Forgotton sons - Marillion. Sorry, couldn't resist!

Happiness is the-... Oh, ok, I'll go for something different! Tobacco Road - take your pick from the many many artists.

Happiness Is The Road - Marillion. Yes, I'm going to keep at it!

I do like that one! If I might make a constructive suggestion, it'd ideally work better with a shorter train - partly for authenticity, partly to see the loco, partly for composition... Admittedly short trains aren't particularly easy to come by on the valley (save the drivex, which is perhaps a little too short!), but maybe an early morning run on a gala day with 2-4 coaches, before it gets too busy? Just an idea!

Out Of This World - Marillion

Give me the remaining £80 (approx figure = their price, minus: price I paid for a second hand 8F, price I'm paying for a set of plates, a couple of hours' work) and I'll get you the finest box you could imagine!
-
http://www.ebay.co.u...#ht_3274wt_1118 £160 for some etched plates plonked on to a standard 8F? I'll stick with my home made job for half that! Ok, it might not be perfect, but it's the little things like the Turkish ones being right-hand drive and air braked... EDIT: Oh, and not having Midland region shed plates!

Good modelling skills or too much Christmas drinking!

fly, like the swifts waiting high on the wire (Fly, from the album Ostara by The Wishing Tree, worth a listen )

I would've added some brake dust personally, but the experts know best! "This is the best Kestrel model on eBay!", modesty is clearly overrated!

Number One - Marillion (bonus points for the first person to spot the link to The The!)

Take the Long Way Home - Supertramp.

I've seen too much of life, so the sea is my wife and a sweet Ocean Cloud is a mistress I'm allowed

In your purpose built machine noone dared to call a boat

We need to talk about the wedding cake and the wet suit.

I particularly like the quote "cant tell its hogwarts because of weathering,so can use as normal loco"!

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Classs-47-ScotRail-/150677546599?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item231514e667 This one, too, has some wheels missing!

As for some of the 'super' weathering above, I think it's time to start visiting car boot sales for models and getting the air brush out!
-
That said, I am now slightly tempted to get myself an autocoach (cheaper than that, mind!) and do it in blue/grey working with a 14! ... One day I'll stop these 'imaginative' mini-projects and actually build a layout...
-
I know autocoaches have been steadily increasing in value recently, but I didn't know it'd reached this level! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AIRFIX-No-54256-8-G-W-R-DIDCOT-AUTO-COACH-CODE-3-/260726230825?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item3cb47e8f29#ht_961wt_907 Did any autocoaches ever receive full yellow ends? ... He asked in a moment of naive optimism...
