Thank you for that insight into the heroic efforts of the military musicians on the big day. After playing and marching  for hours in the rain their train journey home must have been a relief but very steamy!  What a contrast between the superb music in all parts of the Coronation to the concert in Windsor park !

Nice to see your full brake in action again!

Do you run your signals on 9v ? I agree about the abrupt bounce free mechanism of these signals compared to the elegant movement of the bracket version.

Returning to matters Ovine, does anyone admit to knowing the character in the foreground, who I encounter whilst out for a walk today ?

 

 

Adrian

She’s been here too, her name is ……

I can hear the clank in the last picture, you’ve captured it’s heft !

It’s a bit like waiting on a platform for your long awaited steam hauled train while a bewildering variety of gaily coloured shiny new diesel engines rumble, no thrash, past.

Certainly eye level shots are engaging in your domain -there is  nothing to spoil the illusion.

 I’d like to bring my dog to walk down to the viaduct and beyond, it’s so inviting. I’m hoping it’s a public right of way !  

Is this Charles Dowding demonstrating no-dig gardening ?
 

That works really well in B&W, it could feature in a book on prewar GWR goods yards!

Although still reading the same paper there is no technical reason, as time is stationery in Little Muddle, why the chap on the lorry could not be reading tomorrow’s headlines!

One more thing.

 

If you do paint the inside, that's fine, but do you think that you could possibly, just this once, restrain yourself from going bananas and kitting the van out with benches, vices, tool lockers, oil lamps et-ceter-bloody-rah as once the roof and "glass" are fitted, you can't see diddly inside...

 

It makes the rest of us feel like we're not trying...😆

 

Which brings me to my favourite quote from Oh Mister Porter!

 

"You're wasting your time!"

 

Yes but no but —how about the painted interior , engineering clutter AND interior LED lighting so all is visible through the skylights — that would be a first!

Excellent view  and not a scared crow to be seen. KNP/72 seems pleased too!

Quiet,

Peaceful morning...

 

Lovely view!   Nice to see you in person - admiring the potato extension !

Probably was cardigan weather in 1936, before Val Doonigan !

 Like this?

I watched the last coronation on this wide screen TV - if you closed the lid it became a radio so you could listed to the  BBC Light programme. When it finally gave up my father dismantled it and we had an endless supply of electrical bits , nuts and bolts and a huge magnat.

This will be interesting . I started to refurbish my Lima railcar about 10 yrs ago using some expensive ultra scale wheel sets . I paused while working out how to improve the glazing as the SEF vacuum formed windows didn’t look good at either end, I didn’t know laserglaze now produces them so I’ll watch you fit them !! 

One lump or two?

One of the benefits of Covid-19 is that flatus doesn’t smell offensive anymore, but I have less friends.

Now he’s in the station it’s time  for the Duke to take the Dog  for a walk before Sunday lunch !

No ouef-ensive jokes about whites please.

That’s one of your epic photos - one for your 2025 calendar !

The question is : where’s his Bucaneer?

A plethora of panniers perhaps:

That’s impressive chiselling with no collateral damage !

Is the buffet open for breakfast ?
