Lovely event and was amazing to walk around the NRM basically empty and see the newly painted 91105.

Always liked the idea of Farringdon International, Tube, Thameslink, both Crossrail lines and pretty central, though be a lot more work.
Some cat photos after they've finally been let out.

Setting up a work laptop and having to look at Win11 in its natural state should come with a free therapy session.
Need to quell my immediate instinct to install half a dozen programs and patches to make the UI usable.
Morning all. One of those views you never tired ofβ¦When youβd walk through those shuttered barriers at Waterloo and get your first glimpse of the mighty English Electric.
Hope you all have a wonderful day. π
