  1. I don't understand the listing Its in Boxed Condition, but the powered wheels are loose on the axle? Was Triang's quality control then as bad as Boeing's is today?
  2. Assuming (and that may be a rather optimistic assumption) that it really is 00 gauge, then it looks more like a Talyllyn slate wagon in 7mm/ft.
  3. I have spent my working life around spoil heaps and similar things. Must have thousands of such pictures. At £2 a go, could retire easily!
  4. The explanation is given by Terry Pratchet in his The Unadulterated Cat. They are really Schrodinger's cats who can time travel, so they can skip forward a couple of days and get the massive Welcome Home feed and cuddles!
  5. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-68021178https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-68021178 Prison for stealing a cat? About time too!
  6. I also think it is a reproduction, reason being I have had the same map hanging on my wall for forty years or so. I know that was a reproduction when I bought it, but can't remember where from now.
  7. Hello darkness my old friend - Simon and Garfunkel
  8. We are but little sailors weak - RN sailors of many vintages
  9. Tomorrow shall be my dancing day - trad (arranged Rutter)
  10. A few from the Fawley, Hythe and Southampton in 1967, after passenger services had ceased but local goods services were just clinging on: Hythe: Fawley goods yard
  11. Come into the garden, Maud - Alfred Lord Tennyson (& M Balfe)
  12. Can't buy me love - The Beatles (again)
  13. Sixteen going on Seventeen - Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein
  14. She moved through the fair - Irish trad
  15. Trip the light fantastic - Greta van Fleet
  16. Very sorry to hear that.
  17. A thought about the layout of the sidings. I remember some having the sidings at the edge of the yard, with much more space between the tracks so that the mobile crane and lorries could service either siding without having to move too far. Example here of Hythe (Hants) in 1967: The left hand track is only a few yards from the yard boundary fence and the right hand one near the base of the railway embankment on which the passenger station stood.
  18. He is an impressive cat. I assume the snow seen through the windows of him as a kitten is the same snow fall that Tilly was finding out what fun it is to play in the snow: She was still a kitten at the time (8 months) but a good deal bigger than a handful!
  19. Tilly is not happy with the latest storm. Being narrow gauged, and high windage with her long fur, she is afraid of getting blown over!
