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 … Continue reading →

A few links of interest (perhaps). Holborn Viaduct – doomed but my favourite.  My father  Wapping…. The best train driver announcement? Two O gauge branch lines…. And to close, Denmark in HO.
