Wasn't there a guard walking in front of the engine?

Now, had it been the Caledonian ...Yes, but I don't think he wore a skirt either
Well theses days.....Yes, but I don't think he wore a skirt either

Did you know that it is not permissible to wear a kilt when working on the rail network in britain.

Presumably to avoid injuries to bare legs?

I don't think it's permitted to wear skirts on any building sites anymore. Health and safety.

Seems odd, doesn’t it - no skirts but shorts are ok! Both leave legs bare/unprotected.
Not quite. A skirt is loose fitting, so can easily snag, there's also a large vein which runs up your groin, shorts will give more protection there, think about posts sticking upwards, very amusing in some ways, but.....
Besides, an awful lot of sites do not allow shorts to worn anyway, also no short sleeve shirts is becoming popular too. Also gloves, safety specs are a common mandatory rule on proper sites. Of course, most jobbing builders ignore everything.

Probably ought to ask Rik to post another picture quick, we've hijacked his thread just a tinsy-winsy bit

British narrow gauge (esp. Southwold and W&LLR)
Not a problem - quite enjoying the banter. However, I've done a bit more to the loco - she now has lamps front and rear fitted with red/white bi-colour LEDs, buffers and couplings have been fitted as has a MLS soundcard. Hopefully, if the weather improves, I'll be able to try her out with a train or two.Probably ought to ask Rik to post another picture quick, we've hijacked his thread just a tinsy-winsy bit

And now, she's more or less complete - just a few minor tweaks to do.
Those skirts might be a problem if the moss grows any thicker - and I need to take an angle grinder to the platform at Peckforton.
I think you can see that she's constructed to 15mm scale when compared to the coaches. When I've finished the third Southwold coach and got around to constructing a train of GVT coaches I'll see how she looks alongside those (they are all 15mm).

A certain Mr Partridge of this parish was rude about one of my locos, calling it a hovercraft.
However, with those skirts on the narrow gauge, that definitely looks more like Luke Skywalker's hovering car

Assuming you have used the latest MLS card, which whistle (and country sound) have you used. I find the only one that is acceptable to be the Thomas one, not really that that is acceptable to me but the best I can find!
Ok thanks Rik, will give that one a try again. Have tried that a few times but always sounded to Gresly like, but perhaps with some messing on volume etc may work more to my liking.
