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

      As did I. My office is near Buckingham Palace and we were able to get onto the roof of the building, so got a great view just as the blue white and red smoke appeared. Brilliant.

      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?

    Homeward bounds once more. Two European trips in one week complete.

  13. adb968008

    Hornby box arrived this am, except it contained a Bachmann 47 from Cardiff, whom had bought something from Derails in March, whom recieved the box from Hornby. Railway modellers are the best at recycling

      Whats Words is i have two empty Boxes for it.. so am I looking for 1 or 2 ..in theory it should be twice as easy to find, not twice as hard !!!

    With all the girls around1 tv and the blokes watching The footie on the other, today is a perfect day to be on the layout in peace and without the usual disruptions

    Japanese train leaves 25 seconds early makes news. Looking at the timetable for my model railway I have a train around 25 years too late

      Anyone who leaves it that late to catch a train gets what they deserve...

      You'd be surprised at the amount of late running commuters that have a go at me because they missed their train as it left on time today.

      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.

  18. adb968008

    Heads up.. I just bought the last of the R8264 14.1mm coach wheels from amazon at £6.60, as the new rrp is £15, ebay stocks will surely dissipate next.

    Home from Dampfspektakle.. I have the sounds of Maybach engines and a loud BR78 ringing in my ears

    1. NGT6 1315

      NGT6 1315

      And a matching modelling project on your mind?

  20. adb968008

    Day 3 Dampfspektakle.. BR03 to Saarbrucken, and a trip round freight lines, avoiding lines and triangles of Trier with a noisy BR78 and a BR211. Currywurst and Bitburg once more.

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

    3. NGT6 1315

      NGT6 1315

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

    4. admiles

      admiles

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

  21. adb968008

    Day 2 Dampfspektakle.. BR103 on TEE.. but a V200 at 70+ mph is a sight to behold..from the front most window too

    1. adb968008

      adb968008

      I also had a long sedate trip from Trier to Nennig and back to Bullay with a Br52.. started watching the 6.40and 6.44 departures with BR 52’s ended the night watching them double head back to shed....now time for a Bitburg !

    2. NGT6 1315

      NGT6 1315

      Sounds like a splendid time there!

  22. adb968008

    Day 1 Dampfspektacle over.. wow. Tired feet need beer. Dreaming of the BR78 climbing up to Gerolstein.

      oh no! enthusiast that got too close?

    3. adb968008

      adb968008

      Luckily not a fatality,a very lucky person. But too close none the less. Platform ends are now off limits to photographers.

      Glad to hear that no one was killed

  24. adb968008

    Two more days to a feast of Red wheels and Black steam locos..not forgetting the E94, V200 and BR103/216

    1. Patrick

      Patrick

      I'd be happy with just the BR103... :)

  25. adb968008

    Getting ready for Trier Dampfspektakle... unfortunately I seemed to have packed British weather.. Rain all day Sunday / Monday
