In between baseboard construction efforts I've even managed to translate a parts list for the Corpet tank. I've learned a lot of obscure French nouns and also made some uneducated guesses.. 

 

I've also inspected my OO rolling stock, Flying Scotsman p, us some teaks and a green panneer plus a 15000 nez cassé in Silver and Maroon.

Today's mooch about in Ostrow Wielkopolkie was a damp affair. 

 

Hat is still drying, but I happened upon an open day at the depot. 

 

It is national children's day today, so that was a good excuse. 

 

There were a couple of layouts there amongst the locos in the roundhouse and there were two locos giving rides up and down the yard.

 

A Dragon ET43 ( very new)and an ET22. ( built 1987)

The latter was in the charge of a 5 year old girl one way and a 7 year old lad the other. ( A qualified driver was supervising)

 

Both were very good at it. 

 

I'm now slowly heading back to Poznan. The rest of my itinerary has been caped due to extended time in Ostrow

Horses for courses. You have a wild and dangerous indigenous furry animal, we have an outdated piece of flying apparatus.

 

That's no way to talk about DH.

Looks kinda "European". Only sayin.

 

It is in Europe and claims to be bigger than that Brazilian effort.

Lorna is a member of the local art association. Their annual art exhibition was this weekend. So far she has flogged sold four of her creations and has been invited to exhibit in two local galleries. I'm hoping to get a percentage for doing the frames 😆

Dangerous?

 

Only if you catch an STI from one. Riddled with them apparently....

Some preposterous idea that it's about GM food. Originally it was about Garston Docks where Welsh lambs went out and bananas came in.

 

This is the daddy one, loads of smaller ones about as well. Here in Ukrainian colours because of Eurovision.

Useful if you are in a zoo and they ask you if you want to hold one!

 

Here's some bloke holding one. Wouldn't be smiling if he knew.....
