Mmm, I was wondering about the Club Orange...

Might a few have made it to Castlecomer or Arigna?

I assume it's been scanned already and I'm expecting the container to arrive for Christmas 2023?

The second of four programmes is currently on Radio 3 now - https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0010253 - still without any mention of Sleaford, so far.

Lovely! I'm a great fan of 'image modelling' - no doubt the Germans have a word for it - getting the whole 'feel' of a time and place, without needing the absolute finest detail - as in the way that a watercolour can be more truthful than a photograph.

Truly remarkable! All that was missing for full authenticity was to turn it upside down.

I'm not short of blades, Blud. It strikes me that, it not being die-cut from the front, I might be able to avoid the 'exposed corner' issue that modern Metcalfe kits have?

I picked this up at a boot sale a few years ago and I might finally have a go at it over the winter. I'm not sure how old it is, but it does have a sticker on for a fiver, however, that could have been applied at any point this side of 1971. It is simply printed card, no die-cutting - hence the handy scalpel, with a Swann Morton No 10 blade - they omitted to include any plasters. There are eight and a half sheets, with the buildings printed on all walls, so they can be arranged in multiple forms, subject to small amounts of roof surgery, as applicable. The outside edges won't be that hard, but all those window apertures is not something to look forward to. The windows are also printed-on-card, rather than actually transparent sheets, but pictures of the assembled items look generally OK.

I was going past on the bike today, so was able to get a decent picture. It still doesn't seem to have been hit yet, but it is 16' / 4.8m. It is just a few miles north of the site of the Hixon crash back in the late 60s.

As much as we're all gasping with impatience, they aren't ventilators and there should be no, or at least few, fatalities as a result. How much would 8,000 kilometres of flexitrack cost? They could be run in on the way here, without being subject to the 'global transport system'.

The liveries of donkey carts. Let us be grateful that few rivets are on view...

That is definitely the way to go, if it is feasible, it's hardly worth setting yourself properly up for just a few pictures.

You can get little scanner things for a few bob and do them yourself. Or you may know somebody local who has the facility...

I am already on record predicting that the Criminal Assets Bureau will be targeting stashes of black and green boxes. I understand that they have specially trained dogs to detect such high-value contraband items.

Presumably, this was the junction. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Ballygown+South,+Silvermines,+Co.+Tipperary,+Ireland/@52.7998272,-8.285717,287m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x485c97a50135353b:0xa00c7a997318b20!8m2!3d52.794361!4d-8.2366272

If only there was some organisation somewhere with the facilities to produce suitable vehicles...

I think he may have the boot down and in use as an extended 'shelf' with those white bags on?

The larger rear window makes it an A35. I think the car in front is a Popular, without the rear doors and the subsequent 'third window'. Possibly.

Obviously, nobody fast-forwards through the one I'm in...

I delivered some stuff there a while ago and he gave me a good look round the place. It would be ungentlemanly to guess at his age then, but he'll be ten years older now...

IE appear to have an electric van now - I've seen a photo on Facebook, but didn't want to steal it. Maybe it will turn up here?
