When I get to Wimbledon station in the morning, I head to the London Underground platforms 1 - 4.

There is a departure board system that identifes which platform the first train will depart from.

Quite often, we all sit on the train in the indicated platfrom, and a train on another platfrom leaves first.

We all get quite hacked off.

I rest my case :impatient::impatient::impatient:

Right, I have tidied up this thread (removing the list and the "I want it" posts), please use this thread for pictures of the boxcar and associated comments....I will remove any "I want it" and the like posts.

Busted flat in [strike]Baton Rouge[/strike] Hammersmith, headin' for the trains,
Feelin' nearly faded as my [strike]jeans[/strike] fur.

Took us all the way to [strike]New Orleans[/strike] Green River................

At last after much [strike]cursings and swearings[/strike] efforts in changing the cuplinks ..............
our train is ready, and Robin's boxcar is here.

Sergei say he can't see why anybody could call it round, it's obviously oblonk :Looser:

Soon, the hobos start singing, about trains and prisons and Vassily starts feeling the homesickness

Vassily hijack a Speedsterthingumybob to take him back to Meerkovo

But a quick thinking railwaymans pulls a switch, and Vassily has to jump onto the brake pedals

Vassily is up before the Beaks who sentences him to 20 hours commununitity service :thumbdown:

We are beings sent away in disgraces - they have put special guards on the train

We are going down to the Great Dismal Swamp. We hope some friends will guide us to the Underground Railroad, and help us cross the County line.

As soon as we are in East Sussex, we can get to see Spike :bigsmile::bigsmile::bigsmile:

Was hoping to do a video if it don't rain this afternoon.
 
Did the boxcar get washed away in the drought?
 
Muns will be next - once I've taken my photos etc :)
Its my fault that it wasn't picked up.....holiday and then hardly any days off for weeks so I apologise but we're now back on track.
 
Despite the rain and then cold I managed to give the Round Robin a trip round the Elmleigh Light Railway.

The light was fading and its a bit blurred but it shows the steam nicely

More pictures soon...
 
The boxcar took a trip to milo's (Glyn's) LG&B RR (Hythe) tonight, pictures to follow.....it should get some running time on my own railway tommorrow and then it will go on a "special" trip on one of the oldest railways before moving on. :thumbup:
 
Yes, it was a great honour to host the RR Boxcar for a couple of hours on the original Lake George & Boulder (Hythe) RR last night.

The stuff it has collected on its trip is great.

As I haven't worked out which buttons to press to post a photo yet so I will leave Mark to do that.

All the best,

Glyn
 
Well here are some pics of the boxcar on Glyn's LG&B RR (Hythe) garage railway behind my visiting Otto...
