Very nice!

I just did a search on locust swarms and Wiki had this about Albert's swarm in 1875 -

"the greatest concentration of animals ever speculatively guessed, according to Guinness World Records"

Guessed? in the Guiness world record? I can "guess" a much larger number... haha

Have you guys heard of the 17-Year Locusts that come out in the USA? (They are actually Cicadas)

This was a seminal event in my childhood.

I was eight in the Spring of '82 when an eldritch horror visited my neck o' the woods... Army of Darkness...

Quote from: eddief83 on July 13, 2026, 02:38:56 PMI have the full SLOA pullman set and want an intercity charter set similar to Mallard pulled in 1988 for the anniversary run.

What is your SLOA rake made up from? From the period photos I've seen the formation changed a little. My interpretation is made up of Mk1 Pullmans plus a RMB and some regular blue/grey or Intercity FO.

I've got the Pilkington set on my to-do list. All over green with light blue and red markings at the ends - possibly the worst livery every painted on a train.

I have 2 Farish Mk1 BCK's Car 355 and 356 from the collectors club (plus a spare 355 I was renumbering if anyone needs a brake) all the correct numbered pullman parlours 347, 348, 349, 350, 351, 352 and 353 plus kitchen 335 and the Hadrian Bar. Its currently a mixture of White and Grey roofed stock but one day I will repaint them all grey. One day I will add some standard mark 1's to the box to vary it up a bit.

I do want an intercity set as per Mallard on 3rd July 88.

Pilkington stock would be great for modelling charters. I wonder if we can persuade Bachmann to do them as a club exclusive
