  1. Yes, that’s what we do on the interweb at 7.15 every morning with a bowl of nutty muesli and a cup of coffee!
  2. Is your Grange cleared for crossing the viaduct to Little Muddle- otherwise it won’t be running very far !
  3. I think if you were hoping for the Mk1 door slam to be replaced by a Collett door clunk you might be disappointed!
  4. I watched that train depart from Bristol TM that day, a splendid sight indeed. I heard the King had failed but surprised the Manor had to be taken off too! Thank you for the inside story !
  5. Brilliant , but the oddest thing is that nobody there has seemed to notice!
  6. Spectacular distance these milk tankers have covered, good to see them again in another world. I wonder if they will run through Encombe Town eventually.
  7. I never minded waiting at the level crossing gates at Betchworth in the hope of seeing one!
  8. There was a long wait, after the excellent Mainline Manor, for the Airfix Castle; my local model shop near Epsom Station got fed up with a stream of impatient customers asking for it after it had been advertised, but not delivered. Sadly the model didn’t deliver either when I bought it!
  9. I didn’t know your traction engine was called Serenely - but I like it !
  10. At least the Manors don’t have batteries and won’t set a ship or plane on fire. Imagine all the 3700 Egyptians waiting for their German cars after the recent car carrier fire. I bet VWweb is ablaze too !
  11. It’s the Bovine service train!
  12. Is he doing a Haka or is he the chap licking the labels to go on the Manor parcels?
  13. That’s a great view of the world of Clun. I like the idea of a dust fly sheet - that and the ‘do not trespass’ sign. A combination of the two might deter the constant woodlouse invasion suffered in Limpley Stoke.
  14. .......... so he got up and spat on the ceiling
  15. Are those stockings pre TOPS ?
  16. That’s a satisfying picture - That’s a lovely tree obscuring the station name board.
  17. The faff is well worth the effort - do you combine it with judicious dusting?
  18. I’ve just had to tell my 42 year old Mainline Manor she can retire : I’ve given her three weeks notice which should be about right !
