  1. Could we be reminded who the gent on the seat with the Sisters Finching is ? He doesnt seem to have offered them one of his chips and I can't see any seagulls!
  2. A baker called Mr Warburton Created a crumpet, I'm certain He'd win a bet For the largest you'd get. As a winner he kept his shirt on
  3. I wonder if Mr Warburton has any he could share? I don't think he has been scared away by those new-fangled signals so he should still be there.
  4. There's a real spacious feel to this shot- the backscene seems to be so very distant! The skill in your scenery is in that we don't notice it- it's so naturally coloured that nothing sticks out- apart from the Western!
  5. Was renumbering straightforward in 1946? 1430 was allocated to Bath Road, Bristol in 1948, and I have found an image of 4830 in 1937 : could this be the same engine? It's a bit weird here, SWMBO has been playing the mournful sounds of Leonard Cohen continually!
  6. I shall be renumbering this, as I said. I need to find a photo of one shedded at Westbury- though I suspect none were!
  7. My wheel obsession : I like the dimpled axle ends but don't like the spoke profile at the hub or the wide rims. It spoils the illusion.
  8. Annoyingly both my grandsons much prefer going to see tractors and combine harvesters. I blame all the superb 1:20 Bruder models they collect.
  9. Good morning I confess to having a bit of an obsession with locomotive wheels. While Hornby produce nice dimpled axle ends on their drivers Bachmann do not, so I have tried using a 1/8 inch punch (Amazon) to produce axle end covers for them The hard part is trying to get a dimple impressed precisely at the centre and the disc centred on the wheel as you can see!
  10. That will do nicely, but I'm a little concerned about the asymmetrical fenestration of the first floor. Is it a scalescenes stone texture?
  11. Anything Grangey and lots of scenery please! But not if your lens is going to steam up like my glasses do in my garage'.
  12. Those excellent new signals seem to have stopped the trains going through Brent. No wonder the Finching sisters were worried about them!
