'Newton Abbott' is not available and not applicable and is also non-active, but Newton Abbot might be (I can neither confirm nor deny what may or may not be the case, in this or any other town in or outside of South Devon).
Sorry! Must try harder . I must have said two teas please while dictating to Siri.....

Can't you see the wires on the telegraph pole?
I didn't know Newton Abbot had a scrapyard, or have I had a mis-acronymism...Convert it into the 74xx that was shredded at NA and use on a freight?

How about a Sunday engineering closure on the main line so 6417 could handle a small engineers train?I really need to find some more work for 6417.

Rob, I meant to post this a few pages back to support you very nice 64XX pic that I had not seen before.
......and I've just realised that the coach looks suspiciously like a WR driving Trailer. If it is then I shall have to build the one in the box in the loft.
Filth.
Is that an overhead cable warning sign on the end - if so why? it's far too old to run near the Heathrow Express!,

I have chosen to live with mine by 'colouring in' the windowsills with a non permanent brown fine fibre tip pen (Staedtler lumocolor) - easy to wipe any mistakes with a moist finger. Incidentally I measured the sunshine window height of my original Mainline 3rds at 10.2 mm and to my surprise my early Bachmann Bk 3rd is also 10.2 mm,Agreed, but unless I have overlooked it in my search for perfection there is no etched side for the E159 brake composite as perpetrated by Bachmann. Never mind: I do have the germ of an idea to rehabilitate mine and if it comes to nought there are always other projects to take forward!

I thought Bachmann had modified the tooling along the Replica pattern where the windows are only 9.2 mm high! I remember the early Mainline models had a tendency to go banana shaped,and assumed the smallers windows made this less likely.
I would have a go at flush glazing if I could work out how to round the corners of an accurately cut acetate window panel.

Sorry, what was the question?
Why do you keep asking me who is the prime minister?? Nobody knows......

Seaton Junction ( if it's not, and I'm wrong, I shall stand in the corner).
That's a Southern lattice signal post so you could well be right......

OMDB.
I'm getting left behind with acronyms, is there an explanatory booklet to go with ANTB? ..... LS

Perhaps that's laughing stock.......Inside Minnie's LVG folder:
Her 1947 Cup Final Ticket 10/6 and Match Programme signed by all the players (they'll be worth a lot on eBay one day)
Worth a lot more than today's players. We should have played Iceland at rugby.....
-
I see the Chief Executive of the FA goes by the name Martin Glenn.I wonder if he specialises in weathering stock for ANTB.....
Perhaps that's laughing stock.......

Certainly not- and that's the right West Country adjective for him.Well, you're not laughing now, are you?!
Arrse.

Day off today Rob ? or are signing from time to time to check us oldies are behaving.
Give Rob a chance- he's probably checking the footbridge CAD scans!
Or chuckling at Mr Farage in the European Parliament

Hey Mr Warburton! Come over and look at my lupins : I'm entering them in the Ugborough show!

Does BREXIT spell the end for the German discount supermarkets? Hope not because I always park in Aldi when I go to the Agri-merchants when I am back in Blighty.
TIXERB spells reversal of BREXIT though....

It's pure escapism looking at your take on rural 1947, but watch out for the politicians planning the future of GWR !

The Grange heads west with the down milk train of tankers and siphons.
Gold top behind a copper top.
(Did the EU make us change the gold to blue?)

Not another unboxing video.....Bob is putting it on ebay.He's a discerning modeller now.
-
Surely this is the view from on the footbridge.
Foggy day? Or has one of Swindon's finest just let off a cloud of steam?
At this rate we'll be on page 800 by the end of this week!
Out of interest, though, what is the record and will Rob beat it ?

" You know, If these trains always run this empty, someone might think it would be a good idea to close the line one day"Talking of old buffers, what's the conversation here.

Another scene this time from Brief Encounter.
Dammit Cedric, I've trodden in something!

Not a Castle or a Spam is it.
How on earth can the driver see the guard waving his green flag, or pick up his token for single line working. At least he can't fall out of the window when the train tilts !
A Nod To Brent - a friendly thread, filled with frivolity, cream teas and pasties. Longing for the happy days in the South Hams 1947.

I think the firebox has the wrong profile- is it too late for the tools to be modified ?
