As Andy won't show pics of his latest creation, I will. The Book (you need to be up with the HHGTTG terminology), suggested that I hire The Heart of Gold to test its time travel capabilities. I found myself in 1930s Donegal, however infinitely improbable that was......

The place, Bruckless on the Killybegs branch. "Forbes' taxi" (aka Railcar No.1) has just arrived with its trailer. Andy tells me that the "Taxi" was to carry EIGHT - the trailer had about thirty seats!IMG_4398.thumb.JPG.b97132d40526283e6cc3dcd38e65729b.JPG

I'm happy to say that "Bruckless" attracted a continuous flow of visitors at the Southampton MREx yesterday, with Andy kept busy describing how he had built up (actually HE BUILT THEM!) his immense collection of CDR stock over a period of about thirty years.

Steam on the daily goods, complete with a "Henry Forbes" look-alike, in the form of the worthily proud builder.
