Professional time waster. Cars, trains, planes, boats, food, beer, music, whisky and general daftness 😀.

@Captain_Deltic @anon_opin There was, it was called Diesel

@Captain_Deltic @anon_opin I’d say Thomas was a 20. Edward would be the Class 37.

@railnigel She was a remarkable lady.

@mototingle Unless things have changed since I left Castrol in 2020, production has been in Belgium and Germany since the blending plant in Stanlow closed in 2014

@JoeBrownLondon These were my local trains when I was growing up. Lovely units!

@MrJamesMay @DeborahMeaden Science Museum Store in Wroughton even better. Stuffed full of goodies in a new purpose built building, and it’s on my doorstep. Well worth a visit.

@Hush_Kit We had a Wessex land in our school field. (It was a planned visit).

@steve220459 @karenfthompson We knew it as greaseproof sandpaper at school.

@MrJamesMay @AllisonPearson I’d replace Tinky Winky with the Clangers!

[Are friends electric? @electricdave68]

@mikedroit @CLondoner92 Complicated and more expensive to run than the Metrobus and subsequent Olympian, I think the Titans still went on to have a decent length of service in London.

@railnigel RHDR is awesome. One of my favourites. I’ve done 2 driver experiences from New Romney across the marsh to Dungeness and loved every second. Just wish I lived closer.

@CARandDRIVER Hell yeah. In a world of SUVs, we need more wagons!

@AutoPap Tres bon, c’est magnifique!

@mikespencerpics @RailwayMagazine @SaphosTrains Nothing beats a 40 at full chat!

@Hush_Kit Trident

@Hush_Kit Gnat….. no contest!

@Lucy_Worsley A beautiful vessel, and a great excuse to be late home! Well worth a trip - we sailed on her on the Bristol Channel a couple of years ago. Would love to sail up the Thames through Tower Bridge on her.

@railnigel Nice view, good speed but I fear the train itself is the weak link here. Over here in GWR land our electric cucumbers already seem to be showing their age. Last few I’ve been on rattled and shook. MK3 or 4 much more comfortable!

@BronHebog @MrTimDunn The Waverley is rather wonderful, and so is the Shieldhall, with its triple expansion engjnes which you can see working when she’s underway.

@railnigel Useful to know, as I had wondered why I couldn’t find it on the shelves recently. I was a big fan of the coal tar shampoo. It really worked for me, and I even liked the smell! I’ll try calling.
