Trains etc

 

Wee videos, just for fun.

The locomotives are working, thanks to Brian and got their first wee run out yesterday and earlier this week.
I made the mistake of using the above glue to stick some track to concrete. I had never used it before and what a mess it made. Will need to try to get the excess glue off the slab,with a  pick axe ?
The mess in all its glory. Nasty glue imho. 
Outdoor cucumber coming along very nicely indeed.
To South Queensferry yesterday to accompany my daughter’s swim and then coffee and pastries at Dune.
Earlier in the summer we dragged this large potted plant out from the shadows where it had been since getting to a far more prominent place. Delighted with the look but it was to be the site of some garden railway developments, time for a rethink re railway.
The shoreline yesterday. 
A wee addition to the Penedredfel Light Railway. A clue - Guinness.

A blast from the past

 My Airfix pre ordered figures arrived today. A blast from the past , full of memories. 






On reflection l think l prefer the figures in grey plastic as they were back in the day. What do you think? Anyone else buying into these?


In the Duchy

 

The Hundred is back !
After and before track maintenance, no more leaves on the line.

An excellent read, would definitely recommend.
