Steamport Southport Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Do they have those elsewhere? I've got one I use occasionally for Merseyrail. If I'm using a bus I may as well just use the Arriva day ticket. Just a poor version of the Oystercard if anyone is wondering. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just saw an engine that immediately made me think "Walrus" on RMWeb captioned "Class 29", Googled same and found the picture that looked most like one. Mea culpa. At least I can still say I've managed a post that incorporates two items of rolling stock and one aquatic mammal. 3 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A wonderfully British amphibious plane, you'd never think that it was designed by the same bloke who designed the Schneider Trophy planes, let alone the Spitfire.... Its bad enough being the front gunner, obstructing the pilots view, but the rear gunner is in the "draught" from the pusher propellor, and has unequalled opportunities to dismantle his own tailplane! And if I recall correctly, the service nickname for it was the "Shagbat". Edited May 28, 2021 by Hroth Spelin... As ushual. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steamport Southport Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 (edited) He was always a bit of a porker. Used to play rugby to a high standard ISTR. He's one of those that can lose or gain weight depending on the role. I expect that he's playing someone who's fat as I doubt he would wear those trousers normally.
