250 yards of unremarkable railway line, replicated in miniature. The WEF ate my hamster. Platform-agnostic. Wasn’t in The Fall. Also @dustmandave.bsky.social
Saturday Shark. Originally Engineers’ black, resprayed in manky Dutch about three years ago, since when I seem to have done pretty much sod all, railway-wise. Changing priorities and all that. Anyway, hope you’re all having a good weekend. #TMRGUK#modelrailway
It’s felt like a long 2025, but at least I finished tarting up that brake van and it took less than 12 months. So there’s that. A very happy #NewYear2026 to all you lot out there, especially the #TMRGUK veterans and everyone who’s shared my enjoyment of music and booze.
3D printed Hymac 580C. From delivery to fairly complete in 48 hours. Contrast that brake van that I started in February and still haven’t finished.

A relatively quiet afternoon at the sidings.
Meanwhile I’m struggling to make it to 7 o’clock without cracking open a beer, although not wanting my liver to fall out is providing some motivation. Happy #Monday, eh.

And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That were reconditioning a Henry hoover upon Saint Crispin's day.
Currently navigating my way through a bottle of this. Probably not advisable to go back to re-wiring the garage after that, but it is jolly nice! @innisandgunn
Current lack of railway stuff can be blamed squarely on the temptation to crack open a cold beverage or two and spend the evening sitting on the veranda enjoying the view and playing records. At this time of year, cider is quite acceptable. #TMRGUK#booze
Wednesday night is Takeaway Night. Ordered a parmo from the local place which turned out to be a tribute to Steve Austin, i.e. Stone Cold. Current status: bloated.
Meanwhile, down the end of the sidings…

New iPad arrived today. Old one was getting well past it, but I do tend to run tech for far longer than the people who make it would like. From back in the day, here’s a view of the sidings, looking South.

A super-saturated sunny #Saturday in the sidings. It’s very peaceful here. Time to chow down on a breakfast bacon roll before I have to start work.
