A1A would make sense for a diesel loco if you treat the frames as a bogie! Wish I'd thought of that... 🙃

According to the Wikipedia article, the 08 has two traction motors, but it does not specify which axles they drive. Assuming they drive the outer axles, I wouldn't like to try to describe the Whyte notation for the uncoupled wheels....

It looks more like a Clarkson/Top Gear effort, as May would exclaim "Oh C**k!"...

Hard times for fast food? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cz474lgw11xo Should cheer @iL Dottore up no end! 😃

One wonders what The Faithful would have done if a substantial portion of ear had actually been removed! He's now removed the teabag, and made a song and dance about it as if a miracle had occurred.

I think one of the crowd around him was fatallty inconvenienced. I'm also convinced that a security bloke grabbed the Orange one by the ear as the doddery old buffer stood about wondering what the heck was going on, causing a minor abrasion, somewhat similar to a papercut ... "Here Mr Trump, stick this teabag on your ear to absorb the bleeding"

@TheQ I do like tiny stations! (the bloke in front of the sign looks exactly like an Airfix/Dapol passenger figure, you can almost see the slab they stand on...)

The aftermath of an inter-regional conference? 🤔 -
You may recall the fad for box-like teak effect stereo radiograms in the 70s? I always thought a coffin would make an interesting alternative case for one of those...

I've only one too, it was a bargain AND it is wearing the livery that the real thing wore on my birthday. It doesn't appear to be lonely... There's a lot of those about!

Put it on castors, it'll make an interesting coffee table in the lounge....

Eh ba gum? 🤔 Discounting the daft description, its probably not a bad price for a Triang "Nellie", the body itself is in good nick, there aren't any apparent cracks around the body screw, the footsteps are all present, as are the buffers! And most M.C.s (Mendacious Chisellers) would charge even more for the X04 alone, contained within its simplistic body shell. What's not to like!

Standard Cowans Sheldon 15T Crane (mk1 and mk2 Jib) announced!

Shouldn't that be his jib?🤔 -

According to Biggles*, "Flaming Onions" were very popular with the Germans on the Western Front in WW1... And were a real thing! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flaming_onion * Or perhaps his author "Capt" WE Johns...

They'll probably go on a plane to a resort on the Black Sea for a recuperative holiday at the expense of the State as a reward for their activities. The plane will be shot down with no survivors and Russia will blame someone or other.....

Home Again!!! I shall now have to have a holiday to recover from my holiday...

In terms of distance the guess isn't that far out! Good for a random guess by a M.C. from The Vale of Glamorgan....

We'll still get cars that give speed warnings because no manufacturer in their right mind would do a software version specifically for the UK. We'll just get the standard euro-compliant package.

Forgot it was Yorkshire Day. As I'm in York, I'll wear my red rose lapel badge with pride today...
