See what happens when you're not around to keep order CK?:

I think Brinkers and I will be going for a Cornetto later. SheepBloke not keen!

Good night out in Sandford* last night. The Potholer beer was great, the Hot Fuzz significantly less... For the Greater Good...

Still at work but watching the ETA on Google maps slowly get towards late evening as the traffic builds on the way down...

You'll be missed CK.

Not been to Railwells for probably 5 years - 2018? Sad to think that some of the regular RMweb stalwarts I met there are now no longer with us.

Shorts and suitably wild shirt packed.

Minor edit...

@NHY 581 are we helping?

Do you need one of these to go with the sheds?

A rough shunt wiped the smile off Toby's face...

Uniforms sorted

And the face, don't forget the face. And thinking about it... does a face on one end mean there should be something else on the other?

I'm taking that as a door slightly open, so worth bringing a couple.

Perhaps it's worth packing a few Bulleid Light Pacifics for the trip... Lots more pickups.

I'm also hoping for bacon and lamb chops next weekend. Slightly concerned by the promise of a uniform being provided for operators...

Any news on the Railwells show dearest sheep?

If people read this report, and I had to for work, then they will see that 84% of Gov projects were either red or amber. Only 10% were green. So not just HS2 having issues, more that HS2 is more newsworthy. Projects will and do move between ratings in their lifespan. The purpose of the rating is to highlight which project need special attention. Some of the things you can get a red for can be quickly addressed, so it's not the end of the world. I suspect part of the red for HS2 is down to recent interference and parts of the project being paused. Tends to screw up delivery ability and confidence...

Now that looks interesting, will have to have a flick through at a show. Hopefully it's a new photographer's collection and not a rehash of the usual images. Fingers crossed.

They have verandahs at different ends. Is there a prize for spotting this?

Being allergic to cat fir I must say I'm not a great fan on the smug, fluffy, clawy darlings. That said any cat deciding to rest on a layout of mine would soon be an ex-cat or, if I was in a more humane mood, find itself glued and sceniced....

More or less, but I'm not convinced that the wall next to the railway bridge is interacting/ deflecting the sea as intended. Small waves the other week but massive plumes of water crashing down on the walkway... Be interesting to hear what you think 9f the new concrete bridge that hides the old GWR girder one on the seaward side.

Lamb chops?

10kg of popping candy please Mr Banks.... I have a plan involving water and a GWR pannier...

Seems rather appropriate IMO 🤣
