leslie10646 Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 (edited) 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! 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. Railcar No.9 (20 seater) Steam on the daily goods, complete with a "Henry Forbes" look-alike, in the form of the worthily proud builder.

I WILL !!!!! Well worth the train ride to Southampton! of the Goods ....... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leslie10646 Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 BRUCKLESS ALERT! Mind you you have to be Wiltshire this weekend (so no excuse @Galteemore). Bruckless is at Calne, see below! https://www.calnemrs.org.uk/ Come and see a narrow gauge line which was almost as good as the Rhaetian Railway (was - EMUs everywhere these days!)! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leslie10646 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 1 hour ago, Gabhal Luimnigh said: Lucky you today It was great to meet up with Andy and David today. It was the 13th on one respect that I missed a photo of the Great Britain tour having failed to find the watering point near Wantage (now grotesquely build up!). Linda, though, had the Winner in the National! Here's the three of them admiring the Forbesian Cavalade to end all n arrow gauge cavalcades with Andy's CDRJC railcars in numerical order No.1 (two versions of No.2) right through to No.12, so Phoenix was there as No.11 - being admired by @Galteemore, @Andy Cundick and my Chauffeuse! Then as the line grew! Quite show of narrow gauge delights! Brilliant Andy and thnaks for getting them out for @Galteemore 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
