From The Evening Post. http://www.thisisbristol.co.uk/pound-100-million-promised-Temple-Meads-revamp/story-17309131-detail/story.html Item on new works at Temple Meads, which may be linked to CK's recent set of excellent photos, and electrification of London Bristol route..

First Great Western ran several Community Partnership Charter Trains out to Portbury and Henbury today. This link shows some of the sights on the route including a brief glimpse of Filton Airfield. http://www.flickr.com/photos/16582147@N07/sets/72157631649576665/

I liked the shot of the feight, one the large GWR freight tanks would look good with the freight. The Bachmann cabinet at the station had some interesting items 3 Directors, Midland Rwy 4F, some Compounds and a set of Nanking Blue carriges with two diesel units.

Had an enjoyable day out. Took some snaps in the mist and rain. http://www.flickr.com/photos/16582147@N07/sets/72157631593755769/

The clip on Youtube ends with the naming of Knicker Brook. All the recent talk of a badger cull made me search for the Badgers in the Wood story, I eventually found an hour long clip of Blaster Bates at Market Drayton.

Just been listening and watching a recording of Blaster Bates. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKc01xRadcI

Taken 10 days ago, the coach goes back to the 50s, the HST design to the 70s, the logo to the 80s, and the GPO building is still an eyesore.

Just noticed this http://www.bristolsteam64.co.uk/ on The Bristol Railway Archive Site. It covers 1964 steam locos in Bristol Apologies if someone has linked it before.

A couple of shots taken on July 29th 2012, showing Bristol and Exeter House from the main road.

Anther shot from me of Ashton Swing Bridge from the river, as posted on Peter Lawson's Bristol Rail Archive site. http://bristol-rail.co.uk/wiki/File:Ashton_Swing_Bridge11.jpg

Closing scenes of Hitler My Part in His Downfall shot on Bluebell Railway, with GWR Dukedog and SECR tender. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aVMnIyUpYo&feature=related There was a scene with a horseman whipping his steed as a goods train passes in Ken Russell's 'Women In Love'. The engine appeared to have no bunker, and the guard's van was marked 'M R'.

to plaice an order?

Some views of Bristol during the Balloon Fiesta taken from the air. There are views over the Harbour, Temple Meads, Queen's Square, Clifton Triangle - can't remember if the Ashton Bridge is on it. http://www.flickr.com/photos/16582147@N07/sets/72157627305087491/

DCC - how easy are the chips installed or removed, and where is the fitting? Is there scope for fitting a speaker? What approach is used in coupling tender to loco?

O207-35353535 Chelsea help line. A very uneven set of results from some of the top sides in the Premier League so far. Not looking forward to the Wolves score today unless MCFC implode.

The motorway around Manchester has been renumbered as the M6 1.

New helpline for Man U fans 0161-6161616.

Yes, well done. I took the shots a couple of weeks ago, the place was full of morris dancers hauling a cartload of rushes on an extended pub crawl.

this is why it was not Halifax, but you are getting warmer, but not warm enough.

Where and what is this structure?

I have posted some pictures on flickr fot the time being. http://www.flickr.com/photos/16582147@N07/

Hornby's new revamped website is up and running.

Just what you don't need at the moment. Doesn't sound good, must be a big fault to do that. Hope it isn't too expensive.
