    Move to Buxton in wonderful Derbyshire is complete, well all our stuff is in the house. Some work for Mrs B and me to get some semblance of order. The main problem at the moment seems to be locating something you have seen amoungst the boxes but can't remember where?

     

    Still at least the snow has arrived to greet us!

    The world has gone mad.

    People apparently don't want a 'nanny state' when it comes to Covid-19; yet warnings are apparently necessary to protect some sensitive souls from an episode of Fawlty Towers.

      Cleese was surely taking the p1ss out of a certain type of English stereotype, with attitudes towards 'Johnny Foreigner' that were outdated even in the 1970s, in creating the character of 'The Major'.

      4 types in the main, tall and shorter, Midland & Stanier LMS types. The MR types had capuchons, the LMS types didn't. Dependant on the period being modelled, go by a verifiably dated photo. Chances are you'll end up with the shorter LMS type Mike, like this one http://www.rail-online.co.uk/p144309771/h6ccce43#h6ccce43
