Title: Sausage service
Post by: Buffin on March 31, 2017, 09:29:49 AM
Apparently this is a sausage train going backwards and forwards in the window of a butcher's shop in Sheringham, posted in twitter by "Trundle".

To spare Nobby, jokes already posted on twitter include:

That's a model class 153. Definitely a bit of an old banger, and some would argue they are the wurst trains on the network.

Chew chew

(My favourite) Needs a gravy train as well....

It'll remain the wurst train service in Sheringham until it has links to other services.

I can't believe that no-one's mentioned it's on a steak wagon.

Clever ploy actually :)

Kids keep pestering mum and dad to "see the train", and the more they keep going past, the more likelihood of going in and buying something ;)

Clever ploy indeed, but it can have its down side...

"Thomas! Your Brio trains DO NOT need decorating with food like that!"

"But Mummy, the man in the shop has a sausage on his and Daddy said that's really clever."

"Yes but....."

"But what Mummy?"

- and so parental control continues its downward slide towards puberty.

If that derails it'll be a pig to clear up.

I just hope it's not N gauge, 'cos if it is, that is one small snag! Oh, sorry - Aussie slang for sausage.

You've got more chance of seeing the model railway working there, than finding the model railway shop down the same road open.
