• (Odd really), Why this one doesn’t bend in the middle! 800303? Taken a while ago. But seeing 1000 (15) in this very spot recently got me dreaming of Western 1000 (41) Prince), Again in this very spot! Bristol – N/Abbot run 60 year ago? My mate on inner Bristol platform similar but not exact times would wave bye and he’s off London way! Then…

  • I noticed on 44871 a fancy yellow tagged air hose! Is that braked by default? Air? I would literally rip the vacuum pipe from its dolly for protection from a heavy train! Sit there smoking a fag all day! Or a nice panama! Nobody going anywhere! But now i see no guards van! Where’s train protection gone? Your trains derailed! Blocking the…

  • My earlier concern of 44871 getting wet on its Royal Duchy run to Cornwall this morning was unfounded, It shot through Dawlish cams, With great gusto! And dryer than an oven chip! The heavy rain forecast for today was absent! Its brightened up, Precipitation swung north to Manchester? Or maybe local meteorological guys have been out for a good…

      Pennine Twite, Atlantic wild Canary, or Serin? Not a clue! Not even if male or Female? If Male and lays an egg! Then very rare species indeed!

    • Dont know if any Locostop members travelling on the Royal Duchy to Par this morning? (44871 goes through Dawlish on YouTube Cams 11-45ish) Its just started to rain down here! Not too heavy, But forecast says to get worse as day goes on!

The East facing Dawlish cam on Utube best (depending on the Sun) West facing for Parsons nose! My granny called it that before I K Brunel cut a tunnel through it! The cam back at Brunel park seems to be on some sort of timer? Steam…

          • Yes, Ever decreasing ones? I tried to put a picture of my wild but very friendly Pennine finch bird on Roger Smiths page below! (vegetation clearance) But there’s not a camera icon? (But it does it on this section)?? Doh. A friend does any finance dealings i have and i pay cash in return! Simpler that way!

          • Ive just been told off by a Machine? Artificial intelligence dictate my old (very old) Brain took too long to edit my post? So now i dare not pour a beer! Nor light a fag in an outside fresh air drinking place for fear of polluting those around me (the elderly)? Maybe i should modernise my habits, Maybe i visit the Gulf, To sit and watch…

            • Lord knows where my Black 5s pictures went to? Halfway to Mars by now i spose?

              • Sounds about right ( sadly for the age we now live in ) AI telling people off. Stupid thing really. Common sense isn’t that common anymore. Someone else makes a mistake & you pay the price/penalty for it.

                Hope you have a good weekend though
