Just the 2 locos and 2 snowploughs from the NGS show on Saturday. And for some reason a class 66 arrived from Freightliner yesterday!

Do you know something we don't about the weather, John?

I suspect that like winter fuel, snowploughs are cheaper to buy in summer.

It's July, anything can happen in this country. We're having a barbecue later too

Network Southeast Class 47, 'Haymarket'. I like the NSE livery so I couldn't resist it. I just need the NSE Mk2A SO (I have the BSO, which can be seen in this photo) and some Mk1 NSE coaches when they come out.

If you find some of the new tooling SO NSE coaches John, do let me know, rare as hens....

They look excellent to me - especially atop your marvellous cliffs.

Very good looking models Paul.

Looks good, do you know if that's one of the more recent ones with a 6-digit SKU and blackened, low profile wheels?

Finally I have finished the painting and weathering of my 3D Printed JUA rake, this is about the best my painting allows me to come up with, all run pretty well now there is a load of Ore in each hopper for weight. What the heck they are doing in the West Country is anyones guess !

The JUAs and the cliffs look superb. Just one point though--it looks as though you've loaded the wagons fully; all the shots I've seen of loaded JUAs show them only part-full, as presumably the iron-ore is so heavy. If anyone can elaborate on this, we can all learn.

nice wagons only me, and nice cliffs and ww2 bunker thing too

It is indeed - 371-627A, though date stamped on the cardboard sleeve is 2006 so "recent" is relative - but in excellent condition and runs very nicely. Via Hattons, for quite a good price.

Hot of the press "Cheltenham" runs beautifully, I feel a love affair coming on!

and many thanks to Osborns for the usual super service, the signal box looks interesting too!
