  1. Afternoon all from Estuary-Land. Not a bad result at the toy-fair, came away with a couple of items from the 'World of Stobart' series at £7 each and a Master Models bus stop for £8, usually I would expect to pay a bit more. The rain has stopped and the sun was shining a short while ago but its still blowing a bit. Kettle has now boiled so its be back later.
  2. Morning all from Estuary-Land. Persisting down this morning, I feel sorry for my mate and his young lad, they're bookied to go to a flying show at Duxford today. The forecast is that the rain will clear by lunchtime there but the wind will be gusting up to 40mph, I don't think they will see much flying. I'm off out now to the toy fair at Rayleigh, be back later.
  3. Another bit of my youth gone.
  4. Evening all from Estuary-Land. Just cleaned up my e-mail inbox, but still got a lot more to trash. Also got an e-mail this morning (in my spam folder) informing me that I had won $850,000 dollars on a lottery but I decided to let some other lucky person have it and just to make sure I blocked the sender.
  5. Fill the centre of the roundabout with plenty of redundant telegraph poles. It wasn't a dashcam, it was a motorcycle helmet cam.
  6. Back in the 70's there was a novelty shop in Romford High Street (Opposite the Salvation Army.) that had a quantity of Egger-Bahn 009 stock in the window at a very cheap price, needless to say it didn't remain in the window for long.
  7. Morning all from Estuary-Land. Sun was shining earlier but now its come over a bit dull. It was predicted by the seaweed wranglers together with a bit of wetness this afternoon. Did anyone else spot the young ladies sunbathing topless on the beach?
  8. OK pink for the girls, blue for the boys but whats the green one for?
  9. Evening all from Estuary-Land. The wind has dropped a bit and the cloud has disappeared, evidenced by the bright three-quarter moon. As many of you are aware you can take any vehicle on to the Nurburgring, here are a few of the more unusual ones.
  10. Morning all from Estuary-Land. I was woken up at 2:30 this morning by the rain rattling on the windows and the wind howling like a banshee. I managed to get back to sleep quite quickly though. Still a bit breezy this morning but at least the suns out. Now its time for muggatee, have a good POETS day, be back later.
  11. For illustrations of loaded military wagons including Warwells the 'Working Wagons' series by David Larkin is a good photographic reference.
  12. My friend is taking his young son to Duxford this Sunday for a WW2 flying show. Regretably the forecast is for strong gusty winds and heavy rain.
  13. Morning all from Estuary-Land. A tad blustery this morning but the rain is not expected before the early hours of tomorrow evening. The usual bin wagons dawn chorus this morning was barely noticable, perhaps I turned over and went back to sleep. Muggatee awaits so its be back later.
  14. An interesting train variation, London Transports Acton works was charged with preparing Sherman tanks for D-Day. The tanks were delivered and collected on Warwells hauled by ex-Metropolitan Bo-Bo electric locomotives.
  15. Afternoon all from Estuary-Land. Wind is a lot stronger than this morning but the sun is shining. Now to put the kettle on for another muggatee.
