Hroth Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Speaking of Norman yolks, or jokes, I'm sure that I misrecall a scene from Gerry Andersons early puppet creations, "Supercar", where Dr Beaker is examining an ancient tomb in a crypt and exclaims "It contains Norman Wisdom!".

Nearholmer Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I'd imagined the Warren Lodge as something that could be seen, across a heath, with a stand of pines beyond, from a passing train on a rural stretch of the WNR; part of the layout known as CA, rather than the village of CA. I do like those little Medieval bunnies. And, the yellow Atlantic tank. Its the loco that I cannot understand why Ace Trains, didn't make when they produced a huge array of 4-4-4T and 4-4-2T 20+ years ago, thereby kickstarting the Tinplate Revival Movement ...... if you look at my thread, you'll see how easily one could be represented (to tinplate levels of evocation) using a Hornby No.2 or an Ace tank.

Nearholmer Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) It used to be possible to travel by train from Gravesend to all Allhallows in Kent, which might imply that there was some post-mortem commuting in the past, if only once each year.
