Well, it’s all done and dusted.  A few tables to return to the church I borrowed them off, and I need to return my bits of railway to the loft room.  That might wait a couple of days whilst I … Continue reading →

Potpourri #1048

Posted on March 26, 2022 by snitchthebudgie

An interesting prototype to model – all you need is a Kato Eurostar and a dummy/failed Class 66. I would have loved to have visited Feltham in the early 1960’s….. Or anywhere with a G6 still in action….. Gatwick as … Continue reading →
