I've got three, in terms of capacity. A single basket one, and a dual basket one, bought as an upgrade. The older one is kept in reserve....

Models contemporary with their prototypes. REAL Modern Image stuff!

At first glance... Paint Super 4 black (hide the rust?) and it looks pretty similar! But would you WANT that manky bit of track? 🤪

A GBL product at its finest. Its a ripoff of an old Lima, hence the shortness, the paintjob is as sold. The lack of effort is compounded by the inclusion of the fake track it was supplied with. Oh no.... Its Groundhog Day!!!

Postperson just ambled past, chunnering to themselves.... On reflection, they must have a bluetooth headset. Simples!

A shocking lack of predictability!

It was a lovely evening yesterday. 12 hours later? RAIN!!! buggerndamnnblast.....

A bit sad, really...

I expect Dave is glad that he's never looked so fly.... Also, the musculature is entirely in the wrong place, there should be a very pronounced keel-like breast bone, anchoring some rather hefty flight muscles. Artists? Pah!

It just clicked that we're on page 1944, which coincides with the D-Day 80 commemorations. Spooky.

Its the reliveried R570 Freightmaster set!

I'd be careful with that picture, it looks inappropriately similar to the tupping season in the sheepish regions....

Radio 3, like the GWR, never changed its name or way of doing things after the Grouping, though recently they took custodianship of "Friday Night is Music Night" from Radio 2, due to the influx of superannuated Radio 1 hipsters moving from Radio 1 to Radio 2.

Its night so I'll post these here. I went to Birkenhead Woodside this evening to watch the fireworks and the cruise liner leaving the landing stage. Cruise ship "Queen Anne"* with fireworks beyond the bow. I was upset that they weren't launching white rockets off the ship**... Some fireworks They're rubbish pics, I should have taken a proper camera with me! * In John Wyndhams "The Kraken Wakes" an ocean liner called the "Queen Anne" is sunk with all hands by a Kraken. ** The Titanic, a White Star liner launched white rockets as distress signals, which were allegedly ignored by the SS Californian. The White Star and Cunard lines merged. Queen Anne is a Cunard cruise ship....

I bet the locals gave it their seal of approval too...

Its got a BUS on the cover??? 🤔 🤪🤪🤪

Purveyor only had a couple of copies of 303 this afternoon. :-( I'll try again next week!

Would have been the Light Programme...

Home again, home again, jiggety jig.... The main thing that twinged a bit was my debit card!

How long were they in storage? Even stored in a dry shed the rubber can age. Perhaps that is something that should be flagged up to potential purchasers? Oh well, time for an early lunch, followed by tooth scrubbing (again!) and off to the dentists... Bye.....

Very pretty. A good thing I'm not a biker....

Isn't that the CONTENTS?🤔 Its only cats that value empty cardboard boxes...

Depending on era, size of engine 😄, weight of train, it might benefit red to move first, for a short while....

The culture and nurturing of bushes*. T Pratchett. * Actually the Dean, UU in Reaper Man, though I haven't looked it up...
