Spare seat in Bubble Tournament for grabs

[TightEnd]

Quainton railway centre in Bucks and the Nene valley railway near Peterborough, both worth a visit

[AdamM]

  must be a wind up? the thread, not the train

[AlrightJack]

Ever been on the Damson Express?

Runs on the green gage.

[tikay]

Yes please TightEnd.

Get bsck to your knitting and BB Adam. And I daresay, your Daily Mail.

[AdamM]

knitting? huh?

BB? in passing

Daily Mail? wouldn't buy it with your money

[tikay]

AlrightJack, trains are not a matter about which you should joke, they have influenced the whole fabric of society, & were a fine example of Victorian Engineering at it's best, particularly ISK & the GWR. And have you ever admired the eighth wonder of the world that is St Pancras Station?

[owner]

Narrow, 3'6 I think.  Climbs 650ft in 15 miles.

No, but i bet he has spent an hour or two hanging around kings cross

At the Quainton railway centre, near Aylesbury there is upwards of 30 engines in varying stages of renovation together with a number of working locomotives. If you ever get the chance it is a good day out

IF you are ever down on Devon the Exmoor railway between Ilfracombe and Barnstaple has a narrow gauge railway in operation in addition to two monstrous black engines freshly imported from South Africa where they were used on the high veldt. They will cost an arma and a leg to restore but are quite magnificient.

Ironside, thats sounds ok. I don't spend alot of time in tournaments anyway, unless someone I know is running particularly well.
I se the need to seperate results and live reports, but shouldn't we be making more use of the main site for reports and results? then again, i suppose it gets stuff up quick doing it on the forum.

as long as the new webbo tidys up the articles section on the main site that's make my day.

ooops i keep forgetting there is a main site at blonde, bit like the mobs site i only read the forums lol

[AlrightJack]

Tikay, I admire the finest example of gothic architecture in the world that is St Pancras station daily from my bedroom window! 

Yes Kev, I have, given that I live there!

[tikay]

TightEnd,

I am primarily interested only in GWR stock, do they have any in Aylesbury?

As to Devon, if I am not mistaken, the line you mention was the site of the world's first ever atmospheric railway. This is a fascinating subject, & here is a website which mentions it, well worth a visit.

Ironside. The Main Site has been a bit neglected the last month for technical reasons, (which is why I have majored on the Forum), but it's getting back up to speed now, it's got streaming video & all sorts, & from Monday, if you want to read Tournament Reports, Results & Articles, you will have to go there, because I will not be putting them on the Forum any more.

Kev - FINAL WARNING! As it happens, I have spent many happy days at Kings Cross, even though it's only crappy LMS, but thats not what you were suggesting, now is it?

[tikay]

A big up to AlrightJack for his view (literally & figuratively) on St Pancras, WHAT a buildinig. And the Hotel re-opens soon.

Things have changed around there a bit in the last 20 years, eh?
