Nice Pics Peter , where would one purchase this invisible ballast

From a supplier of Invisible Ballast, of course! We recommend Imperial Ballast Quarries: phone Zenda 007 (half-day Wednesday). Discounts for any ground dwelling rodents.

The engineers were out and about this morning. A rudimentary "church service" was maintained by Mighty Mouse(2) and the railbus trailer.

Track fettling was checked for line and level by Charlie....

Ruritanian Railways is pleased to announce the arrival of another vehicle to support the revived postal service. Our MD spotted a bargain in Germany (again)! The new van is seen on shed at Zenda depot. Mallets simmer gently in the distance.

Is that to expedite delivery of invisible mail???? The L&L possesses such a vehicle, for delivery of the far northern manx mail!

Well there is a constantly growing demand for bottled Ruritanian mountain air. We hope to ship many litres of it in the run up to Christmas!

What a fantastic opportunity! On the grounds we can see our one and only mountain from here (well, from the front garden anyway!) we could also capitalise on this. Once again the management of the Ruritanian Railways are ahead of the game, they surely are the world leaders in invisible produce - well done!!

Isn't there a saying, "to look you need eyes, to see you need faith"

(but don't ask me who Faith is)

Swine!! You know I've got a thing about post vans. I'm stuck under the computer desk now .............. again. :impatient:

After the excitement of new postal vehicles, normal service was resumed today. Hoppers full to the brim of invisible ballast descend Pootank Pass behind Mallet number 1.

Just a thought - as it decends pootank pass, with brakes hard on presumably. Is invisible ballast heavy?

 

[CoggesRailway]

course it is stockers. it's invisible not pretend!

I reckon that what we need is a Ruritanian special edition first day cover to mark the new postal train service.

EDIT - The picture was of a pennt red postage stamp - but I deleted it, forgeting it had a link here.:impatient:

Charming picture of Prince Rudolf's great-great-great-grandmama. The family resemblance is remarkable: HSH wears a crown too.
