What does the panel think of using swede (that'll be neep to viewers up top, but who cares as they're rutabagas anyway) in a veg curry?
The Mrs has gone off to meet her daughter in Malta for 10 days and left loads of veg that isn't pies, sausages, white bread or chips and I'm bu99ered if I know what to do with it!

Am I grumpy because a) I've had a busy week, b) it's hot or c) there's some proper door handles here?

Back at the desk in our Chiltern Hills office today. Looking through and sorting nearly 800 photographs taken over the last couple of days during our site visit and survey...

@woodenhead, if he had photographs of an 800 Class 2-4-0 taken over the last couple of days, that would be interesting!

The English language is really stupidly complex sometimes:
I was thinking the BBC is really scraping the barrel if it is going to do a competition about the UK's best sewerage systems.
But apparently, it's about needle and thread.

When you get asked to Peer Review an article for a brand new magazine and it turns out to be penned by an exceptional railway modeller, albeit not Southern, and friend... #imnotreallyworthy

The two high arc roof LBSCR vehicles seen here on this E. J. Bedford photo of the up Newhaven Boat train at Lewes post 1889 remain unidentified. I have found a photo of what is described as a Midland horsebox kit (photos below), but there seems to be some doubt about who the kit's maker is, or was. There seems to be a similarity (compare photos), given that the Bedford photo is taken at an acute angle and the arc of the Midland vehicle is not a smooth continuous arc and its planking is vertical, not horizontal as on the Brighton vans. I've never found a drawing or Diag. number or a more detailed photo of the Brighton van, but it looks about the same length as the vehicle in front which is either a Stroudley PLV or a Bullion van. Its function also remains mysterious, but they always seem to have gone around in pairs. Anyone know the Midland horsebox kit's maker, availability or ceased trading?

The Midland vehicle shown in both LMS and MR livery is a covered carriage truck - not the end doors. The vehicle to its left in the second photo is a Midland horsebox. I'm not sure whose kits they were; I'm pretty sure they're not currently available. Mousa Models did do some etched kits for Midland NPCS but they're not currently advertised.

That's the #Census2021 completed this lunchtime, I resisted the temptation to state my Religion as "Southern Railway"!

Why do scantily clad ladies keep appearing in my RMweb Google ad feed?

Does anyone else build a load of stock and structures for a layout they don’t have? Or even have space for?

Reading RM from Oct 1990 and getting depressed about the prices of things.

Today, at Stalybridge Ticket Office, I asked how much was a "return to normal"?
The clerk said it was very expensive and there wasn't a train due for ages!!
