It was a good gig. Lots of classics but they also played 2-3 from their new album Black Red. Myself, the gf & a friend went drinking in Camden so we missed the support. But for each venue they had a smaller, different rock group supporting.

Coulsdon Town? Albeit modern the A23 goes under the station directly. Dug out & built in 2006/7. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.3225078,-0.1363521,17z?entry=ttu Redhill? A25 road comes down the hill & under 3 platforms + sidings & through tracks. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.2400376,-0.1662937,3a,75y,103.24h,92.94t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1swq1MWf9arYrML9ah2QSTjA!2e0!5s20230401T000000!7i16384!8i8192!5m1!1e1?entry=ttu

I believe it's the last standing remnants of one of the Dietzsch lime kilns that were built on site between 1867 and 1900. A lot of the other buildings were demolished.

Completed another section of the North Downs Way today. Reigate Hill - Stepping Stones in Dorking. Passed by the old Betchworth & Brockham quarries & limeworks.

Seeing as I'm going to see them next Thurs at the Roundhouse with the gf 🙃

It's a Bachmann. From looking at the various US railfan sites I browse, NS 6551 IRL is actually an SD60 standard cab loco.
-
The bridge is too dirty & the loco too clean! 😆 -
Never thought when I'd be job hunting/redundant I'd be so happy with everything else in life!
-
If you fancied modelling sand traffic & 3rd rail at the same time!

Friendly (or just hungry) squirrel in Battersea Park recently...

Making the most of my free time in between interviews & job applications. Cue a trip to the Natural History Museum on Monday. The only dinosaur that matters - the Stegosaurus 🙃 Also took a stroll around Hyde Park & the surrounding area as it was very quiet!

Making me want to get another Ruston! MUST RESIST! 😆😆 -
Went for a mooch in Crystal Palace Park then the town after seeing the gf in Croydon this wk. Even in rugged, urban South London you can still get some amazing shots!

Loving all the little additions that keep appearing! -
What is it with Dapol coupling hooks? You do so much as look at them & they ping into outer space!! 🥴

Way Down Yonder - Somewhere in Louisiana (HO)
Rich_F replied to DanielB's topic in USA & Canadian Railroads
As someone who often dabbles in US HO, find that weathering & patching freight stock is surprisingly fun to do. -
- 9 x spoked wheels - 4 x Bachmann disc wheels Already have a large stash of disc wheels so these aren't needed. Postage only please.

See this class 47. That' s probably what it is...

Yes I was born in the wrong decade. I wish I was a teenager/20 something in the late 80s/early 90s. Alas I was 10 years later. Still a banger for a c. 40 yr old track!
-
Nice weathering guideline pic. So I can trash my little 4 wheel wagons 😈

Giving inspiration for a hidden platform-type micro of my own! Lovely little cameo layout. -
That's a good deal. I've bought one of those in the past & I couldn't get one for under £45 in as good a condition as the example you picked up! If you're inclined give it a service & clean & it'll run nicely as a nice little switching/short train loco.
-
I saw that come up the other day on my subs list! Definitely a scene I'd like to model in the future!

My current gf introduced me to Creeper. A lot of their stuff is quite punky/emo, but their latest album 'Sanguivore' is very enjoyable. Lots of Meatloaf/Rammstein-esque tracks with some electronic beats.
