G'day Folks

 

Not much to look forward to.

The forecast for this year looks pretty bad. You’ve forgot the evolution of the Murder Wasps in America. I’m sure they’ll take over around August sometime. As for the secondary pandemic, is that when the WiFi goes down world wide?

If you don’t pay off your exorcist, your house may be repossessed.

A backboard has been added. Next to create the building shape and place foam board with windows.

Progress continues!

On the scale of cat, my time in lockdown started at a 6 but now is Rapidly moving into a 5...soon it will end up either 7 or 8..

lockdown isn’t fun anymore 

I found this on YouTube. It’s the rather bizarre looking 1500 class cut down to look even more bizarre.

i think it’s possible to model it.

Here’s a joke I made

it does however require knowledge of both Southern region tank engines and Dinosaurs.

Meanwhile, in OO gauge Riverside Works:

I’ve got one of 60009 as she passed through Toton.

A photo of 60009 ‘Union of South Africa’ as she passed through Toton. 

Doctor: you need to distance yourself from people. At least two meters.

me: carry on as normal then?

Look up the page a bit!

I completely missed that!

I guess my page didn’t load correctly 

Will the Char 2C show up on this layout? 

Whilst on the subject, where did it go?

I found this on the YouTube.

It’s rather accurate...

(turns out that I completely missed that someone else uploaded this already )

Quality stuff!

Plus the addition of FTs makes anything look better

I can hear the artillery from here... 

i figures out what the Gladiator railway guns were used for...

(A two minute photoshop)

I had a go with editing history:

“So that’s what they were used for...”

That’s just given me an idea...

On the subject of Diesel engines; correct me if I’m wrong (which is likely) but I’m sure the original Diesel engine was never initially designed for fossil fuels and won a Gran Prix by running on Peanut oil! 
Only after Rudolf Diesel died suspiciously on a ship did the engine run on fossil fuel.

so with this information we could return diesels back to the peanut oil days instead of deleting them from as a power source.

i would quite like to see a Class 40 running on peanut oil

Compared to some things people get up to in hotels, this one's a treat...

It certainly is rather awesome

A layout built in a hotel is not something you see every day

Are the hotel owners ok with a layout being built?  

that 33 looks like a fresh off the production line loco compared to the other engines. it stands out quite a lot
I presume it will be weathered just like them some day?

I saw two BR large logo grey class 20s in charge of a freight train in Nottingham a few months ago. It looked like it had gotten stuck as I waited at the station for it to go by for about an hour.

Instead a cleaner train pulled by two 66s went through instead.

Anyway, superb photography of these locos here at Seven Mills. I thought one was of a full scale loco

There’s a gas outlet on a massive building in Notts which I go by on the bus often. It is surrounded by signs saying ‘FLAMMABLE GAS, NO SMOKING’
but sure enough there were at least five people huddled around it smoking.

if that building ever explodes it wouldn’t be hard finding out why... 

I haven’t been to the GCR since last year. It really is a wonderful place, kinda like a Jurassic Park but with locomotives

I grew up nearer the Avon Valley Railway which is a nice little railway but nothing compared to the might that is the Great Central.

The AVR is like a little train set, small but good, and the GCR is like a full 60ft exhibition layout in O, massive and spectacular!

any chance you’ll have a video of the event too?
