I think I’m right in saying that Tintagal Castle is the closest to both of them in the GWR releases. Not sure if there has also been a BR release in that number range. 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, a good thing I bought another Tintagel a few weeks ago... but now it's a hard choice, GWR War Black or Green?? 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Limpley Stoker Posted April 10, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 10, 2020 Ah, the footbridge!.. I remember the mysteries of the stenchpipe. I’m still not sure which drains it is supposed to be ventilating - but nobody on the platform seems to be complaining. Mind you, we haven’t seen the Finching Sisters for a very long time indeed. Perhaps we should get somebody to ask Dr Creasy if they are alright. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bgman Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 (edited) Why not go all Pendon-esk ? Get the 47xx out with ALL of your wagons and re-create something similar ? I will forgive you if there aren't 100+ p.s. maybe video it and lets see if we can count them all correctly Edited April 10, 2020 by bgman 2 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted April 10, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 10, 2020 (edited) Report (Thursday) I ventured to the local Tesco at Lee Mill again yesterday. The person managing the front of the outside queue last week told me that '4pm was a quieter time', so I went there for 4pm yesterday. It was busier than the Friday morning last week! However, within 5 minutes of starting to queue, I was at the head of the queue and very quickly was permitted to enter the store. Went round quite quickly and wore the new Mk 2 Kernow Mask that CTMK had scratchbuilt for me the previous day. Definitely an improvement on the Mk1, although you lot are NOT getting a photo. Having seen the animated simulation yesterday, showing how droplets from a single cough can spread from supermarket aisle to aisle, I decided not to take any chances. All items on list obtained and managed generally to keep apart from other shoppers (perhaps they were avoiding the wierdo in the mask?). All in all, a satisfactory shopping expedition for the current times. End of report. Edited April 10, 2020 by Captain Kernow 3 2 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted April 10, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 10, 2020 Report today) CTMK and I went for another short local walk and I took the following footage from the bridge that carries the Avonwick lane over the A38 'Devon Expressway', which was even quieter than the previous time: We then returned to Kernow Towers and I re-started the 74XX running in process. I will now be making the tea. End of report. 6 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
