On the Ninth day of Christmas my true love sent to me ...

Nine A Silcock Express numbered 47 231
Eight PCA's
Seven Network SouthEast Class 47's
Six A London Taxeee
Five ........................... mph speed limit 
Four A Class 37
Three A Class 47
Two A MAN Lorreeee

Beaten to it

And not if you use Yodel

Oh blast ... I've been rumbled! Was thinking I could string out the calendar to Xmas next year 

Yes Trainfish - Yodel, I heard about them. Were they not having problems with deliveries a few months ago? I read of unhappy customers. Latest move sounds ominous. Will they make it beyond Xmas?

Where can we get a loco shed like yours from?

Mark

Hi Mark

I'm sorry to say that it wasn't me who built this  :'( but ll have a word with the chap who did and I shall advise. I've seen similar ones so I'm thinking it's part of some kind of kit, but then I could be wrong.

Indeed, I'm hoping the said chap will allow me to name him in thanks at the end of the calendar, since he's really the unsung hero here.

Where's the steamers on your list DesertHound? How can you have Xmas without the smell of smoke and steam?

Oh it's kettles you want! Ok then, let me have a go at photographing some tomorrow. The pictures I'm posting now are from a photo shoot (oooh, sounds glamorous doesn't it) I did at the begininning of December and they are all diseasels. I'll charter some locos tomorrow and have them visit Stewart's Lane, especially for you Bob!

I can't wait. Make sure they're all pristine. I'm not so keen on all this weathered stuff. I really think we should keep all the dust and grime off our babies.

 
Mark;

There is one of eBay.... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DIESEL-DEPOT-SCRATCHBUILT-/111543703118?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item19f885d64e two days to go.

The make up of it looks very much like Ollie's "The Shear Valley Railway" Have a hope over to his thread, you might get an idea from where he got his, http://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?topic=24.0


Dan;

As a grand finale are we going to see everything all together on the layout on the last day?
