Her indoors just used one of my windproof matches to light a scented candle, there followed a loud few seconds of panic as she tried to blow the match out....

My descent into the mysterious world of N gauge continues. Just joined the NGS and I've only now discovered the existence of Union Mills. Temptation abounds...

Listening to "Triumph of an A4 pacific" on the surround sound; never fails to cause goosebumps!
-
Smoke in my eyes, soot in my hair, cinders in my shoes. I'm watching the needle falling away and singing the eight freight blues.
-
Off to Thurso today, first time on the North Road since (I think) 1988. No doubt one or two changes...

RIP Martin Crowe. Now off to listen to "his" 12th man interview...

Ah well, hopes of some real Scottish prototypes dashed again. Always next year I suppose, although I've lost count of how many years I've been saying that.

Should really have an early night in readiness for the long journey south to Model Rail Scotland courtesy of Scotrail, however a drop of Jura beckons.

Kevin Bloody Wilson - genius.

On another VTEC HST, this time there are three coaches with no working power sockets.

After watching the latest Deutschland '83, I can't help but listen to Two Tribes with max volume. Still as great as it ever was!
-
I keep noting occasional references to "Steam punk", something I'd never heard of before. Anyway, I've finally done an internet search on the term and now I'm even more bemused.

More garbage from head office: we've just had a rebuke for not referring to staff as either "colleagues" or in the numbers sense as "headcount". I often wonder if this kind of thing is something our underemployed and overstaffed desk jockeys dream up to bolster their Linkedin achievements/lies section.

Tim, it would seem not. Despite being on a supposed efficiency drive some staff are obviously underemployed enough to spend time coming up with nonsense like this! Maybe they think it makes them more efficient?! I suspect it spreads like a virus; one delusional individual in management comes up with it to appear fresh and original, then it spreads from company to company.

Sad, very sad. I once worked for a global plastics/ chemicals company that renamed/ combined/ rebranded about once a year it seemed. Every time, stationary and uniforms were wastefully ditched, and new, less workable computer systems foisted upon us, with attendant wasteful retraining. Meanwhile market share seemed to be lost to other, more stable concerns. I took the redundancy package and ran asap.

Well the lower 3/4 of the TV screen is now a permanent cyan type colour, time for a new one I think.

In Tesco this evening and noticed that Easter Eggs are already on the shelves.

First trip on a VTEC Mk3 with the new cheapo PVC seats with yet more Vermin branding to message the masses. At seat power still doesn't work, quelle surprise. Hopefully once they get past sticking their logo everywhere they'll pay some attention to the mechanics and electricals.

Onboard yet another VTEC HST where the carriage power points aren't working, still I see more Virgin branding/uniforms are now appearing, so that's alright then.
