If its SO rare why is it not MORE expensive?

Thanks. I'd forgotten about this site. Just goes to show, it's worth repeating things over the years.

Three DAYS! Thirty YEARS and I'm still PLANNING my next layout.

Each to thier own, and I don't mind the occasional smelly box appearing, but to my eyes the infastructure and general setting of the Seven Vally just seems so wrong for all this moderen stuff.

This is as good a railway photograph as I've ever seen; seriously, I am reminded of O Winston Link, and while he was a horrible man, there is no higher praise in my view for a railway photographer...

He wasn't a horrible man, but his ex wife and friend were most vile!

"Rushcliffe Halt Class 45 Jan 71".

That is such a wonderfull shot. Thank you so much for taking the trouble originaly to get it. So tempting to have stayed in bed!

Different character to the building, but better looking, more realistic finish IMHO. Superb!

Good lighting in all your pictures. You're as much a photographer as a modeller. 

Nice selection of photos. Thanks for sharing.

Golf bats! That made I larf that did.

Thank you for sharing all your incredible work, please keep it up. 

What a great little film. Midlands today programme? 

Not quite on topic, but it does involve model railways. Back in the late 1990's i got to know a chap who had worked for Stewarts & Lloyds and I think was involved with Sundew in some way. He was in his late 70's when I met him. He had built a model of Sundew in near enough 4mm. It was fully operational, including the walking function. The jib was nearly 6ft long. It was exhibited at Expo EM in 1998 with the Eastwell Ironstone layout that I was exhibiting at the time and was great fun to operate. Some of you might remember seeing it there.

Would that be the model that's at the Cottesmore railway perhaps?

That's some seagull that is! You'd know if that hit you in the face.

All very good, EXCEPT we don't own it! It's not OURS to do with what we will.

I used to know the chap who did own it, and yes he was a dreamer and was told it was all a lost cause, but you know what? At least he HAD a dream. You never know what's going to happen in the future and no matter how far gone something is, while it exists it can at the very least inspire others. Once it's scrapped that's the end of it, no matter what. One hope left, Bob.

After all, why bother searching for, digging up and then re-burying some old King's bones? Were never going to bring him back to life are we? (I'm glad they did though).

Thanks for that link. Some great pictures on there, wish mine were half as good!

I for one will be committing a Giro or two, especially as we've been "Down an' dirty" together in the past!
