How far towards the east is the knitting going to reach surely passenger levels at Grimsby are not high, as to Hull there would seem to be a case ,any thoughts guys?

Sorry your hip bad know the feeling when I have done a long drive,are you in up for a replacement? chris.

Looking realy great like the shops ,glad all went well ,did you have any condensation problems in the tent?

Is there any news on what is causing the fires saw a pic of one of them and it looked a real mess?

Hope they have been painted as they look a bit rough in the pictures ,how did he get them into his garden and he must have good neighbours.

( Do points mean prizes? ) Chris

You all deserve a jolly after the modeling you have acheived ,that coach looks fantastic what was the ride like ?

Seems odd to see a naked Waverley without the roof ,good luck with the extension to Oban ,I have a dvd on the route to Oban from 225 Studios its both ways so you see the views in detail.The grade out of Oban is realy steep can you replicate this?Looking forward to seeing pics of your brilliant stock on the layout,oh by the way that room is fantastic.

You would not want toeat a Fray Bentos pie,bought one early this year ,not much meat and soggy pastry used to buy them some years ago when we were regular caravaners ,think a Pukka Pie is better value.Spam cams are good locos and deserve some exposure.

Class 22 looks good the bufferbeam detail very realistic ,are you enjoying the weekend?

Thats a great piece of modeling like the way you have kept us up to date with the construction,thanks.

Perhaps a pair of wings would help Old Gringo then he could move freely around the layout ,hope his cold is gone.

A health and safety inspection will take place this weekend of the offending piece of equipment,the inspectors name is a Mr I K Brunel you will recognise him by his hat and broad gauge,this is his home area so he might arrive early.

According to our local newspaper ,a new access road to the Gutman Centre has opened from the Churchill Ave roundabout on the High Wycombe Rd ,residents on the old road were getting fed up with the traffic and they knew you were coming to railex(also the olympic torch is coming through ,the new road will look better on tv) Have a good weekend .not to many pies I trust.

How many uniform differences were there between the groups ? Mobile homes saw a lot of those as train came into Par what a place for a holiday home not exactly pretty hemmed in by three rail lines and grotty factory units.You have nice new road to drive down when you come to Railex they opened it this week.

Perhaps you should all wear BR outfits of the era ie. those orrrible peak caps,striped waistcoats.ill fitting blue bomber jackets,flared blue trousers (that dont fit) all with the BR logo on of course.Old Gringo would right as he has the obligotory mousestache!Did the sectors have thier own uniforms if so what horrible outfits were there?Just a thought for you all to mull over.

How about modeling the snow shed and a bit of the line on the moor this would add even more to the realisim you have achieved ,good to see you posting again.

The flats lookabsolutely fantastic ,I could imagine a certain Mr Poirot living there ,the attention to detail is terrific you are recreating a wonderful time in history.

The building at St Blazey looks very run down and not used at all,the line to the cement works that passes under the main line looked very unused .Par could almost be a GWR station when no trains in situ.Is the junction that faces towards Penzance used at all as the tracks look very rusty?Liked the level crossing and box on the Newquay line also the canal very piteresque.

If the technocrats had thier way I bet there would be one box for the whole of the UK .

Pity they coul not put a control panel in a box in Cornwall to control Cornwall surely all this long distance signaling is not a good idea?

You are a layout producing machine ,were do you get the inspiration from?

Retiring three yeaars ago was the best thing I have ever done I now help on the R&CR ,activly support the RNLI sales and education ,and find time to go on regular weekends at Warner Holiday venues ,build my model railway and spend time on this wonderful website.Anyone who carries on working after retirement is doing himself harm and shortening his life an ex colleague of mine ie working six days a week because he has no hobbies and cant stand being at home,sad. It will soon be your time to enjoy yourself ,bus pass in hand ,senior railcard at the ready to go out into the wonderful world of retirement(I SHOULD SAY FUN FUN FUN)

Went past St Blazey yesterday looking very forlorn and un loved was dissapointed not see any 37,s lurking but did see a prairy tank at Bodmin Rd on the way home today, chap at Penzance told me that Swindon box will be controling all signals in the west so by to all the lower quadrant sempaphores by 2014 .He also said that the Chinese have put a good bid in for the franchise not good.

Les are you going to model the elephants leaving the station ,that would be eye catching.
