As the name suggests, I like trains. I also love theme parks, all things transport, comedy and the greatest band in the world - Queen. I am a volunteer at the Epping Ongar Railway and Basildon Miniature Railway. All opinions are my own. He/him.

It’s not the size that matters, it’s what you do with it.

I’m referring to the song Bijou from the album Innuendo by the way.

How can just the sound of this man’s guitar make me want to cry?

I found this in a shop the other day. This might be the best drinks bottle I’ve ever seen.

The Epping Ongar Railway’s annual real ale and cider festival is next weekend. It’s always a great weekend with a great atmosphere.

This train appears to be flying! What do you mean it’s not a train?

Some incredible photos from the rear cab of the 1938 stock on Sunday from my good friend, Daniel.

I traveled on this 1938 stock yesterday on the Piccadilly Line. It was absolutely incredible! It was like travelling back in time. I’m so thankful that the London Transport Museum does stuff like this. I thoroughly recommend it.

My best friend @phall4953.bsky.social is now a fully qualified guard on the EOR. He’s worked so hard for this and I’m so proud of him.

It’s nice to see D8001 back in action at the EOR again, even if it does look like it needs a repaint. At one point it was the royal train! πŸ˜‚ Pitchford Hall was put in the naughty corner for setting fire to everything yesterday and we had some interesting looking passengers sat in one of the coaches.
