Weeks of timewasting profitable browsing with these two galleries of photographs. The late David Heys’ site has an informative text and is full of great photographs from all over the country. Just browsing, I was surprised to find BR Co-Bo … Continue reading

Happy birthday!
My eldest daughter seems to specialise in sending postcards rather than birthday cards. This one was well chosen to reflect my interests and my recent Stuttgart visit. Better than the one of Angela Merkle last year….. Thanks, Ruth!

Brooklands museum – 3
Next to the airliners is a building holding the London Bus Museum. Parked outside is a Green Line ‘RF’ – very much part of my childhood! But horse buses were well before my time. These old buses are still operational, and … Continue reading

Uckfield MRC exhibition 2019 #2
Charmouth (O-16.5) is set in West Dorset. De Graafstroom (3.5mm/ft scale, 12.26mm gauge or P87n3.5) is just brilliant, and was my highlight of the show. A slice of Dutch tramline set in 1947, it gives some wonderful views along the … Continue reading
