To start today, Derek sent me a couple of Stuttgart photos.  This one shows all our empire, and all the ESNG crew – including a full set of Healy’s.  I seem to be admiring all that beer (or what’s left of it, anyway.)

And those pesky unicorns.  I’m not convinced by the livery on the pink one….

I’ve always liked the Southern Region MLV parcels units.  And especially in ‘jaffa cake’ livery.  Ian Docwra captured this one heading from Woking to Dorking.

I often wonder whether some wagons are in real liveries, or made up ones by the manufacturer.  Here’s proof that Birds Eye containers existed, passing through Great Yarmouth.  Perhaps I need to collect a full train of them, rather than one or two in my container train?  Some fine road vehicles in the picture, too.

Whoops!

And modelling challenge of the day.  No moving parts, but a change of running rails for metre-gauge trains entering the platform.

Back to my youth – EPB units in Orpington sidings in 1976.

And another modelling idea – Epping (where else?)

NCB Maesteg in 1969. I’ve no idea why!!!
