Just legs? haruumpf that's no fun ..................

but someone is going to be offended Mark my words,,
oh hang on, someone already was.   

Now this is what Christmas is all about...

... Santa Specials on preserved railways! Not that BabySquid understood who the dude in the red costume was, but he enjoyed the whole experience.

In the spirit of Bah Humbug, this being my first visit to the UK around Xmasyuletidetime for a number of years, it did strike me how much the country seems to go into Obssessive Christmas Overdrive around this time of the year, or maybe it was just the jetlag making me grumpy.

Looks like the Festiniog?

It may or may not look like the Ffestiniog, but it's definitely standard gauge. Though there seems to be some sort of narrow gauge attached.

Apart from not being able to spell (inexcusable when I've been on it)  I'm curious as to where that is

The GWR. Not that GWR of course, though they originally built the line.

Nope, don't think you're being more than usually grumpy ... this Overdrive seems to hit on the 1st December, I'm always amazed the food shops have anything left by the 10th, let alone the 23rd 

There has been some good discussions on this thread with over 100 posts. However it is beginning to go off-topic so I have locked the thread.
