The colour of that bit, on the left, is a little 'nostalgic' ? - From a uk-centric point of view, anyway? :think::blush:

Thank you folks,
Its been a while,, and incase your interested here's why, my stepson is adhd, autistic with aspergers, he's been abused by his natural father till his mum kick his dad out when he was 7. His mum was a battered woman.
He's not a pleasant person when angry, and we have been desperately trying to get him somewhere else to stay, 20th December, we. Found a flat, 14 minutes walk away. It was a dump.. It needed striping back and redecorationing ect.. Which given that no other person will do it ment I had to do it.. Its taken till now to get it sorted . New carpets, cctv, oven, hob, washer, dryer, microwave, bed ect.. So no time for my self or the railway. Till today.. And now we have to redecorationing his old room into jennys office/dining room, except, her mates moved in.. So.. Things are going on at home..
But I did manage to get my loco from Paul's in York. IMG_20200208_120216.jpgIMG_20200208_155747.jpgIMG_20200208_160309.jpgIMG_20200208_160433.jpgIMG_20200208_160325.jpgIMG_20200208_160440.jpgIMG_20200208_164152.jpgIMG_20200208_163959.jpgIMG_20200208_163842.jpgIMG_20200208_163337.jpg

Go-on then.. I am carp with names:
Is the guy on the left (phantom cake-eater, from way-back in the thread) Paul?
The other gentleman? - Was it him on your shed roof? Would he be the 'S'?? :think::wondering:

Well if he's an AA man, he must be used to sheds, just like my first car, a shed on wheels, shredding bits as it went

Nice loco Mike, but I thought the delivery note said Gift Aid Item and it was supposed to come here to cheer up a poor old pensioner.:sleepy::sleepy::sleepy::sleepy::envy:

Well it's been as windy as fluff here,, wet too, but not inside da shed anymore, jobs have started, some even on the railway, a new lazy Grange Bay fire service land rover was acquired via evilbay from Dorset fire service, well that's what it did say on its side, not any more, repainted it out in red. Trains have run in between showers/downpoors/epic flooding.

I've ordered /won 2 scammel via eBay, which I've made, not the worst kit ever, and it looks like they are no longer available, I wonder why.. But they do look like it,... I think. IMG_20200423_095922.jpgIMG_20200401_145945.jpgIMG_20200331_104751.jpg
