffee - I take tea my dear, 
I like my toast done on one side
You can hear it in my accent when I talk...

I feel like the model railway Sisyphus. 300 passengers waiting to be dressed properly...
