Normal for Norfolk #2

Posted on June 22, 2024 by snitchthebudgie

The North Norfolk also has its selection of diesels.  Some DMU’s – I really like the original livery with the ‘speed whiskers’ before they got safety conscious with the yellow panel. The train leaving from Platform 2…..  Is rather small….. … Continue reading →

The Dawes Brothers hit the road again, this time to my ancestral home of Norfolk.  The next few posts will have their wanderings, then Dave has sent me some pictures from deepest Wales.  Ron writes….. We drove up via M25, … Continue reading →

Potpourri #1108

Posted on June 14, 2024 by snitchthebudgie

Some interesting videos that amused me this week.  Of course, one has to start with Jago Hazzard.  Do you want to buy a station? Where to build London’s International station….  Pick any one from eleven? For the bus enthusiasts amongst … Continue reading →

After a slight diversion to the ESNG meeting, back to Allan’s photos of the exhibition down at Robertsbridge.  Today we have the other layouts on show.  There was no show guide, so I have been unable to identify a couple … Continue reading →

Rother Valley Railway show #1

Posted on June 8, 2024 by snitchthebudgie

A couple of weeks old, but here is a bit of a photodump of Allan’s photos of the exhibition down at Robertsbridge.  Our friends from the West Sussex Group contributed several exhibits, so today is rather monopolised by their layouts! … Continue reading →

A walk on the wild side?

New Forest MRS Exhibition 2024 #2

Posted on June 2, 2024 by snitchthebudgie

Los Tanimals (geddit?) in N was conceived as a smaller layout than the ‘Solent Summit’ modular setup.  Even so, it’s pretty large.  I think Allan kept photographing the loops to persuade me to build another one for ESNG…. Mainly Southern … Continue reading →

New Forest MRS Exhibition 2024 #1

Posted on May 31, 2024 by snitchthebudgie
