Are you trying to confuse the spam drivers learning the route ? As I said before , be careful where you 'place your posts' : you're safer on this thread ! Mike -
Was that The Archers Sunday programme ? I thought Phil had Pegged it. No mention of red cows though.

Has Mr Roper just broken wind or is it his bad back from all that portering? Could it be the sight of one of those new fangled Southern Railway three legged machines that has upset his composure ?
-
I'm just worrying about those lupins which still look in fine bloom - does Mr Roper know the Ugborough show is next week?

"Persons in charge of locomotives are warned against attempting passage of the bridge without the consent of the county surveyor. By order of the County Justice" THAT Lydia !

Thank you for that - major surgery is not on my agenda, but perhaps somebody might fill that niche with a RTR model of a driving trailer- based on any of the pregrouping panelled stock. Mike
-
Thank you for that information, I will shelve my plans for ruining a perfectly good model ! Mike
-
It all depends on where you place your posts !

The 8 compartment brake 3rd could be converted then, having no lavatories - I will have to get the book which hopefully has some illustrations and drawings.
-
Is this a push -pull set ?-- and if so are any of the Hornby brakes suitable for conversion to a driving car ?
-
Fair point- but it was on !

Lovely.. A signal worth stopping for!

After seeing all these excellent pics of the USA dock tank in 1947, in a couple of years we could be seeing a Swindon 1500 class, no domes, lovely valve gear that couldn't possibly offend. Has any RTR manufacturer put it on ther to-do list?

I don't know whether you'd weather one........

Or the Yanks who haven't gone home.....

1968, now that was a really good year.... Got me going again. First visit to the 'Dart Valley Railway' following graduation- B&B at The Trout at Staverton, but wait- the year is 1947- what's overpaid oversexed and over here..........?
-
It's probably one of those American dock tanks with all its giblets showing........
-
Could it be an oil-burning Hall ?

If you are visiting the South coast you could also squeeze in a visit to Rye, especially if you are an E.S. Benson fan. Lovely cobbled streets, small fishing harbour and the ancient Mermaid Inn for lunch.

That takes me back to the mid- fifties : Platform 1, Paddington, the Torbay Express to my auntie's in Torquay, packed lunches on endless cliff walks, usually in drizzle, and up and down that cliff railway- I haven't seen it since. The journeys there and back were the best bits, though!

I had to do a double take - that coach looks really well run in! The model figure is very realistic too. Thanks for sharing Mike
