Beautiful,Stu! I feel a touch of rule coming on.

Cheers, yeah my layout is BR Blue era but there's room for a few steamers to run specials!

cheers, Stu.

[REGP]

Bought another steamer to run steam specials on the layout.
It runs very nice even round the 4x2 layout with tight curves, much better than the troublesome B1 loco I recently bought.

cheers, Stu.

Now Stu are you going to weather this one?

I ordered the Cambrian Express from my local shop but it looks like he can't get his hands on one, so I will probably have to go to Liverpool instead.

Being a steam special/preservation loco I'll have to keep this one clean I suppose  , although I plan to add a loco crew & detailing.

Cheers, Stu.

Don't you dare even consider putting any muck on the Duchess, Stu!

A couple of Ye Olde Farish (Poole) 'K'-type-ish Pullmans, Parlour 3rd Brake and Kitchen Diner First. Now I have 6 of these I have been off-loading my stop-gap Farish Mark 1 Pullmans...



A trio of these:




Bogie Bolsters in Gulf Red. Still need to put the outside bolsters and stanchions on and load them up. Two may be repainted in to Black for the Es PW department.

To Croxy in Canada - One of last nights Quiz questions was " which Country consumes more donuts per capita than any other", and the answer is Canada - apparently you consume 3 times more than even the USA.

What's the fascination with donuts in Canada?, I personally very seldom eat donuts, when I do prefering just the cream filled ones with no hole in the middle. Begs the question what's your favorite nibble/snack, when say watching TV, a Video, or a Football match?

I usually get sent to the bedroom when there is a Footie match on Tele I want to watch, as SWMBO likes to watch something else on the Lounge TV, but I can't go without taking with me a beer, and some crisps, or popcorn, or a pork pie to nibble on whilst watching the game. I then get told off for leaving crumbs all over the bedsheets. 

We seem to have a facination with a certain coffee shop called Tim Hortons.....they are all over the country and there are some in the states as well.....They have drive through window and are really busy. Originally the chain was started by a hockey player, Tim Horton.....who played for the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Buffalo Sabers.......traditionally they pretty much only sold coffee and donuts.....they are a big franchise now and do a much larger menu but the whole coffee and donut thing is quite popular.........

I'm not a huge donut fan myself though.......

I rather like the older coach design. Are you able to swap the pizza cutter wheels on the Pullmans, talisman56?

I have a few in a box somewhere just cant find the justification to run them on my LMS layout

I've got a rake of ten of these and I swapped all mine to the newer wheels

What was I thinking.....?!!!! 





It's a Stephenson Patentee class loco - here of course as "Der Adler" by Minitrix.  ...thought I could re-number it as "Harvey Combe" which was used building the L&B (London and Birmingham, not Lynton and Barnstaple) railway, and is shown in a well known picture working in a cutting in Berkhamsted, yards from where I live.

But I'm strictly Post Modern!- sectorisation is pre-historistoric for me (but also can't resist a bargain  )

Cheers  Jon

nice! perhaps spend most of its life as a platform exhibit with the occasional run for the fun of it!

Why not? She's a little beauty! This loco and coaches are more interesting than most locos and coaches.

I can imagine though that it would have trouble crossing points.

The mechanism is in one of the coaches so probably no worse than a diesel shunter or similar.

Shown here in motion!  Bear with me, that's the slowest I could get it to run!
