Where's Coachmann gone? Not seem him in a while...?

I got snowed on in Rutland last night. Winter is coming.

37s on the RHTT this afternoon almost blew my tripod over !

52 years have passed but I'll never forget my mum crying her eyes out.

After the last service train tonight, Reedham (Norfolk) will no longer be a junction - until Colchester takes over in March

Seriously tempted to sell off all my 4mm stock and go O gauge.

Didn't know what time it was and the lights were low I leaned back on my radio Some cat was layin' down some get it on rock 'n' roll, he said Then the loud sound did seem to fade

Got a Summer 1948 Bradshaws timetable from my son for my birthday. Well chuffed.

From Colas to GB, Those 60s do look good! https://www.flickr.com/photos/sparrowhawk7/30028625817/in/dateposted-public/

Shhhh Man United!!!!!

A Deltic through Hitchin at 100 mph. Magnificent.

Another waste of time battling Flickr to upload photos.

Went train chasing @ Searchlight lane and caught 90040 and 90039 trampling up North

Looking for 14xx driving wheels!

Back on the big railway testing points.

It's just like being at work.. Everything is new. I could get used to this. https://www.flickr.com/photos/32297024@N08/43768703264/

Became a grandfather last Wednesday. Mum and baby - a boy - doing well

A dream in a box.. https://www.flickr.com/photos/32297024@N08/29514746127/ I have spent a lot of time over the years working towards restoring key token working to my railway. Tomorrow is D day. Circuit change starts at 06:30 and Principles Tester booked on from 09:30. If all goes to plan it will be key token working for the first time since 1969.

I'm rather chuffed with my latest toy. A key token circuit over three miles long with an intermediate instrument (soon to be two) with switchable remote operator capable of working at each location.

Rather than letting a stone train out 5 minutes early, let's set the route for passenger when it's still 10 miles away #really

Hmm. In what Manor are Hornby sponsoring this? https://www.facebook.com/events/the-big-train-move/1478381655595154/

No.71, 5346 yards - wonder where I've been in the photos I'm currently scanning

..is quite happy with the commute home tonight from Manchester Piccadilly to Stalybridge, (usually 14 minutes long), but due to a "brokendown" train outside Piccadilly we were diverted via Oxford Rd, Manchester Victoria and Ashton-U-Lyne.
