Good day at Bury, although sheltering from the rain next to a stall of goodies lightened my wallet a bit.

Today I saw a train, a REAL train in Cornwall with a loco and 38 hoppers! Yes! A REAL TRAIN!!

High Peak TT has been in full force this morning. No sirens at our end yet.

Things are looking up---Account has just emailed to say I can claim a refund on all my tax paid last year...better stay away from eHattons now...

Has 'police survalence van #2' showing up on wireless. Should I be worried?

Bought job lots of railway wagons over the years without looking at the stuff but I had a tidy today. YIKES..... an LMS 42ft GUV in its Lima box...untouched mint.....

Raining in Dublin. Back to Manchester today.

On the ferry to Ireland :-)

Back from 6 days with no internet. 29 pages of unread posts. Think I'll go back to sleep.

Anyone else remember those GEM working ground signals? Trying to get hold of a few. They're rare enough to make me wonder if I just imagined their existence!

Why in this country do we pay over a million people not to work then expect volunteers to run all sorts of things for free?

why do people come on holiday and then leave their manners at home?

I'm wondering if we should start training sheep-dogs to herd motor cars???

Just looked outside and it's snowing!

Grandson Sam, 23 months, keeps chattering on about Deltics

Drought? Drought?! You are having a laugh

New grandson 4 hours old - Sammy aged 22 months trying to teach it the difference between tank and tender locos

Humbrol Matt 33...not anymore it seems stir for ages, still dries sticky gloss. Rubbish ..grrrr

Didn't get the job , although my trip to brummyland wasn't entirely fruitless as I got to see 46235 at Thinktank.

Oh happy day in addition to pay cut to look forward to now tax man is having extra £10 per week out of my pocket too

Amazed by how many people will drive on one of the most dangerous roads in the country in poor visibility with no lights on!
