  1. I see the recent Halifax survey rated South Hams as 12th best place to live in the U.K. A testament to Rob's modelling skills!
  2. My 5yr old grandson has just been to stay for a couple of days and for the first time he hasn't wanted to see anything of my trains! I blame Tractor Ted-- he now wants to be a tractor driver when he grows up. Having said that I used to be fascinated by the working model tractor dioramas in the science museum - but you couldn't own a decent model of one in the 50's, (unless my mother didn't tell me).
  3. I have a railroad H33 on my back burner. I have sanded the roof to a more agreeable profile and inset the ends and plan now to custom flushglaze the existing body. I see the refurbished H33 had longitudinal gas tanks but didn't the original diagram have transverse gas tanks ? . The Hornby paint job matches my new Collett coaches so well I couldn't bear to cover it with brass!
  4. How true ! Looking over the fence to watch the trains at Brent is better than a heritage railway- no Mark 1 coaches and no expense. Only the smell and the sound are missing !! Long may our host keep adding to the excitement!
  5. " I say, Minnie, those new signal thingys seem to have blown away, and there's no hole in the ground- isn't that wierd"
  6. Sandringham now runs on biomass boilers so one no longer sees one's breath while giving the Christmas Message to camera !
  7. Well I can't get my cattle into my new SR cattle wagon because to they are spooked by the satin finish and the orange floor. Poor things thought they were going on a holiday to Devon!
  8. Perfect in my iPad using the Issuu App. Having clicked the ' keep me updated'' button I'm hopeful of being informed of the resumption of HYS.
  9. Mr Warburton is a very patient man, he has posed for a very long time for that photograph. I'm sure he is a recently demobbed RAF chap with that moustache! He is probably carrying some victory rolls in his case. He wants you to know that the MREmag site is now active and the first issue is available!
  10. Pity it has Airfix sized rims to the driving wheels- I thought it was OO at first glance. Sorry, wheel obsession aired- back to nodding.
