One of my favourite ELP tracks as well, a bit of a King Crimson thing going on there!

PS Martin @port perran , I didn't think for a millisecond that you would like Whitesnake!

sad to say old age has introduced me to arthritis--therefore its very painful to type and almost impossible to make model locos--so i wont be posting much in the way of "gotta post something even if it's irrelevant/wrong/adds nothing useful", which will no doubt please some on here.

Dunno why I ever thought the Nice were so great. Or ELP, for that matter. Short of things to listen to back then, I guess 

Another delve back into ancient times.

I was never hugely into Emerson, Lake and Palmer but did really like Just Take a Pebble from their self titled debut album.

Here is a video from 1970.

Don't they look young!

PS Another clip tomorrow, or maybe even later today, from a not too well known 70s prog rock outfit that I saw live once, as a support act, but had completely forgotten about until I came across them again last night.
Any guesses?

The Model Centre had a pre-owned 50% off sale and had two Revolution Class 59 EWS Sound Fitted and instead of just jumping on one, I tried to get cute and ask questions use the "make an offer" tab.

Grr!!! While I was goofing off... gone.   

Yeah, have done that myself.

Angry at myself!!

Well, for me work has been a bit busy and has had me "on the road" this last week or so - as such I have had to cut back on both meaningful and trivia posts (not even much of me having a go at George @Bealman  about Sunderland ) . Anyway I am saving up quite a bit on both SPAM and wagon building projects which I will get to during the upcoming Golden Week holiday here....

Quote from: weave on April 25, 2026, 11:24:59 AMMight not be the case here but I take all my pics on a phone. Take them in 'landscape' no problem, take them in 'portrait' either upside down or on side. Therefore take them in 'landscape', simples!

How one moves the phone between portrait and landscape matters. If the phone is lying flat when the camera app is opened, it will default to portrait. It is then possible to pick the phone up and rotate it toward landscape without the device registering the change, particularly when the subject lies below the photographer. If one first holds the phone vertically true before rotating, the sensors gain a clear sense of which way is 'up', and the orientation switches reliably.

Love it! Apple green and teak, my favourite colour scheme.

A new arrival at Elmsbridge Central. The fineness of the livery on no. 4791 is astounding!
