Someone's paying you to wear that, aren't they.

I used to like tractors but I don't any more - that means I am an ex-tractor fan

Arrived about an hour ago.

I am still waiting for Rails to tell me they have got them in stock. Just checked and my pre-order is showing, so I suppose I will just have to be patient.

I ordered on on Friday, and it is being delivered Monday - according to the text from Royal Mail. I was slow off the mark on these and would have liked an unweathered one as well.

Hope I've done this right as drag-and-drop only accepts pdf files.
mine arrived yesterday as per the emails from Ros and Royal Mail.
Will go into my rake of 'specials' along with the NGF wagon and my own imaginary PO wagons.

Newportnobby · June 11, 2024, 10:02:43 AM

You have done it right (see reply #5749). Your pic is better than mine

If you have an interest in P.O. wagons you might find this of interest............

I too run "nonsense" trains, as have a fondness of commemorative trains and souvenir wagons.

Thumbs up here!

Here's the coal wagons I did in memory of my Dad who was a Bevin Boy during WW2 and had the middle name of 'Cresswell' bestowed on him as many of his family were miners in the area. Unfortunately, he never got to see them finished.

As you can see, the layout is far from finished scenically!
Cheers

A nice tribute to your father

This post got me thinking, (didn't hurt!). Rather than hijack this thread, I have started a new one on the subject of memories built into our layouts.

A few more tractors added to the rake. I think 33 should do. For now.

port perran · June 12, 2024, 09:02:36 PM

What is the collective name for a group of tractors?

Seriously though John, that looks pretty darned good.
