Winter blues.

I know a man who knows a man... Roll on April! These will sell on eBay for twice the price the moment people start seeing them in the flesh. Looking your way, Evan and Billy!

I think the rebuilt Jubilee's are closer.

Vaseline. Had some left over from the weekend you were here.

You don't say???

Still missing two that are on my hit list.

Everybody already knows that I'm the villain!

And, sure while we're in Fantasy Land, or Rule 1 Land, or whatever it's called...

Speaking of cats... I literally didn't turn my back for a second while setting up for the photos, and still... Nothing was harmed during the photo shoot, feline nor railway related.

Speaking from a non-engineering and non-railway-insider angle, is there any way of futuro proofing to an extent, without increasing costs too much? For example, leaving space between the platforms for four tracks instead of two? The two tracks would obviously need to run far enough apart to service both platforms and leave space in the centre for future tracks. This probably applies more to new builds. Surely, in this case, the only additional cost is more landscaping and a longer bridge? Or building one of the two platforms as an Island platform, with hoarding to hide that fact? Therefore allowing two more tracks be laid the other side of the Island platform in the future? This probably applies more to adding stations to current trackwork. Again, speaking from an outsider perspective.

I'll note that in my journal.

Team DAF!

Lovely Christmas present for the kids, an O Gauge starter set! https://www.hattons.co.uk/525410/hornby_r1268_harry_potter_hogwarts_express_large_scale_train_set_battery_operated_with_remot/stockdetail

Specially terror types.

Looks like the sound-fitted model also sold! Great price in fairness, for a lovely looking loco.

Do you know a (bogie) man?

Sure where would you stick the decoder?

Back on September 4th, @Warbonnet said in another thread: So I'd guess they've either landed and cleared customs, or are close to doing so. If only we knew somebody like @Georgeconna who could snoop around behind the scenes!

This one's definitely worth quoting into this thread - obviously not mine! Road Kings 180093 1:18 scale 1982 DAF 3600 SpaceCab, stolen from @JasonB's thread here.

These HUO's are on offer again. Absolutely savage price. Ordered a few on Friday, and I'm on the fence about ordering another one or two today. The Black Friday (thank you, Hatton's, O Gauge loco at OO Gauge pricing) Railfreight Class 56 will need to haul something, and these will fit the bill.
