Will anyone be producing transfers?

Don't overdo it. Don't make them get the First Aid kit down.

A ghostly scene at Hazlehatch today...

It's here - @iarnrod saw straight through it, of course.

I'm liking the catering staff in full dress uniform.

Steady now! You don't want to end up back on that drip...

The green ones will be packed upside down in the boxes?

Gold Star for observation skills!

So, my hint at slowing down a bit has gone unheeded...

If you look on Street View, he has passed a good few signs, including one offering a diversion 'avoiding a low bridge' and then hit a remarkably obvious bridge... Driving a high vehicle - and one with a variable height - you might hope that he would pay some attention to restricted heights.

The Dapol ones are probably OK, if you have a DCC layout, so that you can drive the cleaner flat out, whilst propelling it slowly around the circuit via a loco that is being driven slowly. On a DC layout, in order to run the cleaner at a reasonable rate, you end up driving it too fast to have a good effect, without doing a good few circuits.

That would take some masking at 1/76th scale. Not worth the bother.

I've been hacked!

(Secretly, I wouldn't mind it all slowing down a bit)

I remain amazed that any of these things actually happen at all..... Go back twenty years and imagine telling people how it will be in 2018...

Sometimes, when things are a bit indistinct, it can help if you take your glasses off and relax your vision. Try it. I did and I can see SFA.

Far too many TLAs about these days - hard to keep track of them all.

Near Perth station in Scotland, possibly this very morning.

Best wishes for the recovery - of you and the vehicle...

And always remember not to mix the caps up - the colour-coding helps.

See what happens and keep your eye on the ball.

I did the 'daytime ferry' once, as a test, it seemed like a good idea - never again - the overnight one is much more civilised - dumps you into Dublin at 6am and you're going out before many are even trying to get in. Although, the trek to Bantry in one go may be a bit much then. Traffic to Holyhead on the Big Island is also much pleasanter for the 02:40 boat, as well. I had three separate exploded caravans on the way when I sampled the day boat. I use the 08:05 to return - an early start, but four hours kip on the boat before being dropped into Wales at midday. You do now have the option of the 'intermediate ferry' on most days, operating about half-way between the main boats. If you are going to do the Big One, then liaise and we might be able to organise something. I'm over there four or five times a year these days..

I think it might be this one.

You have to suspect that the car was stolen and/or driven by someone who had overestimated his capacity for pharmaceutical products, probably those of an amateur origin.

One for a layout with a Faller road system..?
