We visited the Tolworth show this morning, so some pictures from this good exhibition will follow over the next few days.  But it’s been a busy day, so a few more odds and ends for today.

Rail replacement bus?  Not in Switzerland, mate!!

A visit to the Bridport branch.  An area I knew well, as my aunt farmed to the north – near Crewkerne and safely in Southern Railway territory.

And the remains of the line in 2021.

A whimsical starter from the Tolworth show (apologies for the reflections, but you’ll get the idea.)

For bus enthusiasts, two pictures of real buses in nearby Dorking.

Just a 100 yards from home, but this is Earlswood in 1979.  The goods sidings have gone, and the signal box will soon follow with the Brighton line resignalling.  We didn’t move here till 1986.  The retaining wall to the left is still there – that early concrete was good stuff, much better than that used in schools and hospitals.

With Stuttgart ten days away, the module is on schedule for completion.  The basic scenic shape is set up, and I have now added Modroc, painted it all, and started the scenic scatter process.  It should be finished in time.
