Are those stockings pre TOPS ?

The Major still standing there waiting for the right train to take him to where the fish are...

Been there so long he ignores the passing stock now.

 

That’s a satisfying picture - That’s a lovely tree obscuring the station name board.

The faff is well worth the effort  -  do you combine it with judicious dusting? 

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 !

He’s using his remote control to back the horses up a couple of feet so he can step into the van ito check he hasn’t forgotten to unload  something.

Thats a great viewing angle : I don’t remember it seeing before - so much going/not going on. I suspect there are several hundred views we’ve seen that are lost in the jpeg black hole!

It looks as though Kernow’s steam railmotor is catching up, coming in Q3-  but that’s been 9 years in gestation. It must be frustratinhg for those waiting for a black Manor having to wait while the fire tool tunnels are corrected on the green versions before the whole batch ships

You’re spoiling us , John - but more please !

Excellent choice of wheels- is this the Kwik-Fit depot for carts?   

That’s a relief- I thought it was a vapour trail left by the squadron leader which ended badly !,

A quiet moment in the coal yard at Stoke Courtenay. I think that with my stepson's help and expertise I've finally managed to get Affinity Photo to work with my new iMac.  Tomorrow will be a day of experimentation. More anon.

Lovely picture- absolutely no fuzzy bits except the horse’s feathersj!

I wonder if his tombstone has domed ends?

Irs funny but after 40 yrs those mogul slide bars look better than Dapol’s recent first attempt!

I’m sure the rest of the kit, the farm junk, is distributed around LM - heavily disguised.

The piggy on the left is aspiring to own his own Roller.

Funny enough, magnets were my first go to option but I couldn't get them to fit right due to the curvature of the roof, I did try to cut one down at an angle but without success. I think magnets could work but I just can't figure it out. I think you would need quite strong magnets and that makes it bigger and harder to fit and disguise 🤔

How about using a hunt elite coupling : the business end magnet , glued centrally to the interior of each end with the poles pointing up and almost  flush with the top. Inside the roof a small strip of ferrous material curved to fit and engage the magnet - glued in place. Perhaps this would spoil the internal detailing of the drivers compartment in which case the magnet could be located on a partition, assuming that it is secured to the underframe.

I haven’t tried it myself yet but I was thinking neodynium magnets to secure the autocoach roof.

Who broke the garage window? Was it a potato fight when they were last lifted?

Those are very large logs . You can hardly see the trees for the wood.

When does the week end?  

Nice copper

Morning...

 

I’m still admiring the ‘fig leaf’ buddleja . I hope it’s not blocking the hopper!

I couldn’t agree more. Having driven my daughters’ high tech cars my requirements are simple- rust proof body , engine built for at least 200k miles , reversing beeper, spare wheel , somewhere in the shade of the dashboard for phone/satnav, mechanical handbrake,  bluetooth for phone and that’s it. So I’m sticking with my 18 yr old Audi A3 tdi - perfect for rural driving and I avoid cities !

Blink and you’ll miss the viaduct plaque unveiling ceremony !  Lovely view of favourite loco.

It’s so long since we saw this area I’d forgotten the village shop with Arkwright standing outside hoping somebody would buy a paper. Todays headline ‘Mussolini invades Ethiopia’ should get some trade!
