O can run on OO and vice versa? Since when? ;-)

Not much trade support for L gauge either.

Which programme on Radio 4 was it on?

Sums it up LOL

'Sketchorama',might have been radio 4 extra

Lets see how far you get...

There's nothing quite like opening the cabin window to deer, lochs and glens is there?

Let’s hope some snow aswell, and 2 73s to get through it

Thanks

Send it also to Steam Railway so they can be named and shamed. Was it one of WCRs steam locos?

Yes. Jacobite on the WHL extension

Railhead treatment?

It is still blocked. Train goes up as far as Armathwaite and returns.

Yes, maybe RHTT. Probably worth getting up early to see it

very suitable with the weather there at the moment

From what I understand reading between the lines, ATW were trying to run a service with one hand tied behind their backs. I don't suppose it helped that gubbermint withdrew the finances for the Valleys and west of Cardiff electrification.

Very droll.

Too many young people have nothing to do, not welcome at home, nowhere else to go and the feeling that society has forgotten them. The only way to get attention is to kill someone, blow themselves up or vandalise historic artefacts.

One for the politicians.

Cut off their goolies ,slice them through.

DavidCBroad - one for all of us, in reality.

Friday before Christmas is always especially bad, Virgin had only called off todays strike yesterday but some services are still cancelled and many booked with TPE because at the time, they couldn’t with VT.

Oh dear, hope you get to your destination safely. Though when they were around London Midland were excellent at that game!

Your seat got a vestibule end, that’s sounds painful, will it be gone by Christmas?

Drone(s) returned about an hour ago.

Just waiting for other 'enthusiasts' to target Heathrow & Stanstead as well..

Forget the usual 'slap on the wrist now dont be a naughty boy' sentancing these days - just publish their address for those affected

Good luck, my turn next year.

Thanks, really pleased with mine.

Well done!

Thanks, all volunteers were amazing and I couldn't have asked for more friendly and knowledgeable guides. I picked up a friends leaflet and will consider.

I was going to go yesterday, but went for a walk round Abingdon instead

Pendon just gets better and better

Top Tip #2 - Buy another screw. When it's arrived and you've used it, you're bound to find the one you've lost.

Use a bright torch or light to look for it. Amazing what a difference it can make.

Yes but he was looking for the buffer from a Hornby 58 at the time... :-D

As far as people I spoke to are concerned, last year I only spoke to about 20 people - mainly traders, but also the people I was with.

It means that the club didn't task anyone with doing a calendar entry. Not our fault at this end!

It's the new rule book, they've streamlined it and reduced it to the essentials.

So they can pay drivers less, eh?

Going by the signal it's GW. About normal... ;-)

Oh dear....

Doubt it will attract such crowds as 50 years ago though....

Once you start on my Optare Solo I'll worry...

So, how's the industrial steam modelling going?

Those Barclays look like two cool dudies.

Please could someone put the kettle on?

I probably shouldn't have worded it like that.

Just got her, thanks

Excellent, lovely loco. Hope the sun was shining for you.

Yes, think I'll get her on her return aswell

Surely a bit rude calling Camilla "a train"....bike maybe...but not train

I found my way to Marylebone one day, was probably in my pre teens. An exhibition train was in. I rushed over with my notepad and some geezer grabbed it and started writing in it. I grabbed it back with an OI!. It was Booby something footballer apparently. I just wanted to see the coaches.

I notice a lot of these VIPs / celebs have developed the ability to look through people they meet, rather than looking at them.

Mertons was a "sub-Portillo" travalogue, whilst Hislop did a "reasonable" history of the Beeching era.

I was impressed by Merton's coverage of the disposal facilties at Drigg. Not seen anything that thorough from other journos.

I built a Peco Goods Shed for my DofE Bronze Project. That was years ago though.

I built s small layout for mine, had the owner of the local model shop provide an assessment on it.

"Excellent work - but could have been even better with a few more expensive bits of scenery or track?"
