  3. Except that it's the irresponsibility of the idiot that effects the non idiots that's the problem.
  4. Also, this one from 1890-1900 showing both steam and sail at Kings Lynn. https://norfolk.spydus.co.uk/cgi-bin/spydus.exe/FULL/PICNOR/BIBENQ/225575360/47429679,13 Edit :- Looks like the link has time expired!

  7. Well, if you want to follow a good rad on WW1 Army life, I just came across this site. The diary entries for Colonel Dunsterville during WW1 Lionel Charles D’Arcy Dunsterville (9 Nov 1865 – 18 Mar 1946) was born in Switzerland to an officer in the Indian Army and a lady of English descent who had been born in South Africa. He had five older sisters and went to the United Services College in Devon in 1875. It was here he made the acquaintance of G. C. Beresford and Rudyard Kipling, the latter of whom immortalised Dunsterville as ‘Stalky’ in ‘Stalky & Co.‘, published in 1899. These diary entries therefore start in July of 1914, although earlier years (from 1911) are available to those who are interested. I will endeavour to post each entry exactly 100 years to the day from when it was originally written; therefore please continue to visit throughout the next four years. Thank you for reading! Details here https://stalkydiariesww1.wordpress.com/about/ Starting at the bottom of this page https://stalkydiariesww1.wordpress.com/2014/07/ and going upwards! Very entertaining reading
  8. What about a Kite. http://what-when-how.com/birds/red-kite-birds/
  9. Looking good. Any chance of an overall picture of the layout. You've been busy making all these buildings, etc. It would be good to see them in situ and see how they go together. Dave
  10. Saw a few today whilst out walking the dogs on the South Downs. Small White (Pair) Woodland Brown (2-3 off) Painted Lady (Single) Red Admiral ( 3-4 off)
  11. Some clips here from other ones in the programs series https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0335c1n https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p035qpn4 https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p030z3q6 https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p030z2l9 https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p030z1ht Plus a few more !! https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006np8r/clips
  12. Think that Image 6 may be is Saffron Waldon http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/s/saffron_walden/ https://britainfromabove.org.uk/en/image/EPW025909
  13. May be worth checking to see that something suspicious has not been uploaded onto your phone. Somebody I heard about had something similar happen, and the returned phone had some extra software/malware/virus on it.
  14. Looks like it was King Haakon. It was repainted at Bressingham and then taken to Warner Brothers studios to be used in "The Legend of Tarzan" film. http://www.eadt.co.uk/what-s-on/bressingham-steam-locomotive-plays-part-in-upcoming-legend-of-tarzan-film-1-4600741 I took the photo's in July 2014, so probably on it's way to the studio. Film released in 2016.
  15. Don't think it's "Norwegian", see here https://norwegianlocomotivetrust.com/no-376-norwegian-gallery/ the rivet detail on the side of the cab is different and there's no step on the tender. Think it might be "King Haakon VII" although as you say that's normally green. This one was lined black. https://www.railpixtc.co.uk/Steam/Preserved-Railways/Bressingham/i-dfxfRPT/A
  16. Saw this heading down the A14 a few years back. Seem to remember that it was Norwegian, possibly "King something or other"?
  17. That image, (or something similar) has been here on RMWeb before! Another thread where someone was asking where about's for an unknown location. EDIT to say "I'm stupid!!!!" accidentally went back to the start thinking it was the latest updates. The image is on this thread!! doh!
  18. Here's something to temp him back! https://youtu.be/FeojYgl5GFE
  19. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/107713-castle-aching/page-77&do=findComment&comment=2490637 Been here before! Nov 2016. Peterstone brickworks.
  20. Not a legal requitement, but Ponies on Dartmoor and cows on Hungerford common have been painted in reflective paint to enable them to be seen at night https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/11906156/Dartmoor-ponies-to-be-painted-blue-and-given-reflective-beads.html
  21. No problem, in fact if you want an A4 version to print out, see attached pdf file Castle Aching.pdf
