L&MR horse wagon? Someone is trying to jump onto the Era 1 bandwagon??
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.

I was looking for photos of my local station when I saw these gems
I have for you here a pile-o-dirt photo as regularly used by children

And also available , mound-o-soil
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!

Cats do that! Some of ours (especially Toby!) are given to disappearing for a while and then returning as if nothing has happened!
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!

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.

A few from the Fawley, Hythe and Southampton in 1967, after passenger services had ceased but local goods services were just clinging on:

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.

13 years ago today, Kitt arrived at my home.
He was, quite literally, a handful back then.
This was him yesterday.
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!

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!

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?
