Round Robin boxcar

[Gizzy]

Nice Gizzy. Enjoy the operations on your railway. By the way all I would like to joing the Q for the RRV

After the EM&BHR, I believe it's going 'North of the (Suffolk) Border' to the BL&E in Narfolk, but after that, who knows....

Had a visitor today.

The controller or The LG&B, he delivered the RRV to the EM&BHR. The wagon was soon put to work and Boxcar Billie put in a show,

Being hauled by Karen Patricia.

There were some escapees from the boxcar, they soon found another riding place.

Another soon found a place to ride.

A pleasant afternoon running trains with a mate

I wuz freezing me bits off and I weren't moving from the shed!

Been a chilly Easter so far....

Thanks to Gizzy, the Boxcar has arrived on the BL&E - it seems to much confusion........

While the harmonica plays, Thaddeus the Thinker muses over the coupling........

"That darn thang ain't gonna work" he mutters, and goes to sit on the loco pilot to muse some more.

Thaddeus likes musing........

Boxcar is lookin' good on your layout Don. Funny, I recognise some of them characters....just gone out to me line to check to see if they had gone for a wander..... That geezer lying down on the track is a lazy devil over here as well!
The Railpress figures are a great addition to a railroad.

where is it????

 

[pugwash]

Mmm, just a thought: there are blanks under France and Germany and we defo have members there, are they interested in running the boxcar too?
I must point out that I think they joined the forum since the robin started its tour so maybe an update of what this is all about is needed, I mean going through 26 pages of 'where has it gone?' with an occasional photo isn't inspiring reading, is it?

 

[pugwash]

where is it????

Surprise! We left it in the boot of that TR3 you were doing up. Did you find it?
Come to think of it, stuff the LGB and send us the TR

 

[shropshire lad]

Er guys, wouldn't it make sense to send it to NHN before it goes too far away? Assuming it's not on Ebay by now

 

[3Valve]

If it's on Ebay it will be listed as a "Very rare one of a kind hand painted LGB box van" with a starting bid of £200

 

[yb281]

If Ian's still got it, maybe he's planning to hand it on to somebody on Saturday?

 

[CoggesRailway]

Yes I have it, yes I need to put the piccies in this thread, and yes I am hoping to pass it on on Saturday.... Sorry I have been remiss my life has been a bit nuts between receiving it and now. It is safe with me and if no one wants it on Saturday I will post it on. Pics soon....

 

[shropshire lad]

Missed the bit about it being with you Ian.Many apologies,I know you are having a mad time.
I thought it was lost in transit somewhere.
I think the list is a bit off too, last time I saw the box car Chris M was holding it!

 

[CoggesRailway]

Your forgiven Colin....

 

[Steve]

Are the Kats still safe Ian

.... Sorry I have been remiss my life has been a bit nuts between receiving it and now.

Sorry to hear that Ian - I do hope you're on the way to getting sorted !
