Hmmm. wildlife and railway mix pretty well, although overnight some critter keeps knocking my figures over...but as hobbies - marvelous. Loved the cat picture - but I'm going to ask a moderator to remove the cardigan one - ONLY JOKING.

Keep them pics coming guys ((n gals) (OR Bruces n Sheilas))

Les Patterson - saw him at the Aldwych Theatre once ('70s), but his co-star, Edna, was slinging gladioli from her swing into the audience.. those pair seemed to get on well... (groan groan groan, yes I know)

I'm not sure (we're not allowed to be political here) whether Cultural Attaches have changed much over the years.... :happy: :happy: :happy:

I'll have to crack a tinny and thunk about it - hic... blast spilt that one, have to get nahter....

I´ve had a number of "strange real visitors" recently, but most of them run Gauge 1 lines. Ooops, better go into hiding :eek: ???

The great hen invasion of 2011.  Snatched from a video so no the best quality picture.

This spider was chased off the indoor K&NWLR down into the cellar below the train cellar, where it took a bottle of Château Margaux hostage.

Is that Mel in the leather hat Gareth?
A Margaux is far too good for a blinking spider.You can usually tell a good wine by its subdued label.

Is that a good wine??
'Margaux' brings up memories of a Good Life!! - Thinking about it, possibly right in a different context.

Cat on line - not the strangest but most persistent. Now sadly departed the station after 20 years.
