I will look to buy two, maybe three of them. I am hoping the Hawksworth tender version is released at the same time as the Collett tender.

I'd think about renaming/numbering two modified Halls,to locos I stood on the footplate of back in 1965. Sadly these plates are not currently available. I imagine the range of plates could be extended with the release of these new Halls?

I'm very interested but the ones listed for pre-order at the moment do not suit my era.

I hope you all remembered and no one is still operating on the wrong time.
Anyone got a dashcam fitted to their car (nudge, nudge, wink, wink )?

I do have some pics of my childhood layout somewhere, but given my current location I'm not able to look for them. Here, however are a couple of items from that layout from my albums, photo-bombing the B&CE.

Operating helicopter car (note that this model even pre-dates the Battlespace one):



Triang yard crane comes to the rescue of a broken Poole Farish Flying Scotsman:

I thought emjaybee's posts were great too, and that was an impressive OO Gauge railway.

He, and I am sure many others, will remember that the Tri-ang 0-4-0 of his first train set had a top speed of about a scale 200 mph. We had one, plus a diesel on the same chassis, and used to race them.

Oh, they've let me out - unfortunately so I could go to another hospital!

As to when they let me home, you've got as much idea as I have -

Dunno!

You've been in there an awful long time, George. When are they going to let you out?

As we slide into autumn here, the Old Pacific Sea (as Barry Mackenzie called it) looks magnificent from Bealman's hospital window this morning. Yes, I'm out of bed in-between visits from the dripalator:

That's so true (said Bealman, propped up in his hospital bed)

Hope it all gets sorted.

What a wonderful layout   And I've only watched 25% of it so far.
