Wait till the Pine Martens spread south. They'll take no truck from the grey tree rats

I think they first appeared in the Walton-on-Thames area but they can now be seen anywhere between Richmond and Marlow.

Wraysbury, Esher Rugby Club used to be well populated

Having seen the clip from the original TTTE on The Joy of (Train) Sets on BBC Four on Sunday, one can appreciate how far down the Slippery Slope of No Return Mattel have gone.

Is there an episode where Edward and Henry get cut up at Barry Scrap Yard?

Tis what happens when you give the rights of a British story to foreign companies.

I don't know about pounds, but I'm hoping to sink a couple of pints quite soon.

An excellent idea

Make hay while the sun shines. That's what this is all about! Nano second computer chips doing the trading is responsible for the latest crash so it's all really out of anyones hands

I didnt but I'm now going to look !

Blubberhouses ought to have it's own sausage too.

Here's a Dusseldorf pedestrian signal:

Thanks for the kind comments. No idea what 2019 brings, but a change is always good.

Sorry to hear this, fingers crossed you’ll find something new very soon!

Add my best wishes for your future too.

What they all missed was the real concern. The flood sensors didn't pick it up apparently.

TV and newspapers seem to feel the need to sensationalise everything and most of those who write the reports know little of real life. Never let the facts get in the way of a good story!

The initial report was on the front page of The Sun - everyone else picked this non-story up from there. Presumably, they are allowed to report it, but the Beeb aren't.

Of course, it could be fake...then it is worth 5p. But if that fake was created by David Hockney, then it could be worth £50,000.00. If it transpired that it was a fake Hockney of a fake £5, then it's probably worth £5. If that fake was by Tracy Emin, and you are Charles Saachi, then it's worth £5 million...

I thought quantitative easing was what senokot was for.

No, that's qualitative easing.

There's a decent tearoom at Culgaith though not such a good view of the trains

I'll wave at you as I go past!

I voted against it, 600 miles round trip leaving at 5am.. looks like the day delivered but I think 2008 was better, so on balance I gave it a miss. I did do SVR last week with 43106, plus 45110/48773 on display, with cleaners !

Get your trousers on, you're nicked.

It's for the greater good.

The greater good.

No rain in South Devon for a while now and it's getting too warm again. The breeze is, however, very welcome.

It’s sunny but is it funny?

nice to have some decent weather at last after the winter yuk!

Then again if it is any thing like my excesses on my PI it will be they just give you a cheque!

I LOVE MY....BRICK!!

Neighbour said they'd cover it, but thats not really the point. L150's been dusted off ok, indeed when i photographed the before & after it looked like it's been in a decades storage. So it's just the tram and a bunch of work tidying up / gluing and picking off the mess. All in all quite lucky.

Hrvatska!

Is this something about football? Did I miss anything?

Marge and Tina?

I must ask The Sausage Man in Ealing to start serving it.

Ah, I should emphasise that doing a proper Currywurst is a genuine art form!

Currywurst is an abomination! Brat an Bok are the the only true sausage...

Given the success of the various Tornado models I'd expect an RTR version to be out soon. A good looking engine. I still regret passing on a kit built one on ebay a few years ago.

Bantam Egg.

Mum! It shrunk in the wash!!!

BBC just said the ECML goes from London to Glasgow

Alas the LNER is not a very good name to bring back if Grayling is thinking of financial performance as it was by far the worst performer of the grouped railways when it came to dividends. Maybe a lesson there for franchise bidders?

They'd be better off bringing back the LBSCR. Less embarrassment due to journey times having not improved since the glorious Gladstone days.

very good plan indeed!

How do you 'Window hang' on a flight ?

I am very happy to hear about your exciting trip.

The 4x4 isn’t too bad, I’m hearing.

aye compared to a Moskvitch..or a skip.

If you read the wiki page its seems most went back to the Baltic states and Russia. The Niva wasnt bad as a cheap 4x4 - apart from the horrendous welding

So have you any recently made ex-GWR steam locos in your collection, and if you do please can you PM me?

so far only 60, just sent you a PM, though I do have a 3440 on ebay at the moment

Surely the offer is a maximum of £1 per item sold, so sell 100 items, pay £100 pounds - eBay aren't that generous!

If you are asking the question of which one to model ? .... then Southport so you am have some of those lovely 503 EMUs

502 sets, MB...

One was rebuilt, the other wasn't! 45524 or 45527?

Welkom til Sköna

I've been under it on many, many occasions

Made it back over the bridge (I actually videoed whole journey from tunnel to bridge to tunnel again. Am currently stuck on a SAS flight to London that doesn’t want to leave

Oh well, plenty of time for the camera crew to interview you.

Crime Watch caught you then lol

It’s filming a Bbc drama for March 2019, called Gold Diggers, the route was selected as it was a “quiet train” to film on

Good luck SVRLad.

I hope this doesn't result in some knee-jerk legislation that spoils things for our RC model plane flying brethren and sistren.

Thanks sharris. Was supposed to be looking out onto a warm beach this evening, instead my view is of the A23! Touchwood tomorrow we should be flying to Banjul. As for RC planes, I guess the best advice is not to try and fly them alongside the 1:1 scale equivalents....

There is something not very right about this whole bl##dy farce. If nothing else it is a frightening insight into how ill prepared some 'things' seem to be to cope with unexpected 'problems.

Boeing Only Aircraft Company!

G-BYGC according to BA

Still haven’t forgotten those graffiti tails of 20 years ago.

Who is this 'we?' Did some group enter a competition to win penalties? What are penalties, anyway? Can they be exchanged for a free cup of coffee or something?

There now follows two whole days without any football.

Thankfully.

It got me how the airline claimed the passenger was "disruptive" - then used law enforcement officers to drag him off a plane he was booked to travel on.

It used to be that once fully booked, others were 'standby' who could be bounced off before boarding, however 'United' seem to decide that their employees have higher priority than fare paying travellers-now we know

All United needed to do, was increase the offer.. someone will eventually take the money, it is after all supposed to be voluntary deboarding.
