Lovely and hot today. No trains though as I don't want the grease to trickle out of the locomotives.

I did however get the grass cut in the front. It's really come on leaps and bounds, hard to believe its less than a month since work commenced. Getting a bit better at using the strimmer and clippers, just a bit close in one part today 
As always, Seth came to lend a hand, and get a more than daily dose of Nip....

Does anyone recall a song from the 1950's (?) called 'the railroad goes through the middle of the house'? . . . . or something similar. You could change the lyrics Duncan.

Seth looks quite a no-nonsense employer.

Lovely afternoon, and a few beers too! Seth learning how to be a Signalman from the shed.

Just a man in the middle of a complicated plan.
Not long after I'd started on the footplate, we where taking a 47 back to Warrington from Guide Bridge and got stopped at Eccles box, the signalman asked if we could drop of a package at Barton Moss, the next box and promptly handed us a cardboard box with a kittens head sticking out!! off we went with said kitten's box on the drivers desk, but by the time we got to Barton Moss it was out and wandering around the cab
trying to catch a cat in a 47 cab is not as easy as it sounds, hiding behind the drivers legs, under his seat, took some catching!!

Nothing too interesting, but a little job I've been meaning to do for some time. The wires that run under the patio door plinth have dropped for some time, ruining any pictures. There's a Sky cable, Internet cable, track power cable and some points cable. So I bought some 'L' trim to hold them up. Loads better.

Duncan, I like the wagon with the band playing.

Apparently you can change the songs, but I'm not technologically competent. I'd just end up with no music whatsoever.Duncan, I like the wagon with the band playing.

You need to hire a 4 year old to do that sort of thing.

Possibly the best value item at 20 quid a piece, that LGB make. Manual signals, just for a bit of simple, scenic interest at the front garden.
The grass continues to go wild while at work..... and the bald patch caused by me is starting a recovery too.

Well count yourself lucky - in the driest county in England the grass has stopped growing - no mowing, and looking decidedly brown
