[Train Waiting]

Millom achieved its justified fame with a Minitrix wagon and very nice it is too.

Is she the last surviving British-built battleship?

Japanese_battleship_Mikasa]Mikasa[/url], which apart from playing a key role in the 1905 Battle of Tsushima is apparently the only surviving example of such a ship.

She's a double last - the last pre-Dreadnought battleship and the last British built battleship.

Eh? I thought that was the much later HMS Vanguard.

Sorry, I meant the last surviving in both categories.

Going by Wikipedia the only surviving non-American battleship, even.

I am not quite sure what we have done to the Squidlet, but he has become an industrial-grade Drawer of Things and Producer of Books (you should see what he can do with a stapler and a pack of A4 paper), here a recent train drawing:



In the off-chance anyone does not recognize the prototype, it's a JR East E235 series, albeit here in a fictitious Squidlet-designed livery.

Here is a model of an actual one:

That is really excellent - he's got the perspective on the train perfectly.

I just hope the driver wasn't hurt when the cannonball went through the windscreen...

Cheers,

I thought it was a large spider, but I am assured it is the reflection of the sun.

I actually worked that out, which shows what a great drawing it is!
