I know you have probably all seen this by now, but; I love my friends so much. All these wonderfully talented people coming together to make something so special! When it was shown at The Magic Latern Cinema, I had no idea about this. Absolutley remarkable. Watch now! youtu.be/3Z0hAbbLNzU?...

Always loved the art you've made for the extravaganzas they've been really amazing

The right side of the NBR Y10 model sitting on a brown box on my desk.

Not shared pictures of my model purchase from last month at Perth. It's an NBR Y10. Completely scratch built and the number 1010

Still remember when we met up to film parts of that episode as I think that's when we went to Harburn and I bought the rest of the J36s I had on order. I still also remember have fun voicing Haig.

After regauging my J37 loco body chassis. I was able to regauge the tender chassis. This is it pulling a small goods on my clubs layout. Now to look at changing her from BR to LNER 30s condition

So I recently bought an EM gauge J37. It was a lovely model but as I model in OO I had to swap the axels over from EM to OO. Here is the loco running after swapping the axels over last night. She's missing her tender as I still need to swap the tender wheels over.

I've barely posted anything on here for a while so here's a video of my Jones Goods pulling a rail tour style train at Model Rail Scotland on my clubs layout Glendevon back in February. Thanks to Linny for filming the video.

What if Auld Lang Syne was in comic/manga form?

The combination of a recent trip to Edinburgh, a rewatch of @oldlongsign.bsky.social 's Auld Lang Syne series, a 7 hour train ride and a hangover created this...thing!

Think it has to be "Matt Berry reads prince Harry's 'spare'"

The time has come...

A shot of a house interior. The scene shows a wooden dresser in the centre and on the right of it is a bed with blue covers and a blue checked curtain. On the left is another white dresser on which there are blue and white plates. Next to this, is a sink. There is a small window, and on the left and right respectively is a stool and a chair.

In 1930, the Royal Academician Norman Wilkinson painted this poster for the London, Midland & Scottish and London & North Eastern Railways, showing the birthplace of Robert Burns.

The windmill from the opening titles of Thomas & Friends.

One of those passings that's quite hard to process. But Britt (and David), in bringing Thomas to television, introduced him to kids like me, at the perfect age to fall in love with Sodor and all of its stories. I think that's a legacy to admire.

Thank you, Britt :)

Didn't get a chance to share a picture of the model of the Jones Goods. She's a lovely model and runs really great, I've had her run on my clubs layout but forgot to film it. Well done to @rapidotrains.co.uk

A railway poster. Above and below the central image it says "At Christmas, busy people relax by L&NWR". Shown is Father Christmas sitting in first class on the left of the carriage; he is in traditional-looking garb, with a red outfit, a beard, a fur-lined hat and a white beard. He is holding red wine. In front of him is a sumptuous meal, including a full cooked bird. Next to him is a member of the railway staff, holding a massive Christmas pudding on a tray. We can see past Santa out the window and the world outside is snowy.

Ramona Flowers sits in a large Christmas jumper with a mug of tea near a window. She is leaning against the curtain and looks cozy and peaceful as it snows outside

a photograph of Lisa Miller during her high school years - she is lit from the side by the setting autumn sun as leaves fall in the background. She is posed like the Mona Lisa, arm over arm and leaning against a tree. There is an overall wistful, long-ago feeling to the image, representing a past that's out of reach, and a friendship that could have been more.

Happy December, everyone. This never fails to make me smile.

Happy St. Andrew's Day!

Did You Know:

...before being named after a general in 1919, Maude was named Andrew (after the patron saint of Scotland)? This breaks a little rule I have about having characters not sharing names with friends. Sorry, Andrew.
