Only the walking dead use Spoons.......

To think years ago you didn't know what girls were for lol

I can but say that 'spoons chicken burger must rank as one of the more rank items I have ever eaten. It did at least fill a hole.

That's what you get for selling budgies and buying venison...

Better a cheeping budgie than a dear deer...

Oh deer!

You wouldn't get far with a penny nowadays. A pound for the guy would be pushing things a bit unless it was a multimedia extravaganza in a pram...

Seem to have Halloween and Bonfire night confused. Ho Ho Ho.

Treat!

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

Wires down again?

Steam replacement service

A good tribute to Dennis Howell although a pannier plus 3 would have been an oddity back in the steam era

The man behind RTC, Railway Touring Company.

R.I.P.

great pictures, thanks for posting--I had to decide between GCR gala and SVR--but tomorrow it's the GWSR, so much going on this weekend!

033 sounded good on Thursday, and pulled like a train !!

50033 is going fine, Little smoky still. 50026 is a non-runner. 50017 is only doing 1 trip a day. 50008 is air only so doing freights. D400 is looking good

50044 sounds slightly different to the others.

As it's barriered it should be OK, certainly I've not heard of anything happening to any vehicles in my time as a volunteer.

It might get Hoovered up

Its me thats planning to be hoovered up !

So long as its not AC across your extremities...

AC/DC kinky

Adds a new buzz to model railroading.

Indeed, i’M foruming from the train... passed class 86 Les Ross at Rugby not long back.

You and me have history with pairs of 73s so don't blow one up lol

Don’t speak too soon, the 92 had “issues” and a little sulk at Preston, but eventually got on its way, but left a present for 1S26 in its wake

It was just as weird at Paddington Earlier, glad saw it though, really tempting me to get a Hornby class 87 model sorted out!

I've never seen a train accelerate as fast as 87002 did from Didcot West End through the station.

It must have been doing at least 50mph by the end of the platform!

Video of day 1 here

(bit rushed so it's not the best)

looked good hurtling through Grateley too, although I expected the 73's on the front not the 66. Oh well.

Just saw the 73's here at Awre. Thrashing their way to Gloucester now.

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

GBRf 92 on the menu then

has the issue with it going to blackpool been resolved then?

Will find out tomorrow apparently

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.

Hmm jealous. I grew up with 1938 tube stock to me it is the tube!

They're still in everyday service on the Isle of Wight!

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!!!

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 !

There are mud springs in Shropshire!??

Bet the animals in the safari park are feeling right at home.
