Brave fart?

We need to see the video! 😁

Is it in Australia?

How would we get past the Camel Trail / Sustrans people having a hissy fit if we asked for the railway path back?

I don't know how I got here, I seem to have stumbled into an RMWeb Twilight Zone. What does it all mean?

Thanks @Olive_Green1923 - that's a great cue for another Imaginary Railways topic. Some might suggest extending the Ruthernbridge Branch. We will need to explore the landscape. 😀

@aeroken1 - have you decided what you want to model? For all we know, you could be aiming for something as extreme as Gloucester station, which has the country's longest continuous platform at 602 metres, which would be about 26 feet of OO-gauge. It's entirely your choice. 😀

WARNING!!! This video contains graphic abuse of HO-gauge models

Agreed. Plus a design decision whether to model it as a joint GWR & Southern location, or just Southern / BR(S)

From the same people that bought you The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu, Tammy Wynette, Justified & Ancient (Stand by the JAMs). Doctorin' the Tardis. Fimed at various locations in Deepest East Wiltshire like Avebury, the Cherhill White Horse and the Lansdowne Monument, and the deserted RAF base at Yatesbury. This time driving a Ford Galaxie American "police car" instead of Tammy Wynette's Ice Cream Van.

A surprisingly good cover version (no gorilla in this one)

Way back when I started this topic, I mentioned a couple of out-of-the-way places. Spean Bridge and Corrour. By a strange coincidence, thanks to a life outside of RMWeb (shocking I know) and an interest in old droving roads, we have a Cunning Plan to visit one of the ancient Scottish droving routes. It might be with a Retriever or two. The plan (so far) is to get the train to a start at Rannoch Station https://www.google.com/maps/@56.6850667,-4.5764547,306m/data=!3m1!1e3!5m1!1e2?hl=en&entry=ttu Then a 18K jog : https://connect.garmin.com/modern/course/251122800 To Corrour Station. https://www.google.com/maps/@56.7605903,-4.6905871,3a,75y,107.2h,88.09t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1sAF1QipM2JAa2_rfjt2_NE3U7cmaGbsGPi7ZDs3Py_n2S!2e10!3e11!6shttps:%2F%2Flh5.googleusercontent.com%2Fp%2FAF1QipM2JAa2_rfjt2_NE3U7cmaGbsGPi7ZDs3Py_n2S%3Dw203-h100-k-no-pi-4.098425-ya114.225136-ro-0.010665402-fo100!7i5760!8i2880!5m1!1e2?hl=en&entry=ttu Followed by an overnight rest stop. Day two, Corrour Station to Spean Bridge Station : https://connect.garmin.com/modern/course/251047789 25K via Kinlochtreig and Corriecholie. to the Old Station Restaurant at Spean Bridge (for more extensive rehydration) http://www.oldstationrestaurant.co.uk/ and https://www.google.com/maps/@56.8902483,-4.9219384,3a,75y,155.81h,89.74t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1s0g8P-O-QjrOSoO5ibWfiZg!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D0g8P-O-QjrOSoO5ibWfiZg%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D233.84184%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i16384!8i8192!5m1!1e2?hl=en&entry=ttu All subject to sanity clause and midge seasonality.

It's only just occured to me - that should (Shirley) have been known as Grant Schapp's erectile dysfunction?

Or one for stores into Ludgershall?

£14.95 from various online e.g. https://www.hampshiremodels.co.uk/products/parkside-pc65-oo-gauge-br-12t-pallet-van-palvan-kit and https://railsofsheffield.com/products/parkside-pc65-br-12-ton-pallet-van-palvan etc

Or this one at Eastleigh

Perhaps like this one?

Would the new Bachmann 12t Palvan be suitable? https://news.Bachmann.co.uk/2024/03/Bachmann-reveal-oo-scale-palvans-at-the-palace/

Our neighbours are complaining about the potholes in the road. it seems some aren't deep enough?

Diary note: At 23:59 on 31st March, send an email to Peco, asking when they are launching their new range of Peco Streamline Mixed-Gauge track.

Just found on Flickr in "Local Studies at Swindon Central Library."

Aha! Now we know... ... from the era when the GWR Railway Museum was still in the middle of town, on Faringdon Road, not where it is now.
