Oh no. Don't tell me Grayson's here as well. How did he escape from ANTB?

Not Mr Stay Puft, then? https://youtu.be/d-sALU_hveA

Possibly taken from the roof of the swimming baths?

I'm glad you didn't post that before I went to the dentist this morning.

The frames are available rtr.

Another tip is always to remember the 'Sir' when you Google 'Felix Pole'.

I don't know the answer, but I know the reason (I'm from Gloucestershire); it's so they can be recognized by their own side, because 'The Glosters don't retreat'.

I'll have one of each please, Rob.

Not the Molesworths of st custards?

With a salt-caked smokestack.

No, but there is on Uranus.

I left about twenty-five years ago, but I worked with Ralph Bowden (the priest in the photo) when he was at Trevethin. All very different to-day; you used to be able to walk along Pontymoile Viaduct from Pontypool to Griffithstown.

Very tempted now; the earlier version, I think, had the partition walls raised above the level of the roof, which looked very 'London'.

A friend of mine kept asking for a pissoir instead of a pichet of water.

Neal, Have you thought of this motorising kit? It relies on visual alignment of the tracks with each use, which might be poblematic if the turntable is at the back of the layout. However it has proved better in use than the previous version, which used plastic gears which kept dropping out of alignment. http://locomotech.com/index.html

Are the trees on railway property?

The name and number don't match. (Edited for clarity)

1942, according to the book on oil traffic by rail which the HMRS were selling off at Warley.

At least one won't (be on Ebay).

2926 Saint Nicholas.

Don't tell me I'm still on that fecking island.
